Samurai Warriors: State of War PSP

Samurai Warriors: State of War is another game in the saga of the Far East corporation Koei. The company is known mainly for its electronic-entertainment series (including Dynasty Warriors and Romance of the Three Kingdoms), alluding to the history of China. The product also refers to the real events of the past, namely the so-called Sengoku period (literally 'country in war'), i.e. the Japanese civil wars of 1467-1615.

We are dealing here with a peculiar virtual fight in which we take control of the character of an adventurer, participating in huge military clashes. Of course, the hero controlled by us has a number of different offensive tools of a conventional character (e.g. samurai swords) and less realistic warfare agents in the form of magic spells (more than twenty different types of spells, written on special coils). Each skirmish starts with a tactical map with a lot of individual fights to be fought. We must therefore act in such a way as to carry out the tasks assigned to a specific mission - such as cutting out all opponents in the trunk or just paving the way for the sensitive commander and killing him.

Developers have prepared not only an extended single-player game mode, but also a multiplayer option, functioning through a wireless connection in Wi-Fi standard. The maximum number of volunteers is four, and the appearance of boredom effectively prevents the presence of a variety of different variants of group entertainment (fight in the classic system each for each, winning gold, etc.). In addition, the implementation of numerous bonuses (e.g. hidden characters and additional weapons), which can be unlocked thanks to the successes achieved in virtual reality, has not been forgotten.
