History and Legend in Games

These are two interpretations of the Three Kingdoms era by the same company, Koei. Basically, Romance of the Three Kingdoms takes a more realistic approach while Dynasty Warriors goes for flair and anime style. It's fun to see how the characters look like in one and the other, and then even throughout each game in each series.

Koei has also made games from other historical evidences, like the Nobunaga games and the Joan of Arc game. They take great liberties in their character portrayal...
