Warriors Orochi 3, originally released as Musō Orochi 2 (無双オロチ 2Musō Orochi Tsū) in Japan, is a 2011 hack and slash video game developed by Tecmo Koei and Omega Force for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This is the fourth installment of the crossover series Warriors Orochi, a combination of the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. This installment serves as a sequel to Warriors Orochi 2. The game was released in Japan in 2011, in Europe in 2012, and in North America in 2012 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360).
There are two ports of the game: Musou Orochi 2: Special, released in 2012 for PlayStation Portable exclusively in Japan, and Warriors Orochi 3: Hyper, which was released as a launch title for the Wii U for Japan, North America, and Europe. An updated version, Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate (Musou Orochi 2: Ultimate), was released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita in Japan in 2013 with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports released in 2014. The four ports were also released in North America and Europe in 2014. An additional port for the Nintendo Switch was released in 2017.

Gameplay[edit]
The gameplay of Warriors Orochi 3 is similar to that of the two titles that the Warriors Orochi 3 takes its characters from: namely Dynasty Warriors 7 (specifically, Dynasty Warriors Next) and Samurai Warriors 3. Characters from either of these series play similar to how they play in their respective source games, but with a number of changes to unify the two different games together, including:
- Dynasty Warriors characters are solely armed with one weapon, and cannot switch to another one; however, the weapon given to each character is their EX weapon from the series. Characters who have changed their EX weapons in Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires (which was released after Warriors Orochi 3, but before Ultimate) retain their older EX weapons in Ultimate instead of changing to their new EX weapons.
- Dynasty Warriors characters are restricted to one Musou attack. Characters with a ground and aerial Musou attack in Dynasty Warriors 7 retain their ground Musou attack, while characters having two ground Musou attacks may retain either of theirs as their Musou attack.
- As movesets are determined by weapon in Dynasty Warriors 7 rather than by character, characters sharing the same weapon in Dynasty Warriors 7 have altered charge attacks to differentiate them from each other.
- Samurai Warriors characters perform their Ultimate Musou attack in situations where the True Musou attack is available, to compensate for the lack of the Spirit Gauge.
- Samurai Warriors characters gain new Switch attacks, akin to weapon switching in Dynasty Warriors 7, for their use in Switch Combos.
For characters who are from neither of the two series, whether or not the character is of Japanese origin determines whether their Musou attack corresponds to that of the Dynasty Warriors or the Samurai Warriors cast. Characters new to Warriors Orochi also have movesets based on their overall character type in this regard: for example, some of non-Japanese origin characters like Nemea, whose moveset is based on a Dynasty Warriors 7 weapon unused by anyone in that roster, have an EX attack like Dynasty Warriors characters, while some of Japanese-origin characters like Kaguya has the longer, standard attack chain reminiscent of a character from the Samurai Warriors roster.
Gameplay takes place on modified versions of stages taken primarily from Dynasty Warriors 7 or Samurai Warriors 3 (in addition, some downloadable content and story elements in Ultimate take place in stages taken from Warriors Orochi 2); a select number of stages relevant to the story are new stages. Each of the new 'collaboration characters' (Ryu Hayabusa, Ayane, Joan of Arc, Nemea, Achilles, Rachel, Momiji, Kasumi, Sterkenburg, and Sophitia) is also associated with a stage taken from either Dynasty Warriors 7 or Samurai Warriors 3, with graphical modifications made to resemble their game of origin. Much of the stage music is taken from earlier Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, or Warriors Orochi games; each of the collaboration characters is also associated with a unique theme.
New mechanics for the Warriors Orochi series include:
- In addition to Power, Speed, and Technique, a new character attack type, 'Wonder', is available.
- Like Dynasty Warriors 7, there is a central base from which characters organize their missions. The base initially contains a weapons dealer and a network assistant for multiplayer play, but can be expanded to include a teahouse.
- A modified version of the Bond system from Dynasty Warriors 7 is introduced. Bonds between two characters are formed through being allied in battle, being opponents in battle, being teammates in battle, or by completing a mission set forth by an ally in battle (however, failure to complete a mission weakens the bond between two characters). As new chapters are unlocked, bonds between characters may be raised by paying gems at the teahouse.
