Gameplay
Players choose from 13 characters based on Chinese history, battling through 180 battle maps. Each character has similar attacks to their counterparts in the other Dynasty Warriors games. The character development system is also present in the game, which allows the player to collect a large multitude of weapons for each character.
Like the other Dynasty Warriors games, the play modes are Free Mode, Musou Mode and Challenge Mode.
Unlike the non-portable-console Dynasty Warriors Games, there are a set number of possible positions for the characters. You can go up to two spots back and one spot forward. However, the player can only move when it says "Player Move." When it is an "Ally Move" or an "Enemy Move," the player can not perform any functions.
The abilities to jump, build Musou, and shoot arrows in battle from the previous games were omitted from Advance. Also, characters' speech is all in subtitles, with no voiceovers. Though that there is dialogue when a character defeats an officer. Most commonly "Enemy officer defeated".
