Apparently in development since last year, Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden has been revealed overnight. Not quite Dynasty Warriors 9, Eiketsuden is Omega Force's first stab at a strategy role-playing game, where units move on a grid and you follow a plot that features fantasy elements. Dynasty Warriors poster boy Zhao Yun is the main character.
According to a load of information translated by Gematsu, the title mixes in elements from the main hack and slash series. You only control one commanding unit, for example, while the artificial intelligence handles your allies. What's more, when combat occurs, proceedings switch to action scenes, but it sounds as though you won't have any direct control over your character during this time. The game's supposedly 70 per cent complete, and will launch in Japan later this year.
Would you like to see this one come West? Await the inevitable announcement trailer in the comments section below.

Is exciting news I love a good Japanese strategy game especially in the same room as Dynasty Warriors nice change-of-pace hopefully this will come stateside.
Definitely sounds more my style.
Well it looks like a game I would play.It must be better than Fates.
Fantastic! Dynasty Tactics 2 was one of my all-time favourite ps2 games, and I think it shows they know how to make a strategy game! Can't wait for this

Yah, I don't really like the sound of that either.. But I'm still kinda curious to see how this would turn out. I love me some Fire Emblem and turn-based strategy games in general
Hmm... I could possibly dig this.
Yeah! I love strategy games! Yeah! That said AI commanding the allies is bad =/
Sounds rubbish.
There's only one Musuo game you need;
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3.
I'd grab it as long as it doesn't have permadeath, all it does is cause save scumming.
AI-controlled allies steal experience points from my characters and totally ruin the strategy experience! They must be stopped!