- Each character is associated with a number of other characters considered to be 'special relationships'; as the bond between the two characters increase, new support conversations may appear whenever the player controls either character in the central base. Special relationships span many different types, including family, adversarial, based on earlier Warriors Orochi series titles, or based on events in Story Mode.
- As with Dynasty Warriors 7, the morale gauge is no longer present.
- As with Samurai Warriors 3, each character is associated with four levels of weapons; a fifth level of weapon is available in Ultimate by fulfilling certain stage conditions on hard, as with past Warriors games.
- Players may switch characters as they are attacking. This technique, known as a 'Switch Combo', allows the combo counter of the outgoing character to be transferred to the incoming character, who performs a special switch attack when they are switched in. This, however, consumes a portion of the incoming character's Musou gauge. There is also a variation called the 'Triple Rush' attack which is only available in the Ultimate update.[9] A team of 3 specific characters will also result in creating a unique attack within the 'Triple Rush' feature.
- Characters may perform new attacks such as 'Break Guard' and 'Dash Chain'.
- A new gauge has been introduced, the True Triple Attack gauge, which fills as a player deals damage to enemies. For a short period of time after the True Triple Attack is initiated, all enemies will move in slow motion. The strength of the True Triple Attack is determined by the overall bond between the three characters.
- Two-player co-op is available with both players permitted to use different teams. For Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper, the Wii U Gamepad may be used for one of the players, allowing the other player to play in full-screen.
- A new mode, 'Musou Battlefield', allows the modification of existing stages and sharing of modifications online. Players have a limited number of 'edit points', where they may replace characters, add more aggressive enemy behaviour, and alter game audio. Ultimate removes the need for edit points to alter the changes and the players can also customize the battle quotes and combat notifications in-game.
- Hyper has a new Duel Mode, allowing players to battle each other in three-on-three battles. Players must choose in addition four Strategy Cards, which may be activated over the course of a duel: each Strategy Card costs a number of Battle Points (gained over time during a battle) per use. Each character has two Strategy Cards available for use; one is made available by unlocking the character, while the second is made available through other means.
- Ultimate adds a new Gauntlet Mode, where players can set a party of five characters instead of three.[9]
- Downloadable content, allowing for new character costumes, scenarios, weapons, and music, is available for all platforms. Downloadable content from Dynasty Warriors 7 and Samurai Warriors 3 cannot be used in Warriors Orochi 3; the same content must be repurchased for specific use by this game.
Characters[edit]
All characters from Warriors Orochi 2 and Musou Orochi Z return in this game. Unlike the first two games (which the costumes for the characters from Dynasty Warriors 5 and Samurai Warriors 2 are used), the costumes for the characters are taken from Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends and Sengoku Musou 3 Z. Characters not present in either game use visuals from the last game in which they appeared.
Four new characters were initially available in the original PlayStation 3 version. An additional seven were added through various expansions of the game:
- Kaguya (かぐや) (Technique); A graceful and elegant young mystic who descends to the dimensional world following the chaos wrought upon by the Hydra. Armed with the miraculous ability to traverse time, she helps the three remaining heroes to save their comrades from certain death and to fight back against the bewitched serpent beast. Throughout the game, she begins to develop a sense of friendship with humanity, which helps against her initially repressive side. Wields sakaki and mirrors.
- Shuten Dōji (酒呑童子) (Wonder); A mighty warrior of strength and intimidating presence. The two horns extending from the top of his head suggest something superhuman about him, but he himself knows nothing of his own identity, save for his name.

Eventually, it is revealed that he is actually a part of Orochi's soul, separated from him when he was reborn as the Hydra, and thus is vital for the Coalition to fight back the serpent beast. Wields a giant gourd.
- Nezha (哪咤) (Speed); A young mystic born between the human and mystic realms. After initially being killed in an earlier battle, he is resurrected by the high mystic Susano'o as his aide, helping him to capture Da Ji, although his ways of finding becomes some sort of terror against humanity.

- Susano'o (素戔嗚) (Power); The leader of the Mystic Army who has finally deigned to make an appearance in this land of turmoil. He has unwavering confidence in his own strength, and the complete trust of his subordinates. This leads, however, to a contemptuous attitude towards human beings. He is pursuing Da Ji in order to thwart her plans to resurrect Orochi, although his apathetic and militaristic attitude to find her becomes a sort of amusement to the mystics. Wields the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi.

