Changes: Warriors Orochi (series)

Latest revision as of 12:33, 10 January 2023

Warriors Orochi (無双OROCHI, Musou OROCHI) is a crossover series fusing the worlds of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors. Originally, the game Warriors Orochi was supposed to be a parting game for current-gen consoles, namely the PlayStation 2. It was also meant to be a "wish fulfillment" production for both fans and developers alike.

However, due to the success and fan reaction of the first game, Koei made a series out of the concept. They also broadened their range of characters by adding historical and mythical figures from time periods predating the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series.

The Japanese narration for the series is done by Ryōichi Tanaka.

Characters

In all games prior to the latest installment Dynasty Warriors characters use their Dynasty Warriors 5 looks and the Samurai Warriors characters mainly use their Samurai Warriors 2 appearance (excluding characters cut in this title). Warriors Orochi 3 uses their character models from Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires and Samurai Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends. In Warriors Orochi 4, All characters use their models from Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires and Samurai Warriors 4-II.

The Warriors Orochi series has added twenty five characters to the general Warriors series and redesigned two other warriors. Most of these characters are based on various books and legends, such as Journey to the West, Fengshen Yanyi, and The Tale of the Heike. The series allows several cross-era relationships that previously had no chance of happening.

This character list merges the re-releases of particular games together.

Most of these original and guest characters are labeled as "Other" until 4.

Characters that debuted in Warriors Orochi 2 are merged with the first Warriors Orochi due to the Japanese title of Warriors Orochi 2 being called Musou Orochi: Maou Sairin.
