The first Dynasty Warriors on PS1, a 3D fighting game very different from its musou successors. Offers weapon duels based on the Chinese Three Kingdoms with more classical arena gameplay. Historically interesting for understanding the series' evolution toward mass hack-and-slash.

Is Dynasty Warriors still worth playing in 2026?

The first entry in Omega Force's series, Dynasty Warriors here offers a one on one arena fighting game inspired by the Three Kingdoms, well before the sequel's musou turn. The 3D weapon duels, the roster of Chinese generals and the epic staging lay the franchise's foundations. The stiff 3D and a combat system limited against the genre's references have aged. A historical curiosity for fans of the saga wanting to discover its origin and lovers of Three Kingdoms history.
