DYNASTY WARRIORS: Strikeforce takes place in a mystic version of ancient China where warriors possess the power of 'Fury'. This power gives them superhuman strength, lightning fast speed and the ability to fly. Taking the role of any one of over 40 playable characters, up to four friends can go online to launch raids as a team or battle it out competitively. Using voice or text chat to coordinate assaults, players will go on campaigns to infiltrate heavily-armed enemy strongholds, clash with thousand-man armies, or to slay dragons and other massive beasts. In single-player mode, players have the option to choose and command up to three AI-controlled officers to join them in offline missions. KOEI is introducing several new game elements exclusive to the console version of DYNASTY WARRIORS: Strikeforce including over 40 console-exclusive missions, command of up to three AI-controlled officers, an enemy 'Hyperbreak' gauge, the ability to plan special combat tactics, new playable character 'Meng Huo', and online officer trading.
