Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers

Shin Sangoku Musou Eiketsuden (真・三國無双 英傑伝) is a spin-off Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires game with Zhao Yun as the main protagonist. Similar to the Eiketsuden series, the player takes part in a Romance of the Three Kingdoms-heavy fantasy narrative and are expected to scout for their army.

Akihiro Suzuki is general producer and Atsushi Miyauchi is director and producer. Its production is Omega Force's desire to tell a compelling romantic story for the series under a new genre. It is currently 70% complete.

Gameplay
The overall game presentation combines elements from the Eiketsuden series and Fengshen Yanyi 2.

On the world map screen, players can shop for items and weapons, adjust character parameters, and leisurely visit marked locations. Each place represents story related content or Warriors-like free battles. Certain battles may have special conditions like a limited turn count.

Potential party members can be found and recruited; conversation events unique to this game are included. Characters can learn EX attacks to heighten their battle capabilities and skills to broaden their character parameters. During certain parts of the story, Lixia can employ offensive tactics by acquiring magic gems.

Battles are turn-based and units are placed on an isometric square grid. Each movement and action has an action point cost to limit their capabilities per turn. Unit positioning and weapon range dictate the effectiveness of a character's attack. When two opposing units clash, the action shifts to a short Warriors-like sequence. Like Dynasty Tactics, characters can potentially chain officer skills with ally units and perform lengthy combos.

Since Zhao Yun is the game's focal character, Shu will be the center of attention. Not every Dynasty Warriors character will be returning for this game.
