The game allowed the player to choose 3 character teams, you played as one character at a time but could switch between characters at any time and even mid combo. The game also added many new gameplay mechanics and features. As mentioned above, the main draw of Warriors Orochi was it's large cast made up of Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors and other new characters. The game also came out on PSP, PC and Xbox 360 in Japan and overseas. Warriors Orochi launched in Japan on March 21st 2007 for the PlayStation 2. The series allows several cross-era relationships that previously had no chance of happening. Most of these characters are based on various books and legends, such as Journey to the West, Fengshen Yanyi and The Tale of the Heike. The Warriors Orochi series has added twenty five characters to the general Warriors series and redesigned two other warriors. They also broadened their range of characters by adding historical and mythical figures from time periods predating the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. However, due to the success and fan reaction of the first game, Koei made a series out of the concept. It was also meant to be a "wish fulfillment" production for both fans and developers alike.
