Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires (真・三國無双6 Empires, Shin Sangoku Musou 6: Empires) is the Empires adaptation of Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends. The theme of this title is "lifestyle", in which the developers claim that players can experience an in-depth political and tactical system. The producer replies that this game is being brought overseas primarily for the fans who still enjoy the basic Warriors format. He believes the open system of choice has a chance of appealing to a wider audience.

Consumers who pre-order the title can obtain three downloadable outfits for edit characters.

This game will only be available via download in North America, being a total of 7.9GB, while other regions are planned to have it as retail. This is most likely due to the lack of English dubbing in the game.

Gameplay[]

  • Items and the Morale Bar in battle return. Executions also make a comeback. The amount of Musou gained from attacks has been considerably reduced. Character introduction cutscenes return and are exclusive to select characters: Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Xiahou Ba, Lu Bu, and Meng Huo.
  • The dual weapon system return with Dynasty Warriors Next weapon changes in effect. The previously downloadable weapons and additional new weapons are now assigned to certain characters. Weapons that had gender restrictions are removed, and Warriors Orochi 3 jumping charges are not in the game. All weapon movesets are completely unlocked at the start.
  • In Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3, defeated players and characters can re-spawn, while officers can be killed after injuries, reducing their power and speed proficiency.
  • Each character can use their own special skill in battle, which varies with each individual. Similar to Pokémon Conquest, the unique playable cast will have their individual skills separate from the shared ones.
  • Strategies that can be used in combat include water attacks, fire attacks, combining tactics, falling boulders, and so on. A special splash screen a la Sangokushi 12 is triggered when they are initiated in battle. Other tactics are also available during the politic phase.
  • Fame parameters, Brave, Wise, Kind, Affluent, Orderly, and Evil, can be enhanced by a character's battle tactics and environment-based advantage.
    • Fame can alter character missions and attitudes during pre-planning stages, creating interpretations not found in main installments. Players can create Kind or Evil dominants, affecting common folk or people.
  • There are over eight new types of bases available in the game.
  • New battle maps for regions (such as Xiapi, Huiji, and Xiangyang) have been added.

A Facebook and Twitter campaign for naming edit characters was held in mid June through mid July. Interested fans were asked to send in their favored name for a particular character theme: lord, female, warrior, and strategist. The names were limited to figures who existed in the Three Kingdoms era but lack a unique appearance in the series. A single vote was counted every 24 hours per account, thus resulting in a possible two votes per day for simultaneous Facebook and Twitter users. The winning names will be used for the character in the game and winning fans will be credited in the game's staffroll.

The polls closed on July 17, 2012. The warlord and female winning names were announced on the 19th; the warrior and strategist winners were on the 26th.

Players who downloaded the Japanese trial version of the game's Edit Mode can participate in an edit character campaign. They must register themselves and their created character, and the winning character will be showcased on Twitter and as a pre-made edit character in the final game.

RADIO 4Gamer featured this game for their November 8th episode. Visitors with a Niconico Douga account can log-in and watch their recorded gameplay footage for the episode.

Consumers of this game can obtain Xu Shu and Wang Yuanji capes for their avatars in Shin Sangoku Musou SLASH. Players can input their Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires serial code once services for the social game begins.

There are two main collaboration third-party projects that will be available as downloadable content. The first is one with Minna to Isshou. The other includes character parts designed by Hiromu Arakawa who illustrated the Three Kingdoms comics recently published by Koei-Tecmo, Sangokushi Spirits.
