What kind of beast Voxel Musou is: rules, tricks and a few tips

The igrasu.ru catalog holds hundreds of games, and this is one people keep coming back to. Here is how it works and how to get the most out of it.

What this game is

Voxel Musou is a browser action game in the spirit of Dynasty Warriors, built on the Three.js engine. You are Zhao Yun, spear-general of the Shu kingdom, and three hundred Wei soldiers stand against you. The arena is endless: the longer you survive, the higher the knocked-out counter climbs. There are no image assets — the voxel world, the spear, the crowd of soldiers, the sparks of every hit and the swirling "musou" particles are all generated right in the browser, and every sound is synthesized with the Web Audio API, from the whistle of the shaft to the roar of the ranks.
