Warriors Orochi 3: Hyper (Nintendo Wii U, 2012)

Product Specs

Description

Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors meet again to face a common foe in developer Omega Force's distinct style of hack-and-slash combat. First in the crossover series to be published by the merged Tecmo Koei, Warriors Orochi 3 features characters from established Tecmo games, along with the full cast of playable warriors from Koei's previous editions of the title. History's greatest generals are called together, through time and space, to defeat the monster Youja. Emerging relationships underlie the storyline, which plays a more central role than in earlier games. Throughout the game, players have the opportunity to choose from a roster of more than 120 characters, including Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa, Dead or Alive's Ayane, Jeanne d'Arc from Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War, and Achilles from the Dynasty Warriors-inspired Legends of Troy. As characters form strategic alliances, engage in diplomacy, and fight side-by-side in battle, a bond develops between them, allowing them to team up in special combo attacks. The game also includes a scenario editor, and built-in tools for sharing player-created missions online. Exclusive to the Wii U edition is a "Duel Mode" that allows users to duel the computer or go online and battle friends. Multiplayer options allow users to team up via a split-screen or one player can have the television screen to him/herself while a partner uses the Wii U GamePad screen.
