About the Game
About 1800 years ago in China, there were three fearless warriors battling for ultimate control over the country. One who stood up for righteousness. Veterans who shared the same swarmed under each leader. These stalwart souls waged war across the vast expanse of the land and, like blood thirsty demons, cut down any and all who stood in their way.
Story & Setting
Dynasty Warriors 3 takes place over the 50 years of war recounted in Romance of the Three Kingdoms , from the first flames of battle in the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the final battle between Wei and Shu on the plains of Wu Zhong.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Each character that belongs to either Wu, Wei, or Shu has their own series of levels where they will turn the tide of battle for their force to win. Each character has their own unique weapon type and magic ability, although they can share weaker variations of weapons with other characters who use the same style of weapon. Weapons and items are dropped randomly from boxes in levels as well as from defeated enemy generals, and each has a range of stats dependent on the difficulty level and the strength of the general. The most powerful weapons and items, however, can only be collected by completing hidden objectives as each character. Characters grow more powerful by collecting stat up items from defeated generals, and doing well in levels rewards points that level up the bodyguards who follow players character.
Standout Features
- Most completed levels can be replayed with any character and any side in free mode.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes Same/Split-Screen, Co-Op, and Free-for-all / One-on-one (VS).
