Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires

04 About Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires

Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is an action, simulation, and strategy game developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo Games. Released for Nintendo Switch on February 15, 2022, it places players in a war-torn ancient China where the goal is to bring the land under one banner.

Rather than following a single fixed narrative, each campaign centers on a chosen historical officer or a custom-created character. Decisions involving warfare, politics, alliances, and personal connections influence the course of an individual conquest.

Action and strategy

The game combines the series’ large-scale hack-and-slash combat with empire management. Players plan expansion from the strategic map, oversee their territories, and enter real-time battles against large groups of enemies. Success requires both battlefield strength and careful choices between conflicts.

Conquest and castle battles

Campaigns involve developing forces and resources, recruiting officers, monitoring rival factions, and using diplomacy to manage threats. Players can attack enemy castles, strengthen their own defenses, and employ Secret Plans during battles to create tactical opportunities.

Build an officer’s legacy

Custom officer creation includes appearance and skill options, while relationships with other officers form another part of the campaign. Alliances and rivalries can shape political progress, and officers may develop close bonds, marry, and have children.

Release details

Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires supports English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish language options. It was released in Europe and the USA for Nintendo Switch.
