DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires adds tactical & strategic war elements to the 1 vs. 1, 000 action of KOEI TECMO’s revered DYNASTY WARRIORS series, enabling gamers to take to the battlefield & find success with not only the sword but through a robust political system in their attempts to conquer Ancient China. The game features scenarios that transport gamers to different periods, enabling them to play through historic moments like the Yellow Turban Rebellion & the Battle of Chibi. But just because you’re playing through historic periods, doesn’t mean you need to follow history in order to be successful. Re-write your own history of the Three Kingdoms in ways you’ve never imagined, like unifying China with all officers from Wu still alive, or by assembling your favourite officers into one comm&, or even by sparking a rebellion to take control of the map! Depending on play style, gamers will be rewarded with one of six titles based on reputation. After receiving your title, the affinity between you & the other officers will change, & there will even be special events to help showcase the truly good & truly evil among us. As event scenes play out, you will also be able to witness intense human drama. By deepening your relationships with your favourite officers, not only will you be able to marry them, but you can also have a child who has the ability to grow up & become an officer, enabling gamers to play through Conquest mode once again, only this time, playing as the new officer who they’ve already watched grow up inside their game.
