When starting, you create a squad of three heroes of which you eventually unlock 170, which is an insane amount bearing in mind every single one controls slightly different. It’s disappointing not to have major upgrades to the formula, but why fix what’s not broken for the hardcore fans? When first taking part in the Single-Player mode, you’ll be given story missions to undertake and it will all be familiar to anyone who has played this type of game before. Despite some slightly confusing dialogue choices, the story is delivered with a confident approach and it’s every youthful heroes do a good job of making the narrative enjoyable.įrom iteration to iteration there are minor improvements made with each new Warrior’s title.

However, there was a playful charm to the interactions that I enjoyed and they do serve an adequate function in the base gameplay mechanics.Īs with any Musou title with this many characters, interactions between them can feel forced and much of the story feels like an excuse to simply bring in as many characters from across these three series as possible. These were typically Japanese, in that some of the translations were strange and awkward. A nice and interesting use of fleshing out the experience was with the entirely optional story interactions between you and your ever-growing roster of characters. This is where the story is fleshed out, but I found it difficult to read during an intense battle and concentrate on 500 enemy soldiers trying to kill me. There are plenty of over-the-top characterization where the feudal leaders overdramatized interactions play out and plenty of exposition in combat as well. The story involves trying to find out why he reformed this parallel world, to begin with and why any of these Warriors are there in the first place. Soon though, it becomes apparent the king of the gods himself Zeus is behind everything. One by one the forces of these scattered factions join together with help from Nobunaga, who has seemed to have harnessed the power of one of eight mysterious bracelets. The heroes from across the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors universe, all 170 characters, find themselves thrust together in an unknown time and place. Dynasty Warriors 9 was the last and most egregious Warriors game to date, but with the Nintendo Switch finally landing a Musou title of their own it was time to dive back on the battlefield yet again. However, it was the repetition and confusing stories that perpetuated many of those experiences and never made the Warriors games truly shine. It was a great feeling to single-handedly turn the tides of battle and feel like a bad-ass while doing it. I can still remember my young 12 year-old self-playing Dynasty Warriors on my PlayStation 2 blown away by the sheer numbers of on-screen enemies. To say I’m a huge Warriors fan is an understatement.
