DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires adds tactical and strategic war elements to the 1 vs. 1,000 action of KOEI TECMO's revered DYNASTY WARRIORS series, enabling gamers to take to the battlefield and find success with not only the sword but through a robust political system in their attempts to conquer Ancient China. The game features scenarios that transport gamers to different periods, enabling them to play through historic moments like the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Battle of Chibi. But just because you're playing through historic periods, doesn't mean you need to follow history in order to be successful. Re-write your own history of the Three Kingdoms in ways you've never imagined, like unifying China with all officers from Wu still alive, or by assembling your favourite officers into one command, or even by sparking a rebellion to take control of the map!
