If so can you recommend any other games with that kind of battle/fighting style?

Happy to see a fellow fan of Dynasty Warrior style games!
Loved them. When I got the one for the PS2 being the nerd I am I actually spent time reading the encyclopedia included in the game about the actual history of those ancient empires. Honestly that would make a great mini series
I agree that the romance of the 3 Kingdoms is a very interesting history period to learn about.
The Sengoku Jidai era in Japan is also very interesting.
I’ll have to check that out. Any key books or shows on that era?
Sengoku Jidai. Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu: Three Unifiers of Japan by Danny Chaplin is probably the best starter book on the era.
I don't know of a historically accurate good show featuring the era but if you want an over the top anime featuring key figures from the Sengoku Jidai period, check out the Sengoku Basara anime. Of course the anime is not going to be very realistic or perfectly historically accurate.
Total War Shogun 2 is a good RTS game that focuses on the Sengoku Jidai era.