Disgusted by humanity and their vanity, he willingly entered the dimensional realm through time distortion. Wields a wood folding fan and a white fox spirit.

- Yinglong (応龍) (Power); A powerful mystic entrusted with exterminating demons in the mystic realm.

- Hydra (妖蛇); The 'world will' of Orochi's raw power, taking the form of a giant eight-headed serpent beast dubbed as 'Hydra' (Youja in Japanese).

It is unplayable in the game, serving only as the game boss.

Plot[edit]
Several years after the events of Warriors Orochi 2, the warriors of the Three Kingdoms era of China and the Sengoku period of Japan have begun to rebuild their lives in the twisted dimensional world after Orochi's permanent death. The peace is not to last for long though, as a monstrous eight-headed serpent beast known as Hydra appears and massacres the warriors. Combined with the resurrection of Kiyomori Taira and the reappearance of Da Ji, who brainwashes the remaining heroes, the warriors are left in shambles. The remaining three heroes – Ma Chao, Sima Zhao, and Hanbei Takenaka – are about to be defeated if not for the intervention of the Moon Princess, Kaguya, who claims to have been sent from the mystic world to help the warriors. She uses her time travel ability to send the three back in time, so they will be able to save their comrades from certain doom.
After securing the more strategic places like Odawara Castle, the coalition are informed by mystic Taigong Wang that they can defeat the Hydra using a special weapon called 'Yashio'ori'; however, they will need the time and power to build such a weapon. The coalition capture an amnesiac mighty warrior, Shuten Dōji, who is later revealed to be an offshoot of Orochi who was born at the same time as Hydra; in reality, he is the world's will of Orochi's power, as well as Da Ji herself, who reluctantly joins after the coalition have her friend, Himiko as an unwitting hostage. Because of the time required to build multiple Yashio'ori, the coalition have to return to the distant past when the Hydra had yet to appear in the world, which they fulfill through Da Ji's power, as she has been in the dimensional world the entire time (the other mystics have only appeared when the Hydra had made its appearance). Upon arriving, the coalition have to protect Da Ji from the anti-Orochi forces as well as an army of mystics led by Susanoo, who has dedicated his job to hunt Da Ji. They eventually gain their trust, and with the help of them, the coalition build multiple Yashio'ori powered by Shuten Dōji's essence, while also preparing for the upcoming grand battle with the Hydra.
Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate Gauntlet Mode Materials
In the final chapter, the coalition confront the Hydra again, who is defeated with the help of Yashio'ori. The Hydra then reforms to eight Orochi clones and later a final Orochi X form. While battling them, the coalition also have to gain the trust of Susanoo, who is not yet willing to let the problem fall into the mortal's hands. The game has three endings, which are unlocked through certain requirements. The 'Normal' ending has the coalition finally being able to destroy Hydra. The 'Good' ending is essentially the same, although the warriors then make pledge to rule the land together in peace. In the 'True' ending, after Orochi X is defeated, the dimensional world begins to crumble, as Orochi's existence is the only thing that supports the world; defeating him means the end of the world. The mystics band their powers to send the warriors back to their own original time, saving them at the cost of their memories in the dimensional world.
The expanded story in the Ultimate update is continued from the 'Good' ending of the original game, thus forgoing the 'True' ending. Da Ji and the rest of the Demon Army have broken out from the coalition and are now traversing the dimensional world. They are attracted to a magical stone they found during their journey, which is revealed to be the sealed form of Mae Tamamo, a mystic who possesses a mysterious mirror, the Shinkyō, which has the ability to seal anyone who comes into contact with it and to create doppelgangers. Allying herself with Da Ji, Tamamo seals many warriors of the Three Kingdoms and Sengoku period and create doppelgangers of them, causing chaos and conflict within the Coalition. The mystics, who have gone to the mystic realm since the Hydra's defeat, descend once more to help the warriors. Depending on the progression, the player may finish the game's story in Chapter 6, which ends in the release of the sealed warriors and Tamamo's defeat and subsequent sealing as the stone again by the mystics. Otherwise, while the sealed warriors are released, Tamamo is not yet defeated, and the story continues to Chapter 7.
