Introduction: Shin Sangoku Musou: Multi Raid is a action game by Koei. 
              This game differs
 from previous Dynasty Warriors games. The game 
              focuses on completing small quests to move on through the 
              story we all know so well instead of fighting through stages and
              stages. Characters can also equipped different weapons during 
              battle for more variety of moves. Every character can also 
              transformed into his/her Awakening form for more awesomeness
