Dynasty Warriors Hacks Its Way To Tablets

Koei Tecmo, the development giant behind a slew of brutal console titles is bringing some of the love to IOS with the recent announcement that its flagship hack ‘n’ slash series, Dynasty Warriors, is hitting tablets in the East by the end of July.

For those unfamiliar with the series, players take the role of a hero from Chinese legend, then stomp across gigantic battle setpieces whilst slicing, stabbing and striking through countless hordes of (seemingly) worthless soldiers. Amidst all the over-the-top combos there is light RPG and strategy elements (such as taking control of certain areas on the map) and you’ll need to duel similar hero characters from the opposing side.

These core elements make up the nuts and bolts of every title, but at least each subsequent release features redesigns of the series’ staple characters and battles, new weapons, items and features, graphical overhauls and enough new content or gameplay gimmicks to differentiate it from its predecessors. I'm optimistic that the mobile release, Dynasty Warriors Blast, will at the very least provide a different take on the series and its forbears, but until a Western release date is announced, we'll have to wait and see.
