Hack-and-slash set in ancient China with dozens of playable historical characters. Snappy gameplay and epic staging are the salt of the series. Some repetition but the fun is still there.

Collector interest

Shin Sangoku Musou 4, the Japanese version of the Dynasty Warriors that pushes Koei's one-versus-thousand with a crowded roster and massive battles, on a region-locked console. This local pressing appeals to those collecting the Musou line at its Japanese source, in its original packaging. Its interest lies in this de facto regional exclusivity and a thinner local run rather than sharp scarcity.
