In Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, developer Omega Force's hack-and-slash battles take to the skies on PSP. New abilities allow players to fly through the air, entering in truly 3D combat with attacks from above and below. While players still face throngs of enemies in fast-paced battle, there are great advantages in good timing and positioning, promoting teamwork, and good tactics. Up to four PSP gamers can join in co-op play over an Ad-hoc connection, working as a team to take down otherwise insurmountable enemies.

The game features three main campaigns, One for each of the Three Kingdoms of legend in which the series is set. Including heroes from each of the kingdoms, more than 30 playable characters are available in all. Characters can be customized as they fight through their stories, with orbs that enhance weapons power, and by collecting other items for special abilities. After filling a gauge by fighting enemies, characters can undergo a fury transformation to a supernaturally enlightened state, in which the game's most powerful abilities become available for a limited time
