Dynasty Warriors 9 Combat Features
Burlingame, Calif. – June 22, in the year of our Lord
2017 – KOEI TECMO America today revealed exciting new
combat mechanics and exploration features slated to debut with
the upcoming installment in developer Omega Force’s long-running
action franchise, DYNASTY WARRIORS 9. An impressive new trailer
released alongside today’s announcement provides a closer look
at the beautifully rendered environments and dynamic combat
systems that players can look forward to.
DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 introduces exhilarating new combat mechanics
to the series’ signature “one versus thousands” style gameplay
with the State Combo System. This new system allows players to
perform 3 different attack styles – Trigger Attacks, Flow
Attacks and Finish Attacks – each dealing progressively more
damage. Trigger Attacks allow players to create the start of an
explosive combo, leading to Flow Attacks, which adapt to the
enemy’s current state. Successful combos allow for a Finish
Attack to be performed, delivering a final blow that eradicates
any foes caught in its path. These new enhancements aim to
create a thrilling and fluid experience unlike any previous
entry in the franchise.
Augmenting the series’ first true open world is another
immersive innovation introduced in DYNASTY WARRIORS 9: the
Interactive Action system. Players will be able to fully utilize
their surroundings for the first time in the Warriors franchise
with the ability to climb buildings and mountains, wield
grappling hooks to traverse walls, and make use of objects like
oil barrels in battle. These new actions offer a breadth of new
possibilities for players to take advantage of while travelling
around third-century China, or when caught in the heat of
battle!
Unifying the classic, time-tested action iconic to the Warriors
series with a variety of new features, characters and content in
an expansive open world environment, DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 aims to
deliver the most immersive and ambitious DYNASTY WARRIORS
experience to date.
