Dynasty Warriors 6 Review - 10/10
As the game hasn't been released yet, it would not serve dynasty warriors right to just guess ratings for most of the aspects so I’ll just talk about how it has changed.
Ok Dynasty Warriors has been a long running franchise since the days of dynasty warriors 2 (dw1 wasn't the same type of gameplay thus why its Shin Sangoku Musou 5 in japan)
The game probly doesn't have any new characters, untill dw6 extreme legends, sadly there were cuts to characters.

Renbu System
This is the new gameplay system that allows unending attack. It is displayed from the Renbu gauge next to the character portrait, and the Renbu rank. As you rack up chains, the gauge will continue to increase, and after maxed out, the Renbu rank will go up. However, if you are hit by the enemy, the gauge will go down.
The normal moveset resembles Gundam Musou's system but in an infinite loop style (aka. never ending). As the Renbu rank goes up, new moves will be added to the moveset.
The starting max rank for Renbu is 2, but can go up as you level up. Also, by equipping a special item, the rank can go up to infinite for a while.
Bases and Gates
At the first glance, the base system looks like Gundam Musou's system. But the difference is, the base guard will already appear even if you haven't drained the morale/durability gauge. By defeating the guard, the gauge will decrease greatly.
Door of bases can be destroyed by your weapon
and once there are no enemies around, it will be repaired by engineering troops.
Other than the normal base, there is also a 'shooting' base where arrow volleys are shot within 100m of radius.
Castle gates have a door durability gauge, and cannot be destroyed by your weapon, so a siege engine like ram will be needed.
Once you have cleared the surroundings of the castle gate, your troops will begin constructing the siege engines.
To aid the siege engines, you may need to disable the castle defense by climbing the ladder which is set by your troops.
Attacks & Move sets
Pressing attack or charge button while blocking will execute a grapple attack.
Pressing down in D-pad will summon your horse. Seems like movement will be done with analog stick only.
It looks like most of the character-mounted attacks will be one-sided just like in SW.
Combo number is renamed to Chain, and the counting method is similar to Sengoku Basara, Devil Kings and Samurai Warriors 2. It is importantly related to Renbu system.
Special moves from SW2 are added.
and i noticed that sometimes you have to face a general in a dual and the soldiers just go around in a circle then become invincible so you can only fight the general as seen in this pic
(but the soldiers don't fight when like this so its ok for them to not be hitable )
Stats
This game will be using the now commonly used level system instead of stat-up drops.
Weapon equipping is still here.
There will be a new skill tree with multiple branches. To unlock the skills, you will need skill points.
There will be sub-missions that will give you EXP if you succeed in it.
Environment
You can execute some surprise attacks and confuse enemy troops, such as jumping from a cliff.
You can now climb ladders, swim and ride boats.
Dead bodies will not disappear ASAP, they will stay for a while. Koei also made it that there is a massive amount of enemies/allies on screen (best example the Dian Wei clip or Zhang Fei pics on gamespot like this pic).
Wild animals are back. Other than tigers, wolves will also appear. With a certain skill, you can tame them.
There will be various traps such as flame-shooting statues, arrow walls and floor-moving devices.
More screenshots can be found (higher res aswell) at
koeiwarriors.simgames.net
Just go to dynasty warriors 6 and screenshots would come up
although there are pics that aren’t on the koeiwarriors site on gamespot
(such as Xiahou Dun and newer Zhang Fei ones)
au.gamespot.com/
Ok now heres the trailer of the game that koei released
You can download it (Ultra High Quality (more than gametrailers trailer)) at
files.filefront.com/
I hosted the file myself since I can't find the proper link ._.
Heres the game play videos
Zhao Yun
Dian Wei
Sun Shang Xiang
They can also be found higher quality at
www.gametrailers.com/
Although don't dl the trailer from there I hosted a higher quality version from my filefront
In my opinion the new dynasty warriors is going to be worth the wait and money (even though Koei hired more staff to make this game faster, so there’s less of a wait) that’s why as a personal opinion I give this game 10/10 for the amount of changes they have done to the game
I hope I changed your minds about Dynasty Warriors and hope to see what the game plays like when I get it, I'll have fun playing this game and you would too
Information taken from the koeiwarriors forum info topic
so I might have to update after abit but when that time comes I'll use word ._.
