(In Japan) Musou Stars is a crossover Warriors game that features several characters owned by Koei and its subsidiaries and one of the projects that celebrates Omega Force’s twentieth anniversary. It was first revealed to the public on stage during the 2016 PlayStation Press Conference in Japan.
Masaki Furusawa is the producer. The game was originally going to be another Warriors Orochi game, but the developers decided to create something different to “evolve” the Warriors brand. The general concept is to present “a hero battle starring all the protagonists”, so the majority of the playable roster are characters who are fan favorites or starring in one of the company’s latest IPs. A keyword for development is “festival” while the action parts are themed to “joint struggle.”
“The story takes place in an alternate world that relies on a miraculous spring to sustain itself. The King, who could control the spring’s powers, suddenly perished, leaving the world in turmoil. The Queen tasked her daughter with summoning otherworldly heroes to save their land, but the attempted summoning errs and scatters the heroes to different areas of their world. Other members of the royal family rise to claim the throne and divide the heroes into three warring factions.
The player decides on one character to act as their party leader while the others provide support. A five-man party is the maximum limit. Leaders and party members can be changed any time before battle. There is no character switching during battle, only the rearrangement of the support characters’ order.”
