Dynasty Warriors 9 places players on a mission to conquer ancient China through swordplay and strategic combat. Capable sieges allow commanders to deploy units to capture strategic points on the map, such as castles. Combining the classic and proven action of previous games, we delve into the Warriors series, Dynasty Warriors 9 brings a variety of new features and characters.
