Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Originally released for the
Japanese PC in January 2007 where it went on to sell
50,000 copies, Koihime Musou is a
re-interpretation of the Sangokushi (Romance of the
Three Kingdoms) Warring States period in Chinese
history. Instead of male generals waging war against
each other, over 30 attractive maidens provide all
of the conflict, arms, and even love. Koihime Musou
is a tactical strategy game which features
interactive sequences so the bonds between the
player and the maidens grows ever stronger. Amidst
the carnage of the Warring States, five
principalities emerge with plans to unite the nation
under a single crest.
Characters in the game include Kanu Unchou who appears on the
center of the PS2 game cover,
Chohi Ekitoku, Choun Shiryu, Kochu Kansho, and many
more. At the outset of the game, a lad named Hongo
Kazuto is teleported from the present day to olden
China where war is afoot. Hongo is assaulted by a
group of brigands but Kanu Unchou comes to the
rescue and saves him from certain death. Kanu assumes
him to be a presaged hero who has come to put the
Warring States to rest and bring tranquility back to
the land. By way of coincidence and circumstance,
Hongo eventually joins Kanu in her bid to unite
China.
The limited edition of Koihime Musou includes a fan book and a
bonus DVD.

Game Notes
* The introduction to the game features the various
maidens of the game in a static music video. Static
means that the images are non-animated by screen
effects such as pans and scans give them a semblance
of motion. The song featured in the intro is
"Howling Soul."
* A character gallery and faction roster may be
viewed by checking out the fourth and fifth options
on the main menu.
* The entire BGM soundtrack featured in the game may
be listened to by selecting the sixth option on the
main menu. Upon choosing the BGM section, you'll be
presented with three pages of songs for a total of
42 tracks.
* Upon starting the game, the protagonist is at
school and speaking to a classmate. To toggle
automatic forwarding of the text so that you don't
have to press the "O" button each and every time a
snippet of dialogue is finished, press the "R1"
trigger. To fast-forward through the introductory
sequence, press the "R2" trigger continuously. Be
prepared to spend about 1/2 hour sitting through the
introduction if you let it run at normal speed.
During the course of the dialogue, we learn that the
protagonist is interested in the Warring States of
Chinese history and has considerable knowledge on
the movers and shakers during that pivotal period.
* With a flash of white light, the protagonist is
teleported to Ancient China. Once the light fades, a
hilly expanse lies before his eyes along with blue
skies that are painted with wispy clouds.
* Three brigands appear - a short one, a medium one,
and a really fat one whose belly bulges from beneath
his undersize shirt. Their intent is robbery and
they're about to do their thing when Kanu Unchou
swoops in with fire in her eyes. She wields the Blue
Dragon Crescent Spear and dispatches the thugs.
* The next introductory sequence will take about 45
minutes to play through in realtime at normal speed.
Afterwards, a military campaign kicks off where Kanu
Unchou and a red haired moppet named Chohi Ekitoku
lead a group of troops wearing green and lofting up
a green banner face off against a matching force
wearing yellow fatigues and holding up a yellow
banner. The fighting isn't done in realtime and your
job is to move the troops into up to 10 different
formations and then select various actions for them
to perform. The view is of two large forces arrayed
against each other but there's no animation. Just
some sound effects to indicate each attack (roars
from the crowd) and archers doing their thing (sound
of arrows whipping through the air). Troop counts
may be viewed on the top of the screen for both
sides. As long as your troops are being depleted
slower than the enemy contingent, you have a good
chance of winning. For example, if your formation
consistently allows you to destroy 200 enemy troops
and their counterattack only removes 50 troops from
your ranks, you're on a good trajectory to win the
campaign.
* The developer commissioned voice actresses for the
PS2 conversion of Koihime Musou and they provide
snippets of speech during the digital novel portions
of the game which are plentiful and can run for
30-45 minutes per stretch. Although much of the
dialogue in the game isn't accompanied by voice
acting, portions of it is acted out.