In an attempt to stop Tamamo from causing further conflicts, the warriors will need her own magic mirror, the Shinkyō to seal her. Through Kaguya's powers combined with Fu Xi's memories, the warriors travel far back in time in the mystic realm, when Orochi had not existed yet. The mystic realm is ruled by Tiandi, who is the original possessor of the Shinkyō and had used it to seal demons. The warriors meet with the mystic Yinglong, who is fooled by Tamamo into believing that the Emperor had used the Shinkyō to control the demons. He starts a rebellion against the Emperor and eventually manages to steal the mirror, This act causes him to be corrupted by the mirror's evil power, which transforms him into Orochi, who proceeds to go to the human realm to commit various evil acts after having killed the half-mystic Nezha. The Emperor, having learned of Tamamo's plans, gratefully lends the warriors the Shinkyō. Back in the present time, the warriors use the mirror against Tamamo, but this only makes her revert to her true form, the Kyūbi no Kitsune, who confronts the warriors in the final battle. The Ultimate update has two endings in addition to the three mentioned above, the first of which is the aforementioned 'Normal' ending where Tamamo is sealed without having reverted to her true form. In this ending the warriors continue to live their life in peace in the dimensional world. The second ending is similar to the 'True' ending of the original game, where, after having sealed Kyūbi, the mystics band their powers to send the warriors to their original timeline; however, the dimensional world seems to stay intact, unlike the original game.
Release[edit]
The game was originally released in Japan on December 22, 2011, in Europe on April 6, 2012, and in North America on March 20, 2012 (PlayStation 3), and March 27, 2012 (Xbox 360).[12][13] Simultaneous store front meetings in Japan took place at the end of November until mid December for Dynasty Warriors Next and Musou Orochi 2. Attendees could obtain an original clear file for Musou Orochi 2 and play demos for both games at these meetings. Early buyers received a downloadable serial code granting Santa costumes to Mitsunari Ishida, Wang Yuanji, and Da Ji. The Treasure Box release includes a calendar which has characters represent the months and days individually, an original soundtrack, and an exclusive downloadable serial code for Ma Chao's weapon. Consumers who used Gamecity's shopping service had the option of obtaining a Three Kingdoms or Warring States themed hat.
Musou Orochi 2: Special[edit]
A PSP port, titled Musou Orochi 2: Special was announced on May 8, 2012, and was released on July 19, 2012, exclusively in Japan.[14] Two additional characters were added: Rachel from the Ninja Gaiden series and a new character named Seimei Abe. A new Battle Royale Mode was included with support for up to four players. All characters, modes, and features from the original game were retained in this port. Ten PSP customizable themes based on characters are offered for players who pre-order the title. Players can automatically unlock all characters by inserting their saved data from Musou Orochi 2.[15]
Warriors Orochi 3: Hyper[edit]
The Wii U port of the game, Warriors Orochi 3: Hyper (Musou Orochi 2: Hyper in Japan) was announced at the 2012 Tokyo Game Show as one of the launch titles for the console.[16][5] Unlike past releases, this port launched outside Japan first. Hyper features a new multiplayer mode called 'Duel Mode' in which players battle enemies using three-man teams. Players will also have the option to play the game using a Wii U Pro Controller or the Wii U GamePad. The GamePad can be used to display an expanded mini-map. Local co-op includes an option that allows each player to have a full screen to play on, with one player using the TV screen while the other uses the GamePad's screen. The single player game can also be played on the GamePad's screen without the use of a TV. The game includes all characters from Special, including Rachel and Seimei Abe and adds two new characters: Momiji from the Ninja Gaiden series and a new original character, Shennong.
Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate[edit]
An update to the original game, Musou Orochi 2: Ultimate was released for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on September 26, 2013.[6] The PlayStation 4 version was released in Japan on June 26 and September 4, 2014, respectively,[7] featuring improved graphics and lighting among other enhancements. The game was released in North America and Europe in 2014 on September 2 and September 5, respectively[3] with an additional Xbox One port, which was also released in Japan as a launch title. It was also released for the Nintendo Switch on November 9, 2017 to commemorate Omega Force's 20th anniversary.[1]
The update includes all new features from the Hyper version. It also retains the four new characters added in that game: Rachel, Seimei Abe, Momiji, and Shennong as well as the game debut of Xu Shu, a Dynasty Warriors character who first appeared in Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires. New characters are also added, including Mae Tamamo, Yinglong, a younger incarnation of Nezha, Kyūbi no Kitsune, Hundun, Kasumi from the Dead or Alive series,[17] Sterkenburg Cranach from the Atelier Arland series, and Sophitia Alexandra from the Soulcalibur series. The game expands on the original game's story by adding two new stories: 'The Tale of the Latter Day', which takes place after the defeat of Hydra in the original game, and 'The Tale of the Former Day', which is a side story that explains Orochi's origins as well as his secret with Da Ji.[9] New stages are also added, including side stories to expand on the characters not prominently featured in the main story, alternative events on specific stages, and the chance to play stages through the enemy's perspective.

The gameplay of Warriors Orochi 3 is similar to that of the two titles that the Warriors Orochi 3 takes its characters from: namely Dynasty Warriors 7 (specifically, Dynasty Warriors Next) and Samurai Warriors 3.As movesets are determined by weapon in Dynasty Warriors 7 rather than by character, characters sharing the same weapon in Dynasty Warriors 7 have altered charge attacks to differentiate them from each other.For characters who are from neither of the two series, whether or not the character is of Japanese origin determines whether their Musou attack corresponds to that of the Dynasty Warriors or the Samurai Warriors cast.Characters new to Warriors Orochi also have movesets based on their overall character type in this regard: for example, some of non-Japanese origin characters like Nemea, whose moveset is based on a Dynasty Warriors 7 weapon unused by anyone in that roster, have an EX attack like Dynasty Warriors characters, while some of Japanese-origin characters like Kaguya has the longer, standard attack chain reminiscent of a character from the Samurai Warriors roster.

Warriors Orochi 4, released as Musō Orochi 3 (無双オロチ 3Musō Orochi Surī) in Japan, is a 2018 hack and slash video game developed by Koei Tecmo and Omega Force for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. First announced on March 2018, it is the fifth installment of the crossover series Warriors Orochi, a combination of the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. The game was released in Japan on September 27, 2018, in North America on October 16, 2018, and in Europe on October 19, 2018.[1][2]
Gameplay[edit]
As with the previous iterations, the player is given control of a three-man team consisting of characters from the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. Each character has a class type that determines their ability: Power, Speed, and Technique; the Wonder type introduced in Warriors Orochi 3 has been removed.[3] New to the series is the concept of magic and Sacred Treasures, techniques that allow characters to perform special feats to overcome enemies. These depend on a specific category that is separate from the class system, and are performed by holding down the right shoulder button and pressing either the normal, charge, or musou attack buttons, the latter two requiring a special magic gauge, and the last also requiring half of a player's musou gauge. As such, these replace the type actions from the previous games. Because of this, characters from the Dynasty Warriors series lack their second musou attack, but retain the ability to perform an aerial musou attack, and characters from the Samurai Warriors series lack their special attacks, but retain the ability to perform hyper attacks. The ability to mount a horse remains in Warriors Orochi 4, and is performed by holding down the right shoulder button and pressing the jump button.
The Awakening mechanic from Dynasty Warriors 8 and Musou Gokui mechanic from Samurai Warriors 4 are unified in Warriors Orochi 4, and may only be activated by obtaining a rare powerup during gameplay and pressing the left analog stick; when playing with only a single Joy-Con on the Nintendo Switch, this is instead activated by pressing both SL and SR, as the left analog stick alone is normally mapped to the character switch functionality. Only one character from a team may use this at a given time, though the character activating it need not be the character that obtained the powerup, and players may still switch characters while the mode is active. Once activated, the character may perform their Rage attack, consistent with both Dynasty Warriors 8 and Samurai Warriors 4. Characters central to the story are, once the relevant portions of the story are cleared, be given a 'deification' form based on figures from Greek or Norse mythology, which will be in effect while Awakening or Musou Gokui is in effect, strengthening their various other actions in the process.[3][4]
As with previous games, most stages in Warriors Orochi 4 are taken from either earlier installments of the Warriors Orochi series, or the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors source games, with a minimal amount of original stages, reskinned to suit the theme of Warriors Orochi 4. However, new to this game are mashup stages where one part of a stage is taken from Dynasty Warriors and another part is taken from Samurai Warriors; for example, the Baidi Castle stage from Dynasty Warriors 8 has the upper portion taken from the Oshu Castle stage from Samurai Warriors 4.
