Historical setting

Dynasty Warriors

Historical setting

The first Dynasty Warriors is a 3D one-on-one fighting game for PlayStation featuring warriors from China's Three Kingdoms era. It draws on Koei's historical setting but is not yet the mass-battle hack-and-slash of its sequels.

You fight your way through feudal Japan as a lone martial artist to rescue Mariko from the warlord Akuma. This remake brings the 1984 classic into modern visuals, built around direct, timing-based fights and a stripped-down, focused feel.

Fighting Force 2

Realistic visuals

Fighting Force 2 is a 3D action game from Core Design in which a lone operative fights and shoots through a sci-fi conspiracy. Unlike its brawler predecessor, it leans more on adventure and stealth elements than on pure beat 'em up combat.
