The Warriors Orochi series is a sub-branch of Koei’s larger Musou franchise. It is a series that serves as a crossover that unites the casts of the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series in entirely original scenarios. The primary antagonist of the series is Orochi, a demonic being that uses his powers to pull Three Kingdoms-era China and Warring States-era Japan together into one realm so that he may do battle with the greatest warriors of both ages. In Warriors Orochi 3, the crossover concept has been expanded to include figures from outside the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors series, and is set to include figures from games such as Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, Bladestorm: The Hundred Years’ War, and Warriors: Legends of Troy.
The evil Orochi warps time and space, pulling the greatest warriors of Three Kingdoms China and Warring States Japan to battle for his amusement. This crossover game features most of the playable characters from Dynasty Warriors 1-5 and Samurai Warriors 1 & 2. Warriors Orochi is a hack and slash video game developed by Koei and Omega Force.

Developer: Koei / Omega Force
Publisher: Koei Tecmo
Genre: Action / Role-Playing
Theme: Alternate Historical
Franchises: Dynasty Warriors / Musou
Also known as: Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce 2 / Shin Sangoku Musou: Multi Raid 2 HD Version
Adaptation: Crossover
Summary:
Like its predecessor, this is a multiplayer-based game drawing from the Dynasty Warriors series, with significant changes to "musou awakening" or fury modes, and aerial combat. Rather than following the battles between the three nations of Shu, Wu, and Wei, the story of this version revolves around the resurrection of the first Qin emperor.
Like Strikeforce Special, officer cards can be applied to city and fields for player benefit, as well as the ability to bring AI officers as help in single player. Players can now create quests, this and general participation with other players creates "community points", leading to acquisition of rare items.
