The Dynasty Warriors series started life over two decades ago as a one-on-one fighting game, but developers Omega Force quickly opted for a more hack-and-slash style in the sequel, and they never looked back. Its Japanese title is where the term 'Musou' comes from, meaning unrivaled, and has become synonymous with the overall genre. Musou games are known for their large-scale battles, fast-paced action, and array of playable characters.
