Musou Orochi

A purple vortex in the sky is the last thing the heroes of Sangoku Musou and Sengoku Musou witness before being transported into an epic battle royale. A scaly lord named Orochi has split the fabric of time and space which accidentally brings the heroes together and ultimately lays the foundation that seals its doom. Before that happens however, players choose a team from four clans that are selectable at the outset of the game and clash through military campaigns where entire armies are slaughtered.
Musou Orochi represents the first time that warriors from both of Koei's popular Musou series have clashed and collaborated. The commingling of Japanese and Chinese generals + heroes makes for interesting scenarios and sets up toothsome "What If" scenarios.
Two main game modes are featured: STORY MODE and FREE MODE. The latter allows players to select stages while the former gives players control of three heroes and their armies. Once the game starts, players maneuver a hero that rushes into war against other armies with the ultimate goal of defeating Orochi. To switch from hero to hero, tap the L1 or L2 triggers and the swaps are performed on the fly in fluid fashion. The action runs fast and the enemy forces are fairly aggressive in their attacks. «more»
