Dynasty Warriors (三國無双, Sangokumusō) is a weapon-based fighting game developed and published by KOEI. It was released on December 1, 1997 for the PlayStation. Unlike the later installments in the series which are hack and slashers, Dynasty Warriors is a fighting game. The graphics are similar to Tekken. In Japan, the game was released as Sangokumusō, however, the next installment Dynasty Warriors 2 was completely different from the original Dynasty Warriors, as a result Dynasty Warriors 2 has been entitled in Japan as Shin Sangokumusō, while it was released as Dynasty Warriors 2 in North America, leading to the discrepancy in title numbers. The fighting system in Dynasty Warriors is fairly complex. All combat is weapon-based, similar to the Soulcalibur series. The player's aim is to parry the enemy's strikes with considerable timing and recognition, leaving the enemy vulnerable to attack. Dynasty Warriors does not feature as many stages as subsequent Dynasty Warriors Games. Stages all start off with The Yellow Turban Rebellion. The stages are in Morning, Noon and Dusk. The next game in the series, Dynasty Warriors 2, is a great departure in genre and style.
