Warriors Orochi Z is a game that combines Warriors Orochi and Warriors Orochi 2 in a single game.

The new characters, costumes, and voice option will be available in various regions as the PSP port for Warriors Orochi 2.

[edit] Overview

Two new characters are added in the game, Benkei and Xuanzang (made a woman in the game), and it additionally features Dodomekki and Gyuki as fully-playable characters. The game has 12 new stages, more cutscenes, and a handful of new songs made for the compilation. One track in particular is Orochi's Theme, something that was expected to be created by the sound director.

The graphics and such will be upgraded to Playstation 3 level. Each player in 2P mode is now able to choose their own team of characters independent of the other player.

There are also four possible costumes for each character. The Dynasty Warriors characters can unlock their Dynasty Warriors 6 costumes and Samurai Warriors characters can unlock their alternate outfits from Samurai Warriors or Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends. Characters who weren't available in these games obtain a new look. For the Dynasty Warriors characters, only the outfits and hairstyle change; facial features and weapons from their regular models remain.

[edit] Bugs and Glitches

A lot of them were fixed with patch updates but here are the notable ones that still remain.

Disappearing Benkei
Have Benkei equipped with a weapon that has "Highflier" on it (this upgrade allows characters to jump during charge attacks). Perform his C2 where he digs underneath the ground. At the moment he's underneath the ground, try to jump cancel out of the charge. The timing is really difficult to nail and the frame of error is short. If it's performed quick enough, the sound effect for Benkei rising out of the ground will play but his character model will not be visible. He can still be controlled as though he has reemerged but it may take some time to get used to his invisibility.
No weapon for 2nd player
This glitch only affects the character cutscenes during battle. If the 2nd player triggers the stage's movie event between characters, their characters will have the 1st player's costumes and will have no weapon visible during the movie.
