Blade Musou, entitled Warriors: Fate By Blades is Western Markets, is a Game created to appeal to a Western Fantasy loving Audience, while staying true to the warriors franchise. It was created using the online Fiction Fate By Blades as its basis.
Gameplay[]
Players select their chosen character and fight on various battlefields based off of locations in Fate By Blades. Attacks are separated into two varieties: Normal and Charge, with Character growth much akin Samurai Warriors. However, the Musou gauge is more alike Dynasty Warriors 7, as each filled segment allows for one powerful Musou attack.
During Story Mode and Chronicles mode, the game uses a town system very much akin to the Dynasty Warriors 7 system. Characters may then interact with other Characters and build stronger relationships which can cause various special events in battle. Weapons function more akin to Samurai Warriors 3, with weapons sorted into Speed, Balanced and Power categories, with the Divine Catergory weapons only acquirable on Chaos difficulty.
Occasionally, Characters may engage in duels which function like Duels from Dynasty Warriors 6, with troops surrounding the combatants and attacking them if they linger too close to the edge. Also, if certain circumstances are met, characters may appear in Non-Canon fashions, such as Karl Valian appearing at the final Septis forces stage if he is saved from Viktor Dion or Rikon Alo being unavailable during later stages if he is slain by Samu Hassaru while trying to thwart the latters assassination of the Emperor.
