Shin Sangoku Musou SLASH (真・三國無双 SLASH) is a social game spin-off of Dynasty Warriors 7. Designed to be a faithful adaptation of the series, it eschews the card-based format seen in most mobile titles at the time.

Gameplay[]
Upon starting the game, a customized avatar must be created before joining Wei, Wu, or Shu. Once a side has been selected, the player will receive their first weapon (a sword) and be allowed to participate in regional battles to unify the land.
The game features AI-controlled partners, allowing players to interact with the touchscreen and perform various actions. Battles are scaled down to minor skirmishes, with objectives including defeating enemies or generals. Winning battles and cooperating with friends earn experience, SLASH points, and influence. Players can resume battles by consuming meat buns or Chinese plums. Orbs are limited to fire, ice, and lightning, and micro-transactions are done at the marketplace. Players can customize their avatar's appearance and stats with equipment, acquired through gacha and time-limited events.
Expansion[]
Shin Sangoku Musou SLASH PLUS, an enhanced version, was released on May 28, 2014, featuring a virtual controller and a trivia quiz on the novel.
