About Dynasty Warriors DS: Fighter’s Battle
It’s time to team up with the legendary Dynasty Warriors and save Ancient China. Rival kingdoms and hordes of rebel soldiers are on the attack. In the Tactical Action game, Dynasty Warriors DS: Fighter’s Battle, players must reunite a divided nation, but this is a challenge they will not face alone. History’s mightiest warriors are ready to join the battle. Plus, with the awesome Musou attack players will have the power to stop entire gangs of enemies in one sweeping strike! You won’t want to miss the action for all the tea in China!

In the game, players will take the role of one of three new characters, each with its own special attribute: the Phoenix (key attribute: balance), the Dragon (key attribute: speed), and the Chimera (key attribute: power). Using a “Battle Deck” of cards, players will select up to seven of the original Dynasty Warriors to serve as officers who will defend their bases.

A new “Obstacle Roulette System” lets players unleash tactics or spells using cards from the players’ Battle Deck. These Obstacle attacks can disrupt an opponent’s progress and are crucial to victory, especially in the game’s wireless Vs. mode!

Dynasty Warriors DS: Fighter’s Battle is available exclusively for the Nintendo DS. Wireless Vs. mode play is for up to 3 players. This game rated “E10+” (Everyone 10+ - Violence) by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board. Media can find screenshots and assets (watermark-free) at gamespress.com.
