Zombie Gunship Survival

The game features unique characters from the Warriors series

For the uninitiated, the Dynasty Heroes Warriors Fight games take place in ancient China, when several clans were vying for control of the nation.

The game's primary mode, the musou mode, lets you choose from one of the unlocked warrior and begins a storyline that explains that warrior's role within the history of this ancient warfare.

Of course, things have been dramatized a good bit, with the warriors themselves being dolled up in a fairly anime-like fashion,

and the battles themselves mostly involve you running around and beating up hundreds of enemy fighters like a hot knife through butter.

Also, the stories here aren't told through the same hyperstylized cutscenes as the console game, but rather through decidedly duller text-based menus prior to each battle.

As was the case in Dynasty and Samurai: State War Warriors, Vol. 2 chunks up each of the individual battles into a grid-based map.

Whereas on consoles you could simply run around an open battlefield with no restrictions,

each individual section of a field here is sectioned off.

Using a turn-based structure, you simply move from square to square, engaging in battles each time you come into contact with the enemy.

Time is a resource here, and each time you move from square to square, a chunk of time comes off the clock.

Generally, it's not tough to get through battles without running out of time,

though periodically you will find yourself crisscrossing the field to complete some side missions.

These extra endeavors, such as rescuing a village from a crowd of raiders, net you some upgrade bonuses.

A few tweaks have been made to the gameplay, especially in the items and officers systems.

Apart from being able to collect horses in the same way you could collect new weapons at the end of each battle,

there are now even more officers to select from at the beginning of each stage.

As before, you can select up to four officers to come into battle with you,

and each officer has specific attack bonuses and soldier types available.

It can be tough to grasp what the tangible benefits are in selecting one officer over another.

Beyond their relative strength level and abilities, when you're battling Dynasty Heroes Warriors Fight out on the field,

it doesn't seem much harder or easier based on which officers you choose to come with you.

Even on the hardest difficulty setting, you'll feel like you're a one-warrior show through the majority of the fights.
