25th October 2005:
More Dynasty announced
Koei announce the follow up on the success of the fifth installment of their Dynasty Warriors series with Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends.
Posted by John Grothier - PlayStation 2 - UK and Europe

Koei promise that this will be a game that expands on everything that made Dynasty Warriors 5 such a success. Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends for the PlayStation 2 offers 5 different play modes, 18 new maps and untold stories in Legend mode, new rare items and power ups, an additional novice difficulty level, and 2 player co-op play in Xtreme mode. It also enables players of Dynasty Warriors 5 to remix their DW5 experience by adding new Xtreme Legends features to DW5's Musou Mode and Free Mode.

In the series' first-ever Destiny mode, your ultimate goal is to become the commander of an entire army. First, you'll create your own character that will start out as a foot soldier with limited fighting abilities. As you work your way up the ranks, you'll gain new fighting, strategy, and leadership abilities. Destiny mode gives you an unmatched level of control over your character by letting you choose which kingdom to defend and which officer to serve. Have you become disillusioned with a kingdom's leadership? Switch allegiance to another kingdom or officer!

In battle, you'll build a reputation among the legendary generals. For example, Xiahou Dun could invite you to join him. By siding with him, you may stand to gain new skills and even a promotion. It's up to you to accept or refuse.

Xtreme mode challenges you to clear as many missions as possible. Unlike the game's other modes, your character will not recover at the end of each stage. You must heal yourself and improve your abilities by purchasing items in between stages. In Xtreme mode, you won't just fight. You must recruit new officers, expand your territory, and control the economy. You can have up to six officers at your service (three more officers than in DW4XL), and take up to three of them into battle. It's also up to you to control the economy of items by expanding the reach of your kingdom. You can even collect taxes to improve your wealth. Your deeds and the items you receive in Legend and Destiny modes are converted into currency, which can be used to purchase items in Xtreme mode.

In Legend mode, you'll uncover 18 all-new maps with historical and fictional scenarios. Historical scenarios include the Battle of Yang Ping Gate, the first showdown between the Kingdoms of Wei and Shu at the Battle of Han Shui, and Cao Cao's attempt to capture Emperor Xian. As you clear each scenario, you'll learn more about the relationships between characters as each character explains his or her point of view.

More - as we get it.
