Dynasty Warriors is a 1997 fighting game developed by Omega Force and published by Koei for the PlayStation. It is a "one-on-one" fighting game, preceding the hack and slash format of later games in the series.

Contemporary gaming journalists noted Dynasty Warriors for being a startling departure from the strategy games that Koei was known for. Upon release, it was greeted as a success in this regard by most critics.
