THE PAPER TRAIL
A company. Many kinds of games.
Koei’s history reaches back to early computer games, well before its later action series. The first Dynasty Warriors was a fighting game; the later crowd-battle format should not be projected onto every earlier release. Read the historical reference ↗
Games are grouped by catalogue year; entries sharing a year are ordered by title. Platform lists can include later ports. These connections establish chronology, not direct creative influence or ownership of every game.
