Characters gain more experience by defeating higher-levelled enemies, and the amount of experience gained is relative to the character's current level as well as the level defeated by enemies. Skill points may be invested in various skills according to the character's skill board, while experience is used to level up characters and unlock new attacks for characters to use. It is possible to have Synchro Attacks themselves refill the Synchro Gauge, and have multiple Synchro Attacks occur in a single turn.Ĭharacters gain experience and skill points after defeating enemies. Attacks also gradually fill up a Synchro Gauge, and, if characters are positioned in a prescribed fashion while the Synchro Gauge is full, they may perform a Synchro Attack, expending the Synchro Gauge and allowing all participants to move and attack again that turn, as well as replenish their energy points and deal devastating damage to distant opponents. All attacks gradually charge a player's Musou gauge, and a stock of Musou gauge is required in order to perform a Musou attack in addition to any energy costs. A character may make as many attacks as their energy points allow, and may attack in multiple different directions in the same turn. All characters will regain three energy points at the start of each turn. All attacks cost a specified amount of energy to use: each character begins the game with eight energy points, and may expend anywhere between one and five energy points to use an attack. Spirit type characters are dominant in spirit, and they regenerate health at the start of each turn.Įach character may make use of attacks to eliminate enemies from the map: each character may have up to four regular attacks (charge attacks from the main series games) among them being two EX attacks (selected charge attacks from the main series games which have an additional follow-up attack there), as well as three musou attacks.Speed type characters are dominant in agility, and they may ignore enemy zones of control – normally, each character projects a zone of control in the four spaces around them, restricting enemy movement.Technique type characters are dominant in dexterity, and their attacks have a greater chance of inflicting critical hits, which increase their damage output.

They do not, however, take reduced damage from ranged attacks. Defense type characters have the highest stat in defense, and they take reduced damage if they are attacked from the front or sides.Attack type characters have the highest stat in attack, which may grow further the more damage they take.All characters are divided into one of five types, which largely determine their dominant stat and special ability: Most maps are based on maps found in Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, with alterations to limit the size of the level and better fit the grid pattern.Įach character has six separate stats that determine their abilities in combat: attack, defense, dexterity (higher dexterity increase the odds of hitting enemies in attacks), agility (higher agility increase the odds of evading enemy attacks), spirit (attack power gains a bonus when fighting low-morale enemies), and mobility (governs number of spaces that a character may move per turn). (Compare to the standalone Empires games, which are turn-based strategy games that use the traditional hack and slash combat to resolve conflict.) Players control a team of up to five characters as they move across a grid, and attack enemy units in order to achieve some form of objective. The game was released on the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 video game consoles in the West, with a PlayStation 3 port existing only in Japan.ĭynasty Warriors: Godseekers, unlike the mainline Dynasty Warriors games, is a turn-based strategy game with no hack and slash combat. The game is a spinoff to the Dynasty Warriors series of video games that focuses less on action, and more strategy, similar to prior spinoff Dynasty Tactics. Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers is a tactical role-playing game developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo.
