Dynasty Warriors 2

200066/100
SimulatorStrategyHack and slash/Beat 'em up

Fantasy · Historical

Its blend of large-scale combat and historical fiction was a potent formula. You're dropped into the chaos of ancient China, tasked with single-handedly routing armies with a satisfyingly simple control scheme that belies the strategic depth of battlefield positioning and officer duels. The draw here is the sheer spectacle of mowing down hundreds of enemies, a power fantasy that still holds up thanks to the game's unique blend of arcade action and strategic considerations.

About Dynasty Warriors 2

Details
From this game onward, the player chooses a playable character general, and plays through a number of levels representing particular conflicts in the time of the three kingdoms, eventually defeating both of the other kingdoms and becoming the ruler of a unified China. However this game is not a one-on-one fighting game like the original Dynasty Warriors, but a beat 'em up hack and slash fighting game in full 3D, similar in genre to Fighting Force. Unlike previous games in the beat 'em up genre, Dynasty Warriors 2 allowed players the freedom to roam to any point within the limits of the current stage being played.