The game features several multiplayer options, including a three-versus-three competitive multiplayer mode.[5]
Plot[edit]
The story of Warriors Orochi 4 is depicted in a set of 70 missions, spread out over 5 chapters. Players with a demo version of the game (only available for PlayStation 4) may play the first 10 missions (encompassing the entirety of the first chapter and four missions of the second), and have access to 30 characters. As in Samurai Warriors 4, each mission has optional objectives that may be completed for greater rewards, with the highest rewards being given to those who complete all of the objectives on the highest difficulty level.
Picking up from the ending of Warriors Orochi 3, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms and Sengoku periods go about their lives after their return to their respective time periods, having forgotten all of their exploits in Orochi's dimensional world. However, Zeus, the Greek god of thunder, has a goal in mind and decides to bring all of them back into the dimensional world.
The story then unfolds from the perspective of Tokugawa forces, led by Tadakatsu Honda, Naomasa Ii, and Naotora Ii: while en route to fighting the Hashiba forces at the Komaki campaign, the three sense a mild disturbance caused by a mysterious purple fog, and find themselves in a strange and unknown world, and mysterious hostile enemies, later revealed to be the forces of Lü Bu. Although Tadakatsu is able to hold his own against Lü Bu, when Lü Bu uses the power of the Ouroboros Bracelet on his arm, the Tokugawa forces decide to make a hasty retreat. Later, they meet additional hostile forces, this time led by Sun Quan, who initially mistakes the Tokugawa forces as hostile forces sent from the Kingdom of Wei. As it turns out, these forces from the Kingdom of Wu were also transported into this world through a mysterious purple mist. The Tokugawa and Wu forces decide to ally with each other to determine their shared situation, with both Tadakatsu and Sun Quan noting that despite only having just met, that this is not the first time they had worked together before.
The Tokugawa and Wu forces, after a serendipitous encounter, meet up with a force, known as the Rebel Army, led by Liu Bei, Kenshin Uesugi, and Shingen Takeda, who are battling the Coalition Army (the Oda and Jin forces), led by Nobunaga Oda. Like Lü Bu, Nobunaga also has one of these Ouroboros Bracelets in his possession. Liu Bei invites the Tokugawa and Wu forces into the Rebel Army as they seek out Nobunaga's intent, the meaning of the Ouroboros bracelets and why Nobunaga is after them, and the reason why they are in the dimensional world in the first place. Some answers are provided by the demigod Perseus, who the Rebel Army had encountered while battling Nobunaga: according to Perseus, the Ouroboros Bracelets were created by Zeus from the hair of Medusa and the scythe of Orochi, and dropped in his water mirror for the humans to find. Offended that the gods of Olympus would treat humans as mere playthings, Perseus had taken as many of the remaining bracelets as he could find, and escaped to the dimensional world, with Athena, daughter of Zeus, in pursuit; in his haste he had lost the bracelets that he had taken. As the son of Zeus, though not close to any of his siblings, Perseus feels responsible for his father's vices, and thus aligns himself with the Rebel Army; the Rebel Army, in turn, agrees to help Perseus secure the Ouroboros Bracelets that were lost.
At this point, the warriors of the dimensional world is divided into four separate factions: the Rebel Army, the Coalition Army, the Olympian Army, led by Athena and her brother Ares, and the Demon Army, led by Da Ji, of which Lü Bu is a member. The story continues to be told from the perspective of the Rebel Army, as they attempt to confront Nobunaga by causing the defections of the various members of his army. While in separate combat with the Demon Army, the Rebel Army learns that the Ouroboros Bracelets are activated by the resolve and feelings of its wielder, with each bracelet holding the power of a god. By chance, the Rebel Army secures its first bracelet when Naotora discovers one lying in the grass; she would later use it to wield the power of Aphrodite while fending off Lü Bu and the power of Thor in his bracelet. Yukimura Sanada would secure a second bracelet for the Rebel Army, using it to wield the power of Tyr, but lose out on a third to Zhao Yun, serving the Olympian Army and wielding the power of Apollo. After facing Nobunaga head-on, it is discovered that he was, in fact, working on behalf of the Mystics who had helped the humans defeat Orochi and the God of Destruction in previous Warriors Orochi games; the mystics had found an Ouroboros Bracelet in the Mystic Realm, who in turn imbued it with the power of Izanagi and entrusted it to Nobunaga.
