The first player is assisted by blue-colored guards whereas the second player is given support from red-colored soldiers. Each round lasts for about a total of 3 minutes. More points can be earned by successfully knocking off the opposing player. Note that health depletion is not an issue for both sides in this course. Unlike the previous Bridge Melee challenges in earlier Dynasty Warriors games, players will automatically warp back to the tower as many times as they fall down.
The goal of Tower is to accumulate a higher score than the opponent by toppling as many enemies off the tower as possible.
Furthermore, the walls in Elimination cannot be knocked down no matter what. Note that character switches, support attacks, and even triple attacks have been disabled for this particular mode. In the case of Elimination, both players must defeat the opposing team while keeping their own members alive. Another version of Tag Team is implemented in Survival Mode, a feature different from that of VS Mode. Also, characters in use can slowly regain Musou without switching back or equipping certain skills unlike in the main portion of the game. Strafing enables players to move beyond the linear gap between them and their opponent in any direction. Since the fence walls in this mode are easily broken, caution is highly advised when standing near them. The objective of Tag Team is to defeat any of the opposing team's characters by knocking them off the arena or reducing their life gauge completely. While these courses share the same gameplay mechanics, the two of them have slightly different goals and restrictions. On another note, any character selected by the second player will automatically appear in their palette-swapped outfit to prevent visual confusion from both sides.ĭrawing inspiration from the first Dynasty Warriors title, Tag Team and Elimination pit both teams against one another in close combat. Each game has its own set of rules and conditions that more or less vary from one another. VS Mode is a new gameplay feature in Warriors Orochi 2 which solely focuses on competition by allowing players to test their skills together through four different mini-games.
