Take the two most brutal times in Chinese and Japanese history, cross them over with some multiversal snake magic and you Warriors Orochi. Both the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors game series tell the same basic story time and time again and while a lot of people might have issue with it, there is a charm to seeing what gets changed and get interpreted with each iteration. Warriors Orochi decides to throw that idea to the wayside and create an original crossover plot ala Super Robot Wars. It's fun to see how characters interact with the other franchise and even those within the same franchise tossing aside some of their differences in order to combat a greater threat. As the series goes on things get more chaotic but at the same time it's amazing seeing these warriors form some of the most violent time periods in human history do their damndest to fight for a peaceful and better tomorrow and honesty they get pretty close. While Warriors Orochi 1 did get a PC port and I would love to see that, Orochi Z is the first two games together in one package. While it never came to the West the original releases Oroch 1 and 2 did so it shouldn't be too hard to get an English localization when the work is already done outside if putting it into the game. Even if they don't add the English dub, I'm sure most fans of the series would like to see this game finally come Westward.

Warriors orochi must be my favorite KOEI saga, i like it more than Dynasty and Samurai musou, But sadly this game is nowhere! it's very difficult to access, plus the game is only in Japanese.
This game has a PC version that's Japanese language only, so all you'd need is to get the PC files and translate them. Also this is the only Orochi game that was never released outside of Japan and it has extra content not in Warriors Orochi 1 & 2.
Those games also need your vote!

Gauntlet Dark Legacy
Gauntlet Dark LegacyGauntlet Dark Legacy is the follow-up to Gauntlet Legends and another installment in the long-running Gauntlet series of hack-and-slash action games. As with all the Gauntlet games, you play a medieval fantasy character who, along with allies if you have them, fights his or her way through hordes of evil creatures on the never ending quest for more gold and perhaps even an eventual goal. This version contains the characters and levels from Gauntlet Legends, plus the new characters and levels from the Dark Legacy arcade game, with a few extra levels thrown in. There are eight characters to initially choose from: the mighty Warrior, the deadly Valkyrie, the quick-footed Archer, the powerful Wizard, the spellcasting Sorceress, the stalwart Knight, the valiant Dwarf, and the chaotic Jester. Although there are similarities between characters from the two games, each character looks and plays differently. In addition, there are eight alternative-modes for these characters to unlock, plus dozens of secret characters to obtain. With a multi-tap, up to four players can play, with rules governing how much they can hurt each other. Unlike the original Gauntlets, the levels you'll face take place in various terrain from forests to mountains to volcanic plains. Many of the monsters are familiar to old fans of the series, but there are some new blood among the ranks of evil, including some rather large foes.

Gauntlet
GauntletThe players, up to four at once in the arcade version, select among four playable fantasy-based characters; Thor the Warrior, Merlin the Wizard, Thyra the Valkyrie, or Questor the Elf. Each character has his or her own unique strength and weaknesses. For example, the Warrior is strongest in hand-to-hand combat, the Wizard has the most powerful magic, the Valkyrie has the best armour and the Elf is the fastest in movement. Upon selecting a playable character, the gameplay is set within a series of top-down, third-person perspective mazes where the object is to find and touch the designated exit in every level. An assortment of special items can be located in each level that increase player's character's health, unlock doors, gain more points and magical potions that can destroy all of the enemies on screen. The enemies are an assortment of fantasy-based monsters, including ghosts, grunts, demons, lobbers, sorcerers and thieves. Each enters the level through specific generators, which can be destroyed. While there are no bosses in the game, the most dangerous enemy is "Death", who can not only drain a character's health, but is difficult to destroy. As the game progresses, higher levels of skill are needed to reach the exit, with success often depending on the willingness of the players to cooperate by sharing food and luring monsters into places where they can be engaged and slaughtered more conveniently. While contact with enemies reduces the player's health, it also slowly drains on its own, thus creating a time limit. When a character's health reaches zero, that character dies. The character can be revived in place with full health by spending a game credit (i.e. inserting a coin) within a certain short time window after it died. This allows even the least proficient players to keep playing indefinitely, if they are willing to keep inserting coins.
