Dynasty Warriors

Dynasty Warriors is a weapon-based fighting video game. Unlike the later installments in the series which are hack and slash, Dynasty Warriors is a "one-on-one" fighting game. All combat is weapon-based, similar to the Soulcalibur series. Rather than having a single all-purpose block button, as in most fighting games, the player must parry the enemy's strikes by executing their own attack at the same height with the correct timing, leaving the enemy vulnerable to attack.
