Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends

From Koei Tecmo Wiki

Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends (真・三國無双4 猛将伝, Shin Sangokumusou 4 Moushouden; lit. "True Three Kingdoms Unmatched 4: Fierce General Legends") is the Xtreme Legends version of Dynasty Warriors 5.

Changes

  • Flinching time for both the AI and the player has significantly increased, allowing whatever previously slow attacks to finally be fast enough to be unblockable, such as various endings of grounded musous, and various charge attacks. Stunning attacks have been adjusted for some characters' attacks, such as Lu Xun's Musou, Wei Yan's entire Square string, and Xu Huang's C3.
  • Any character with a heavy weapon will be immune to flinching to normal attacks while they themselves are attacking. This is more beneficial to characters with heavy 4th weapons, even more so to Da Qiao.
  • Seven new items are introduced.
  • The new Edit Mode allows players to equip any character's weapon to the newly created edit character.
  • There are two additional challenge modes.
  • A new Power-Up option is added to the Camp section. This feature lets players upgrade first to third weapons by means of consuming various stat-raising books, giving them the potential to match or surpass the power of fourth weapons.
  • Players can download Dynasty Warriors 5 content with load original function. Edit characters can also be used in Free Mode when the original game is imported.

Modes

Legend Mode

Returns from the previous Xtreme Legends title.

Xtreme Mode

Similar to its predecessor, but with additional changes and rules.

Destiny Mode

This mode allows the players' created characters to serve under the main playable cast. Players are initially allowed to choose from one of three weapons: pike, spear, and sword and gain access to more by doing well in a mission and killing supply captains.

Characters can also obtain points for gaining new skills by completing optional objectives that vary for each stage. Since the time frame for this mode is much shorter than in Musou and Free Mode, players are encouraged to be flexible with their goals and objectives.

Challenge Mode

Remains the same, but the modes have changed their locations and BGM's; new 2 modes have been added:

  • Time Attack/Shinsoku - Takes place within He Fei (New) Castle's central northern palace grounds area.
  • Gatekeeper, AKA Kenshu (堅守; lit. Tight Defense) - Within Si Shui Gate's main camp, stall any enemies from storming the area by preventing messengers from escaping, as they will call upon extra enemy officers.
  • Speed Strike, AKA Kyūshū (急襲; lit. Sudden Raid) - A reprisal of the Demotion/Destruction challenge, start in the northern part of a specialized map in the sunset containing 3 total attack bases and a supply base in the south, with the main objective being defeat all enemy units + generals + objects + siege weapons as fast as you can within the time limit.
  • Rampage/Bōfū - Now takes place in a singular castle fort in the night with only one southern gate fully closed, and a few picket fences around in a different formation than at Nan An.
  • Sudden Death/Seikan - Takes place instead within the entirety of Bai Di Castle's Stone Sentinel Maze/Stone Soldier Eight Array, with all exits fully sealed (and the special destructible statue from the original stage not present).
  • Bridge Melee/Ryūsei - Takes place within the same map as before, only at sunset/dawn.
