The hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors series makes its first appearance on PlayStation Vita with four-player cooperative support and all-new features designed for the handheld. Take control of one of several generals in Ancient China as you battle enemy soldiers across four modes of play. The game supports the handheld's touch pad and sensor for initiating combos and powerful "musou" attacks. While the action is similar to previous iterations in the series, the handheld version offers interactive sequences such as sudden attacks, which require you to quickly react to oncoming assaults by using the touch pad, and one-on-one duels, which bring the camera closer to the action as you focus on defeating your opponent. Cooperative and competitive multiplayer types are also supported via Ad-hoc, Wi-Fi, or 3G connections.
