Koei's latest action hit goes old school

Koei's most recent action game in the Dynasty Warriors franchise will make its way to PlayStation 2 consoles and PC systems too, following a successful release earlier this year on PS3 and Xbox 360. With these two new versions in sight, scheduled for a release on the 18th of November, Koei's game will certainly gain some extra exposure and please its more old school fans. It's worth noting that the PC version will only be available as a digital download.

In Dynasty Warriors 6, the characters have been completely revamped, new moves and weapons have been added and some of the best stunt men and women in Asia had their moves captured for a bit of extra realism. With the game's new "Renbu" attack system and game controls, players can execute lightning-fast combos and the most dazzling fighting moves with ease and become real Dynasty Warriors.

Also, the game's engine was updated to rise to the standards of the next-gen gaming systems. Players can use the landscape to escape and defeat the thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, and as they move and attack, adaptable enemy A.I. devises offensive and defensive combat tactics, and can retaliate with packs of fierce dogs and patrol boats. A great action experience, perfect for your button mashing desire.

If you do not have the current-gen console version and plan to get the PC one, you are probably wondering if you have a gaming system powerful enough to run the game. You probably do, since the recommended system specs are not that high: Intel Core 2Duo 2.4GHz, Windows XP/Vista, 512MB, 5GB or more of free space, 1280?720 True Color enabled, 16:9 display and a 3D Accelerator with Hardware T&L and Pixel Shading supporting 128MB or more of VRAM.
