Dynasty Warriors: Godseeker Slated For Western Release In Early 2017

Koei Tecmo has announced their T-RPG spin-off originally titled Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden (Japanese title) would be getting a western localization as Dynasty Warriors: Godseeker. The Dynasty Warriors brand has done exceeding well over the years. They’ve taken steps to diversify the franchise with games like this. I played the demo for the game that was released on the Japanese PSN store. The game is an interesting take on the Dynasty Warriors formula. Official Synopsis:

“Featuring a wide selection of beloved characters from the Dynasty Warriors universe, Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers will add two new characters to the series’ ever-growing roster: Lixia, a girl with magical powers that was sealed in an icy shrine for centuries, and Lei Bin, Zhao Yun’s childhood friend and avid lore master! Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers unfolds during the chaotic end days of the Han dynasty, when ancient China was overwhelmed by uprisings and internal strife within its imperial court. The story follows renowned warrior Zhao Yun and his close friend Lei Bin, who unwittingly liberate a young girl, Lixia, from a mystical prison. The two friends and the mysterious Lixia then find themselves entangled in a pivotal struggle for the salvation of the world, wherein they must navigate the maelstrom that is Three Kingdoms era China, meet countless great warriors and take part in historic battles. In their efforts to unravel the mystery behind Lixia’s imprisonment, Zhao Yun and Lei Bin uncover a hidden, terrible fate, forcing them to make difficult decisions in a battle that will echo throughout history.”

People who enjoy the Dynasty Warriors story but long for a more strategic and challenging gameplay experience, this is the title to get. The game will be available in the west on February 1st, 2017 as a digital-only release on PSN. Take a look at the two of gameplay trailers below:
