What kind of game is it?
Unlike numbering, you operate an original character as the main character. The Mushaku element of Ikki Tosen has been significantly powered up. The game follows the same flow of choosing a stage as a battlefield, defeating the general commander, and progressing through the story. There is also a ``continent map,'' and RPG elements such as towns and conversations with people have been added. There is also fast travel
Choose a stage from the continent map and go to the battlefield?
Move to the city/town or battlefield you want to go to and proceed with the game. Multiple battlefields may appear, and you are free to choose the order in which you take them. In addition to stories and battles, you can also meet people on the continent map. There are also collection points, and you can prepare weapons with "treasure jewels", "old coins", etc.
What will happen to the action?
Rebuilt by incorporating the essence of Mikuni Musha 2-5, Trinity Jill All Zero, DQ Heroes, and Fate/Samurai Remnant
▢: Quick attack
△: Strong attack
〇：Special move
✕：Jump
Defense, evasion, and repulsion are also added to these. The number of weapons increases as the game progresses, and there is also a growth element.
What combat elements do you emphasize?
There are group battles where the main character commands a large army to clash with a large enemy army. It is incorporated as an element that can overcome difficult situations alone. There is also a morale system
Are you going to play a game when you die?
No, I've adjusted it to the extent that it fits within the no-frills action. I want to maintain the right amount of tension in the war against the warriors and feel a sense of exhilaration. It can even be a one-on-one fight
How many enemy soldiers are there?
10 times that of Shin Sangoku Musha 8. This was made possible by improving the machine specs of the current machine
Why not 9?
The latest numbering for Shin Mikuni Musha is 8, which was released on February 8, 2018. The reason why we chose ``ORIGINS'' instead of 9 this time is to go back to the basics without being bound by the fixed concept of the series, ``following the previous work but increasing the number of characters.'' In addition, 6 to 8 or most recent collaborations.��The shape is different from the Mushō series
This work is not positioned as a derivative work or an apocryphal work, but is said to have the same numbering. Then Wakamiki feels uneasy about the explanation as to why he didn't change it to 9.
How far will ORIGINS, which starts from the previous year of Kyoto, cover?
Drawing from Yellow Turban to Red Cliff
Hmm...Are you okay...Like Wallon...
Can you enjoy it even if you don't know Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Like the numbering, if you don't have the prerequisite knowledge, like the yellow belt → tiger cage, it would be a jump, but even if you take one yellow belt, it is also a theme to dig deeper, such as how the long horn came to the head. Because of this, it is made so that only people who don't know Romance of the Three Kingdoms can enjoy it. Specifically, it implements a function that allows you to quickly look up a term or person's name using a link, similar to the dictionary function. They are also waving furigana.
Are you aiming to acquire new users?
Is there a character edit?
Can be named but not edited. There are currently no plans to change costumes
This is surprising...Is there any editing in this kind of genre?
Original character
However, there are times when you are forced to make choices and make big choices.
Maybe there will be a side to which side?
Can I choose Wushuang as a playable character?
Since it is drawn from the perspective of the original character, I cannot choose Mushang Wuji. However, it is now possible to temporarily control the military commander
Qing Wusho (9 people)
Xiahou Dun
Guo Jia
Zhang Liao
Black cover
Sun Shang Xiang
Zhou Yu
Guan Yu
Zhang Fei
Zhao Yun
It is said that there are events and friendships with other military commanders.
About the number of players
There is only one person.
Did you make it a solo game...
Is there something like Geshoden?
Gekouden is like an expansion DLC for other games. I'm not thinking about this in this work.
Since it is up to Akakabe, there is still enough DLC included, so I guess they will consider it based on sales and reputation.
This is Torozo, who loves Musha. To be honest, I'm worried...
Number of players 1 person
No editing
Deeper story
Not numbering
I wonder what's going on around here... If it's not numbering, wouldn't it be better to simply enjoy the exhilarating action of Musha Wusho, create a character, and do some hacking and slashing online? That's what I think.
Even if we dig deeper, if it becomes like Wo-long, I'm worried that the creators will become complacent.
Regarding character creation (editing), it is said that there was a debate as to whether it was necessary until the final stages of development, but in the end it was decided that there would be no character creation.
If numbering 9 is planned for this work, the style can be like this...but the development should check the parts that are blind, such as taking feedback. It seems like the target group has been narrowed down to new users. Well, I'll buy it no matter what.Please!
