I played this, and i think its better than dynasty warriors. Bit more variety. The voice acting is also bad enough for a bit of a chuckle, which is fun.

Tell me about it. Here we go again....

Arcade:
Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom
Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara
Light Bringer
Gaiaopolis
The King of Dragons
Knights of the Round

NES/Famicom:
Double Dragon - Well, you got a point system where you build up the moves you can use...
River City Ransom
Mighty Final Fight
http://www.romhacking.net/trans/226/
http://www.romhacking.net/trans/212/ - Not sure if that really counts. If you kill the needed number of enemies you gain more hit points.

Genesis:
Shui Hu Feng Yun Zhuan (aka: Suiko Fuun Den) - Chinese pirate cart that seems to borrow from King of the Dragons, in terms of style

SNES/Super Famicom:
The King of Dragons
Knights of the Round
http://www.romhacking.net/trans/893/
Shounen Ninja Sasuke(still Japanese only) - I'm not entirely sure if it counts, but it seemed similar to River City Ransom in style

Saturn:
Guardian Heroes
Dungeons & Dragons Collection - the 2 arcade games, Japanese release only
Princess Crown - or is this closer to an action RPG if anyone knows? Also only released in Japan.

PS1:
Soul Reaver - If you consider something akin to Zelda as an RPG, this comes across more like a brawler laid out within an adventure(though possibly more like a 3D metroidvania)

PS2:
You're already familiar with the Koei Warriors series
Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance - borrows a lot of RPG/adventure elements
Soul Reaver 2

X-Box:
Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance
Koei's Warriors series

360:
Crackdown - sort of, you can decide to go strictly melee
Koei's Warriors series

PC:
Soul Reaver
Soul Reaver 2
parts of Koei's Warriors series
tons of emulation options

PSP:
Kenka Banchou series - one is officially translated, very River City Ransom(or at least that translated SNES game)-like
Princess Crown - Still Japanese, if it even counts
Koei's Warriors series

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

Devil Kings (PS2)

I'm not really 100% sure, but from what I remember it was a Samurai Warriors-type game with the characters from Sengoku Basara. The combat is a little bit more over the top, with lightning and huge gigantic boulders and guns and one character even uses his spear as a skateboard.

Sengoku Basara series on the PS2, PS3 and PSP. (Although, PS2's Sengoku Basara X is just a straight 2D fighting game.) It's basically Dynasty Warriors with a lot more character.

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World for the PS3 and X360 is another recent one. Has anyone mentioned Castle Crashers yet, even?
