Roles in Games
Xun Chen generally appears as one of Yuan Tan's or Yuan Xi's support units in the earlier Dynasty Warriors entries. In Dynasty Warriors 5 he is one of the many officers who rush fort Yanjin. In Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Xun Chen attempts to hold back the northern Wu fire attack at the hypothetical battle of Chibi, which sees Yuan Shao taking Cao Cao's place against Wu.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms games, Xun Chen is typically portrayed as an average governor, possessing low war and leadership stats but moderately high intelligence and political ability in the mid 70s range.

Historical Information
Xun Chen's exact date of birth is unknown’ but he is commonly considered the fourth younger brother of Xun Yu. The historicity of his service under Han Fu is debated, as his first of only two major mentions in history is when he, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping convinced Han Fu to yield Yi Province to Yuan Shao. Xun Chen joined in this debate to secure himself a position in Yuan Shao's court. A position he held until the battle of Guandu, where he disappears from history.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Xun Chen's appearance in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is largely identical to his historical appearances. The main difference is the added flair and drama to the discussions that Xun Chen partook. This is most especially shown when he and Xu You arrive during Yuan Shao's debate to engage in the campaign for Guandu. They both strongly advocate for battle, claiming Yuan's numbers are irresistible.
