Warriors Orochi

=Overview= Warriors (Musou) Orochi is a cross-over game created by Koei in which the Dynasty Warriors game series and Samurai Warriors series are combined. The game introduces 2 new characters - Orochi and Da Ji. Another new feature is the ability to form a party of 3 characters in your story or any characters in Free Mode. Each character in Warriors Orochi is divided into three different categories: Speed, Technique, and Power. Each type has it pros and cons in the party depending on the battle at hand. The Game has since been made for the PC, PSP, and Xbox 360.

During story mode, you choose one of four forces, them being Shu, Wei, Wu, and the new Samurai stories. Each has it's own story, eventually having to join with other forces for the ultimate battle at Koshi Castle defeating the Serpent King, Orochi.

After completing a Story Mode, you may play the story with any character you have unlocked, like in Free Mode. Free Mode in Warriors Orochi works the same way that every other Warriors game works. You may use any character that you have unlocked in each of the story modes to form your dream party and take on any stage you have unlocked in the story modes as well.

Wu
For the kingdom of Wu, Orochi blackmails the Sun family into servitude with the life of Sun Ce's father Sun Jian's life as the consequence. As a "reward" of sorts, every time Sun Ce turns a rebellion leader to Orochi, he releases one of his hostages. The first to rebel, Sun Ce encounters more conflict in the form of his disapproving siblings, who think that he is acting selfish, forgetting the price of disobeying Orochi. During the later course of the story, Sun Ce is attacked by his brother, Sun Quan, who repeatedly fails. For this, he and Sun Jian are designated for execution at Komaki-Nagakute, though Sun Ce successfully rescues them. In the story, fortunately, after reuniting, the Sun family leads Wu to defeat Orochi.

Samurai
Here, the three major daimyo Nobunaga Oda, Shingen Takeda, and Kenshin Uesugi each maintain a resistance force against Orochi but refuse to work with each other. Each daimyo, instead of focusing on combining to defeat Orochi focus on gaining more people for their resistances to make themselves more powerful. Throughout the story, Nobunaga predicts the future, making intricate plans that foresee and takes action with Cao Pi's betrayal of Orochi, and sending Sakon Shima to help Wu. Eventually, the three daimyo ally together to defeat Orochi.
