Dynasty Warriors Advance (真・三國無双 Advance, Shin Sangoku Musō Adobansu; Shin Sangokumusou Advance in Japan) is a 2005 hack and slashvideo game developed by Omega Force and published by Koei for the Game Boy Advance. A spin-off of the Dynasty Warriors series, it was published outside Japan by Nintendo. It is the only installment in the series to be released for the Game Boy Advance as well as the first to not be released on a PlayStation console.
Characters
Dynasty Warriors Advance features a smaller roster of thirteen characters, a sharp decrease in comparison to the last home console title, Dynasty Warriors 5. Three members of each faction are available from the beginning of the game. Completing Musou Mode with any character from a particular faction will unlock it's secret character. Completing Musou Mode again with one of the faction secret characters will unlock Lu Bu.
Dynasty Warriors Advance received very mixed reviews upon release. IGN disliked the game, grading it 4 out of 10,[10] criticizing the low number of on-screen enemies at any time, and the "button-mashing" gameplay. Nintendo Power, however, gave the game a 7 (out of 10), praising its replay value that "ranks among the best" on the Game Boy Advance system.[11] The game currently has a score of 56 out of 100 at Metacritic,[3] and 55% at GameRankings.[2]
