Dynasty Warriors 6was supposed to be the current-gen debut for the series, yet it was thePS2version of the game,Dynasty Warriors 6: Special, that was infinitely superior. This was mostly thanks to Koei de-cloning a number of characters and giving them unique weapons, such as Zhang He’s claws, Taishi Ci’s beatin’ sticks and Cao Pi’s sword. It was a strange move, but at least it now meansDynasty Warriors 6is heading to the PSP.
The superior version ofDW6will arrive in portable form with a number of brand new features, includingEmpires’Meng Huo as a playable character, new costumes and the ability to do “Air Musou” attacks.Koei Warriorsalso says that “six new de-clones” will be available, but it’s unclear if they just mean the originalSpecialde-clones, or if six brand new movesets are being introduced for the PSP version.
Dynasty Warriorsgames seem to work really well on the PSP, not just because the hack n’ slash simplicity seems better suited to portable gaming, but also because Koei does an amazing job of fitting a huge amount of content onto one little UMD. This should be a good time.
