For the first time in the Dynasty Warriors series, Empires includes an Edit mode where players can create and edit their own character, and beginning this July, gamers will be able to download new character customization options and music tracks from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation Network.

Empires incorporates aspects of both the action and strategy genres, and players can experience Ancient China’s greatest and most glorious war as either an all-powerful lord or as an officer who serves one. As a lord, gamers must think strategically and decide when to attack, when to resist invasion, and when to initiate policies to expand their power and influence. As an officer, players can suggest policies in the kingdom’s war council, complete missions for rewards, and even turn against their ruler should relations sour.
