...Again, the success of Warriors Orochi came as little surprise, selling more than 1.5 million units worldwide on various platforms, and the announcement of a sequel was inevitable. Warriors Orochi 2 will be available in Europe on Friday, 19th September 2008, and brings some new additions to the well-trodden formula.

Continuing to use the Legacy Musou Engine, as opposed to the Current-Generation build of Dynasty Warriors 6, the combat in the Warriors Orochi releases feels very similar to previous Koei offerings; controlling a single commander, the player traverses a number of Maps to complete varying objectives and submissions whilst battling hundreds of on-screen foes. The key element to the Warriors Orochi series, however, is that the player can choose up to three commanders to switch between at any point during play.