As the Rebel and Coalition Armies merge following the defeat of Nobunaga, Ares secures two additional bracelets, and entrusted them to Cao Pi (who would later wield the power of Poseidon) and Mitsunari Ishida (who would later wield the power of Hermes), separately promising each that they could become the 'King of Men' and rule over the dimensional world, much like Zeus reigns as king of Olympus. The unified Coalition Army bolsters its ranks, while learning that Zhao Yun is only serving the Olympians due to the fact that they are holding Liu Shan hostage to force their cooperation; once Liu Shan is freed by the Coalition Army, Zhao Yun and the remainder of Liu Shan's contingent from the Kingdom of Shu defect to the Coalition. During the process, the Coalition secures an additional Ouroboros Bracelet, which Guan Yinping uses to wield the power of Freyja.
The continued use of the Ouroboros Bracelets, as explained by the mystics, is what allows mortals, mystics, and gods alike to be summoned to the dimensional world; additionally, their continued presence will eventually restore the humans' memories of their past in the dimensional world. But even though the Coalition sought to retrain themselves from using it excessively, lest even more dangerous foes appear, the existing use of the bracelets was enough to summon Shuten Doji, the being holding the consciousness of Orochi, into the dimensional world. The Demon Army, intent on reviving Orochi using the power of the bracelets, are able to locate and subdue him. Furthermore, while on a mission to locate and recruit new allies summoned to the dimensional world, the Demon Army manages to abduct Perseus from the Coalition Army, reducing their morale.
During another battle to recruit new allies who have appeared in the dimensional world, the Coalition Army learn that Da Ji and the Demon Army had allied herself with Odin and the forces of Asgard. It was said that some time ago, there was a war amongst the gods of Asgard for which Odin was prophesied to die; instead, Odin had survived and managed to defeat all who stood in his way. To Yukimura's shock and horror, after attempting another attempt to rescue Perseus, Perseus reveals himself to be Odin's subordinate general Loki, who had tricked the Coalition into using the bracelets he had stolen and made the humans fight over, in order to both spread the fear of Zeus and make it so that Odin could be summoned to the dimensional world. Left with no other choice, the Coalition decide to seek out the truth, and attempt to summon Zeus into the dimensional world by waging war on both Olympus and Asgard. Meanwhile, Odin manages to use his power to transform the comatose Shuten Doji back to the God of Destruction, Orochi X. Separately, the original Serpent King, Orochi, was also revived, and the two Orochis proceed to engage each other in combat.
The continuing victories over the Olympians by the Coalition Army continue to frustrate Ares, and is further compounded by the sudden defection of the Toyotomi forces to the Coalition Army once Ares' duplicity is exposed. Cao Pi and his forces would also later defect, after leaking of the Olympians' plans to his father, Cao Cao, allowing the Coalition Army to confront Zeus head-on. When the Coalition Army overcome him, Zeus explains that he had been interested in the accomplishments of the warriors who had previously defeated Orochi, Hydra, and the God of Destruction, and wanted to test their strength, but before he could finish, Ares turns on Zeus, mortally wounding him. Ares, having been unaware of Zeus' motives, had made a secret deal with Odin and Loki to kill Zeus and gain his power for their cause.
Although the Coalition Army faces a faction consisting of Odin, Loki, Lü Bu, Ares, and the God of Destruction, they are undeterred, and are able to hold their own against incredible odds. Having failed to take on these forces alone and being forced to be saved by the Coalition Army on different occasions, Athena, feeling responsible for the events that have transpired, ultimately decides to join the Coalition Army in order to set things right. As the battles between the two remaining forces unfold, the Coalition Army learns that Odin intends to destroy all worlds - the mortal world, the Mystic Realm, Olympus, and Asgard alike, by summoning the world tree Yggdrasil and channeling the powers of the God of Destruction into it. He is motivated to do so out of self-preservation: having survived a war that he was destined to die, he fears that the prophecy may come true in other ways. After Ares suffers another defeat at the hands of the Coalition, Odin decides to take the power of Zeus from him, having never intended to hold his end of the deal. Before Ares is killed, however, he is saved by the Coalition Army. Given a second chance by the Coalition Army, Ares leads them to find a way to revive Zeus, whose body had been taken by Odin.
