Shin Sangoku Musou Blast (真・三國無双ブラスト) is the third social game adaptation of the Dynasty Warriors series. It is free-to-play with micro-transactions available for orbs, which are used for the roulette for rare cards and other paid content. Music and sound effects are based on previous installments while visuals for the playable characters are from Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires.

Services ended on March 23, 2016 for the Japanese version and June 22, 2016 for international users.

Gameplay[]

Before beginning the game, players must choose between four characters as their initial avatar: Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Guan Yinping, or Zhu Ran. Xiahouji serves as the player's navigator outside of battle while Shuijing helps cover the combat aspects of the game.

The player is required to form a deck to complete various battles on a map. Team customization is limited to one slot for playable officers and three for supporting characters. Each battle depletes energy from the player avatar's energy gauge in order to start. An option of six random players can be chosen as partners and their support abilities can be set to healing or status buffs.

There are four battle types offered, each with their own set of scenarios. Update 1.1.4 adds new difficulty settings for the first two.

  • Battle Chapters (激闘篇) - Focuses on major battles from the main titles (e.g. Battle of Hulao Gate). Narratives are kept short and simple.
  • Legends (列伝) - Features character-exclusive stories. Obtaining a playable officer unlocks their particular scenario.
  • Special Chapters (篇特篇) - Time-limited battles that routinely change; monthly events have special rules and gimmicks to hinder participants. Costs high amounts of energy, but yields numerous rewards and awakens maxed-out characters.
  • Arena (闘技場) - Consists of solo challenges offering unique rewards. Extra rounds are permitted by spending orbs.
    • Team Brawl (対人軍団戦) - Allows players to battle each other's team for points used in obtaining gold coins. The amount of points earned are determined by the opponent's rank and average team level. Participation is limited to 3 matches per day.
    • 1,000-Li March (対人千里行) - Features a gauntlet of 10 rounds where equipment cards can be acquired. The difficulty level spikes as the player progresses while self-healing effects are nullified. Enemy officers are also given random buffs in higher tier areas. Participation is limited once per day.
    • Extreme Battle (極限戦) - Challenges players to defeat as many enemies as they can under 5 minutes to obtain Shuijing cards. The amount of cards received is based on the player's own KO tally. Participation is limited once per day.

Battles in Dynasty Warriors DS involve using a team to attack enemies while defending their main camp. Obstacles, hazardous weather conditions, and siege weapons can hinder participation. Players can attack or lock on opposing generals, perform Charge Attacks, and unleash special abilities like Musou. Geki Musou Ranbu is a once-per-battle attack, used in dire situations. Rewards for clearing stages are divided into common, rare, and very rare ranks, with high-quality prizes obtained by defeating enemy officers using Musou attacks or skills.

Later updates include a ranking system which hands out weekly rewards to players based on their overall performance in battle. The amount of points gained after winning is proportionate to the stage's own difficulty level. Those who can afford to fight more battles have a higher chance of obtaining better prizes.
