Koei, creators and long-time milkers of Dynasty Warriors came out yesterday with an announcement I didn’t quite expect. An iteration of Dynasty Warriors on the PSP which might not suck. It contains monsters, which I don’t think anybody was expecting, and looks a bit like Shadow of the Colossus. Good to see they’re doing something a little different from the usual 1v10000000000000000 gameplay though, despite bending our perception of what a Dynasty Warriors game really is.

Strikeforce promises 4-player coop which sounds great if it works, and DLC. It also features weapon customisation and intriguingly drops the special move ability for a Final Fantasy-style power which allows you to summon big-ass monsters once you’ve filled your gauge.

Wait a minute… haven’t we heard all this before on the PSP? Hang on, this is just Monster Hunter Portable with magic! I knew it!
