Now Viewing: shin_sangoku_musouTag type: Copyright (真・三國無双) A popular 3d hack and slash video game franchise based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is known as Sangoku Musou in Japan, and developed by Koei. It is one of the most well known series created by the company. It is localized as Dynasty Warriors in North America. The numbering scheme of Dynasty Warriors and Shin Sangoku Musou is different; there are more 'Dynasty Warriors' games than there are Shin Sangoku Musou games. In other words, Dynasty Warriors 2 is the equivalent of Shin Sangoku Musou 1, Dynasty Warriors 3 is the English localization of Shin Sangoku Musou 2, etc. Prior to the main Shin Sangoku Musou, there was a fighting game, also developed by Koei, based off of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms called Sangoku Musou, which was localized as Dynasty Warriors. The game was made into a Chinese live action film in 2018, directed by Roy Hin Yeung Chow and written by Christine To, which utilizes CG effects to simulate the large scale battles seen in the original game. This makes the film an adaptation of a Japanese game which itself is an adaptation of a Chinese story/historical event. The game places the player in control of the various iconic Romance of the Three Kingdoms warriors and has the player play through the many large scale battles of the story and there will often be a large amount of fighters fighting each other on-screen at once. Whoever the player plays as will end up as a highly destructive one man or one woman army, slaughtering thousands of soldiers, often over the course of a single battle, as well as defeating rival characters. While all of the games draw from the same source, each game makes some narrative changes, adds new playable characters, and some new game mechanics. Like the source, the cast is male dominant, but one notable change the game makes is the inclusion of more playable female fighters, many of who appear in the source material even though most of them did not fight as much as they do in this series. The games have a large cast of playable characters who are divided into several groups, much like the original book. The soundtracks to the games are a fusion of traditional Chinese instrumentation and modern rock. The franchise has had a few spinoffs like Hokuto Musou (Hokuto no Ken with Dynasty Warriors style gameplay) and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam which use the same basic gameplay style. Besides the gameplay, the spinoffs also feature a similar rock soundtrack. It has also crossed over with Sengoku Musou (Samurai Warriors) in a game series titled Musou Orochi. Note: As the game is an adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it shares many of the same characters as the book and other adaptations of the book. *= Characters who originally appear outside of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the historical events the book is based on.
