About Warriors Orochi for PSP
Warriors Orochi for PSP boasts the massive seamless battlefields of the console
versions, while previous games in the series for handheld platforms had combat
taking place on battlefields divided into smaller "cells". The handheld release
includes all 79 playable characters, and features 2-player co-op play via
wireless (ad-hoc).

About Warriors Orochi Without
warning, the venomous Serpent King Orochi descended from the heavens. Using his
unworldly powers to shatter time and space, Orochi kidnapped the strongest,
wisest and most courageous warriors from Ancient China and Feudal Japan in a
scheme to test his might against the heroes of these ages.

In Warriors Orochi the characters
from both the Dynasty Warriors® and Samurai Warriors® franchises must team-up to
wage war against this new, yet powerful force. The game boasts an amazing roster
of 79 playable characters, while four action-packed "crossover" storylines
feature amazing team-ups and some long-awaited confrontations between characters
from both series.

The game’s new "Team Battle System"
and "Weapon Fusion" push Tactical Action to a whole new level. For the first
time in KOEI’s Tactical Action games, players can create their own three-person
tag team. At any given time, one warrior will be engaged in battle, while the
other two are recuperating; restoring their Life Meters and Musou Gauges. Every
character is categorized according to offensive ability, and with new fighting
techniques, it’s up to the player to find the most lethal combination of
warriors. "Weapon Fusion" lets players combine the attributes from different
weapons for more devastating results.

This game is rated "T" (Teen- Mild
Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, and Violence) by the ESRB. Warriors Orochi for
PSP is developed by KOEI CANADA, based on an original work by Omega Force.