The location of Zeus' body is divulged to Yukimura through an unexpected source: Loki, who believes that the Coalition has no chance of success even with the help of Zeus. After saving the body from a raging fire, Ares uses his own life force in place of the force that Odin now possesses to revive Zeus, though Athena and the mystics also contribute some of their life force so that Ares would not bear the burden of his mistakes alone. Zeus is revived, and reveals that it was his plan all along to lure Odin into the dimensional world in order to destroy him, though Odin's destruction was always intended to be at the hands of the mortals who defeated Orochi, the Hydra, and the God of Destruction. He had anticipated the revival of Orochi; as such, he was the one who had briefly 'borrowed' the scythe of Orochi to create the Ouroboros Bracelets; in return, he had left the bracelet now in Nobunaga's possession in gratitude in the Mystic Realm for them to find. He did not, however, anticipate Ares' betrayal, or the fact that the Coalition Army already had a plan to defeat Odin and foil his plan. In order for their plan to work, they must find and defeat Orochi, and then channel his powers to the Ouroboros bracelets in order to destroy Yggdrasil. Zeus is willing to go along with the plan, but in order to do his part, he will need his staff, which the Coalition promptly win from Loki.
The Coalition Army's plans are a success, and Fu Xi and Susano'o ensure that the corrupted Yinglong can rest once more. With both forms of Orochi defeated, the Coalition Army is joined by the Demon Army for a final stand against Odin and Loki, as they too have a vested interest in not allowing Odin's plans to succeed. However, the defeat of Orochi meant that the dimensional world is also threatening to tear itself apart. Nevertheless, the Coalition Army is unable to prevent Odin from activating the power of Yggdrasil. However, before his plans come to fruition, he is suddenly betrayed by Loki.
In the battles prior to the final confrontation, the Coalition had learned that Loki is not entirely loyal to Odin: Loki had also survived the war of the gods, but at the cost of losing most of his powers and seeing all of his friends die by Odin's hand. Since then, Loki had been secretly plotting revenge on Odin, and manipulating the Coalition Army and fulfilling Odin's ambition is a means to that end: once Yggdrasil had been activated, Loki had planned to seal Odin within the dimensional world. Odin, in his injured state, is able to overpower Loki, and Loki is then forced to serve as a mindless puppet. Nevertheless, Odin is defeated and killed by Coalition Army forces, but as Yggdrasil crumbles without its power, the dimensional world teeters on collapse. Zeus, having regained his full powers, decides to send the humans back to their own worlds, once again with no memories of the adventure that they had. Before they leave, Zeus wishes all of them to have a happy and fruitful life, knowing that the gods and mystics will always smile over them in their adventures to come.
Characters[edit]
The game features 170 playable characters.[6] With the exception of the collaboration characters from other franchises, all playable characters from Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate return. Characters are based on their appearances from Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires and Samurai Warriors 4-II; as a consequence, the game also marks the debut of characters introduced in those games into the Warriors Orochi series.[3] The game adds five new original characters:

- Loki (Technique): The Norse god of mischief and shapeshifting. Throughout the game, he disguises himself as Perseus, a Greek hero, intending to mislead the warriors into helping Odin; as such, he is solely referred to as Perseus in all promotional material. He is the person Athena is looking for in the dimensional world. Loki wields a tree spear, Mistilteinn, as his weapon. His voice actor is Hiro Shimono.
- Ares (Speed): The Greek god of war and Zeus' son. Prideful and arrogant, he loathes humans and detests his father's tendency to live among them. He wields Typhon spears as his weapon. His voice actor is Makoto Furukawa.
- Odin (Power): The Norse god of wisdom and magic. Following his survival at Ragnarok, Odin is eager to search for and accumulate power. He wields Gungnir as his weapon. His voice actor is Sohta Arai.
All remaining characters are voiced by their voice actors from their last playable appearance, with the exception of Ujiyasu Hōjō, who is now voiced by Masashi Ebara after the passing of previous voice actor Unsho Ishizuka.
