Hey folks, I need some help from people with game knowledge even more extreme than mine.

I was doing an iPhone game review and came across the title screen shown below. I know I've seen that artwork somewhere else, but I can't figure out where. The review's written and turned in, but I'm still trying to track down the original art this was based on. I thought it might've been from something like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but no luck. Any ideas?

I does look very reminiscent of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors.

The guy on the right looks very similar to Guan Yu, the guy in the middle looks like a few characters in Samurai Warriors (mainly his pose) and the guy on the left looks like someone from one of those games, maybe the alternative costume for Zhuge Liang .

They've also used the trick of using the same colours used in Dynasty Warriors to represent the Three Kingdoms, namely Wu (Red), Wei (Blue) and Shu (Green), so fans of those games may feel some familiarity.

It's almost like they've based a game on Dynasty Warriors, then transplanted it to Sengoku Japan to avoid trouble... It's not Dynasty Warriors because it's set in Japan, yet it's not Samurai Warriors because the characters resemble people from Dynasty Warriors.

It's mixture of Japanese and Chinese almost reminds me of the 8/16 bit game, Dynasty Wars, so you might want to look at that too.
