Dynasty Warriors 7: Special (真・三國無双６ Special) is an updated PSP version of Dynasty Warriors 7. For Japan at least, the portable version marks the first time the game is playable on another console. The official Dynasty Warriors 7 Twitter remarked that Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends is the PS3 version of this game, even though the final version of Xtreme Legends received more new characters, stages and weapons.
Players who pre-order this game will receive a serial code for two exclusive colors (black and white) for Wang Yuanji. Gamecity is offering an exclusive character card and a downloadable serial code for a weapon in 100man-nin no Shin Sangoku Musou.
Changes/Additions[]
- The game is divided into two UMDs, one containing Wei and Jin's stories and Conquest Mode, and the other Shu and Wu's stories, with shared save data.
- Save data from the original game can be used in this version. This automatically unlocks all of the characters in the game.
- It's possible to play Story Mode with two players.
- Players can choose from characters they've already unlocked for each Story Mode stage. (i.e. Cao Pi in Yellow Turban Rebellion, etc.)
- Four man wireless play sessions in Conquest Mode are available. When four players play through the same stage, they can participate in a battle mode and compete for high scores.
- Earned currency can be used to buy items that boost a character's stats, which can be shared among the cast.
- The game has reduced graphics during battle, reduced draw distance, and removed swimming. Stage backdrops are mountains, and characters don't open their mouths during Musou attacks, despite the vocal track playing.
- Cutscenes don't go directly to a fight. There is now a fade in between the cutscene and the battle.
- The new characters and weapons appearing in Xtreme Legends will not be in this game.
- Downloadable content from the original appears to still be available in this version. Other downloadable content for this game will be available, but a majority of the exclusive items are only available using the Mobile Joy feature with 100man-nin no Shin Sangoku Musou. Over 250 objects are planned between the game and application, including rare weapons and items.
