Changes From Other Dynasty Warriors Games
Players progress to an adjacent point or into buildings housing the enemy general protecting the defense point in that particular map. However if the point contains a defense point, rations store or weapons store owned by the player, movement in and out of the point is unrestricted.

Ration stores and weapon stores begin as 'neutral' at the start of the battle, and can be claimed by either party. Claiming ownership of a rations store and weapon store increases the size and improves the fighting abilities of the owner's army respectively. Once claimed, an allied warrior in the deck will be summoned to protect the store, which can still be taken over by the other force.

Also featured is terrains with effects. For example, poisonous puddles reduce the HP of whoever steps on it, frozen grounds causes sliding, rocking ships disrupts normal movement and so on.

Characters
The Playable Characters composed of three characters, based on the Mythical Beasts of Ancient China. As the player chooses his character, one of the two not chosen will become the rival throughout the whole game.

Phoenix (Suzaku / 朱雀): (Balanced Character) He wields a Broadsword, accompanied by a fighting gauntlet. He fights under the Crimson Banner.

Dragon (Seiiru / 青龍): (Speed Character) He wields a sheathed sword and fights under the Azure Banner.

Chimera (Genbu / 玄武): (Strength Character) He wields a giant hammer and fights under the Golden Banner.

The main DW characters often appear as bodyguards through the means of collecting cards. Some of the cards with the character's name often appear as generic officers, even if they have their own unique character design in the original console game. There are many generic officers in the cards as well in the appearance of "Commander", "Strategist", and "General" Cards.

The Character Designs are modeled after Dynasty Warriors 5 recreated in a cartoon-like style.(Although Zhang He is redesigned in this game to have butterfly wings.)
