"Dynasty Warriors 2", "Dynasty Warriors 3", "Dynasty Warriors 5" and "Dynasty Warriors 6" have individual Musou Modes for each character. In "Dynasty Warriors 4", "Dynasty Warriors 7", and "Dynasty Warriors 8", each of the Three Kingdoms has its own Musou Mode, which all characters from a particular kingdom would play. The stages are presented in a third-person view, with the camera set behind the player as they engage the enemy forces. Each scenario can have different win/lose conditions, but the common losing conditions (defeat of the commander-in-chief, health bar reaching zero and maximum time limit reached) still hold. As for the other characters not from either of the Three Kingdoms, their Musou story modes are purely fictional since in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", most or all of them were eliminated until only the Three Kingdoms were left.
