Developer Omega Force is no stranger to shaking things up.
After all, the original Dynasty Warriors was a one-on-one 3D fighting game similar to Battle Arena Toshinden.
But it’s not always worked out.
That’s thanks in large part to focusing the story onyou.
Hundreds upon hundreds is no exaggeration.
With it depleted, enemies stagger, opening themselves up to a follow-up attack.
The series has also adapted Nintendo’s strategy series!
But it’s not pure chaos.
Some set-pieces even have you use this power to spot enemy tricks or traps.
Additional characters act only as companions to Ziluan.
But anyone looking to mainline a campaign playing as Sun Shangxiang or Zhang Liao won’t be served here.
The action is better than ever, and the overworld design really helps each skirmish flow into the next.
More than a return to form, this soars high indeed.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins was reviewed on PC, with a code provided by the publisher.
