Koei announced that Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce is ready for a North American release. The game was launched in Japan at the end of February and it has been tremendously well-taken there. It is also expected to be available across Europe starting from May 1, 2009. We had also reported on Gundam 2 recently, a game by Koei.
The Dynasty Warriors series has become famous for its style of throwing a lone warrior into battle against large armies. The game is said to transform the Dynasty Warriors series into a multiplayer experience for the PSP system. The game lets up to four players join in via the ad-hoc mode on the PSP. Players must voyage through towns and defeat end-level bosses. The enemies in this game have more powerful attacks and higher levels of intelligence which makes it crucial to play as a team.
Characters in the game achieve improved supernatural abilities with new “Fury” transformations. These abilities include super speed and flying capabilities. Also, Koei is working to bring additional content later in the year for Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, which is going to be free of charge, exclusively via the PlayStation Store.
Gamers can pre-order Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce now at GameStop, Game Crazy, Amazon and GameFly while the game is scheduled to be released the week of April 28, 2009. The action game, developed by Omega Force, is for one to four players and is expected to be priced at around 39.99 USD (approx. Rs. 2,065).
