 PSP Kingdom: Ikkitousen no Ken - New Japanese Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The Kingdom (キングダム) manga by Yasuhisa Hara follows the bloody adventures of a young orphan named Shin who aspires to become a general in wartime China. Shin's plans take place against the backdrop of the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history when the empires of Shu, Wei, and Wu were in conflict.

   The armies of the Three Kingdoms are on the march and fearsome bloodshed is about to erupt . Players take on the role of Shin and his ragtag cohorts where they battle enemies by themselves but on some stages, the active hero also leads a small gang of warriors who mimic his every move and slash at enemies in concert. In one special attack, they'll all leap up into the air and then hammer downwards to damage any enemy in the local area who's within the radius of their ground impact. Additional special attacks including a whirling attack, a rushing dash move which mows down anyone in the team's path, and angry berserker attacks.

   While the protagonist's team has a bunch of tricks in their offensive repertoire, the enemy isn't without their tactics either. Multiple enemy soldiers can link up together by holding each other's limbs to create a weird "human" giant who swings and attacks as one cohesive attack unit. In addition to single-player mode, the game also supports a 3-player mode where participants engage in multiplayer missions that were tailored for multiplayer action.
