Released in 2009 by Omega Force for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and Xbox 360, Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires is a strategy and hack-and-slash hybrid set during the wars of Ancient China. Players choose between two distinct roles: ruling as a lord or serving as an officer under an existing kingdom. Lords manage territorial expansion through strategic decisions about when to attack, defend, or implement policies, with a card-based system governing policy effects on empire strength and military capability — the cards available depending on officer and army attributes. Officers, meanwhile, participate in war councils, undertake missions for rewards, and can defect if their relationship with a ruler deteriorates. A notable addition is an extensive character creation mode allowing players to design a custom warrior, with options spanning gender, physique, facial features, voice, attire, and weaponry. Battlefield traversal also incorporates mountain ledges and waterways for infiltration and surprise attacks on supply lines.
