Dynasty Warriors[a] is a weapon-based fighting video game developed by Omega Force[2] and published by Koei. It was released in 1997 for the PlayStation for all territories. Unlike the later installments in the series which are hack and slash, Dynasty Warriors is a "one-on-one" fighting game.

Contemporary gaming journalists noted Dynasty Warriors for being a startling departure from the strategy games that Koei was known for.[3][4] Upon release, it was greeted as a success in this regard by most critics.
