Koei Tecmo has announced-via Famitsu-that they will be expanding their Dynasty Warriors franchise to a new genre. Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden will be the first strategy RPG style game for the long running series.
Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden will play on grid style maps allowing players to move troops around in classic SRPG fashion to meet victory conditions. A system being introduced is named “Resonance” which uses bonds made between the troops in order to combo attacks together and cause large amounts of damage. Additionally, there will be scenario battles, free battles, and side elements.
Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden is coming to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita in 2016 in Japan.
