  • Summary: Without warning, the Serpent King Orochi descended from the heavens. Using his unworldly powers to shatter time and space, Orochi kidnapped the strongest, wisest and most courageous warriors from Ancient China and Feudal Japan to test his might against the heroes of these ages.

    With over 70 playable characters, you're sure to be going for a while. [Nov 2007, p.89]

    Warriors Orochi combines the characters and features of two successful franchises into one game, but the convoluted crossover storyline, unimpressive production values, and lack of major innovation aren’t likely to have new players ready to enlist.

    It's the same solid game you've been playing since "Dynasty Warriors 2" came out back in 2000.

    Hugely samey and mostly joyless. [Nov 2007, p.84]

    Ignore the critics, this game is the only DW/SW game you need until DW 6. The combo variety has really been upped hugely with the R1 special attack variants, musou combos, character switching, weapon customization... all on top of the smoothest and fastest paced combat in the series.… Expand

    I am a HUGE Dynasty Warriors fan and have been since DW2. I never did get into Samurai Warriors, but that could be due to trying to start with the Empires games, which aren't my style (cumbersome interface, false sense of strategy). All that being said, I find Warriors Orochi to be nearly unplayable. I've never had an issue with the difficulty of these games before, but even with more-than-reasonable leveling you are overpowered rather than superpowered. The appeal of these games has always been one character who can (beyond reason) plow through hundreds of opposing warriors. In Orochi, you are battered by minions and rendered immobile by officers constantly. It leaves you with a feeling of helplessness and frustration - it took me five tries to beat even the second (one star difficulty) battle. Besides the combat, I find the menu system to be completely unintuitive. Some nice options from the previous games are incorporated, such as leveling weapons, but for the most part having to organize/combine weapons or officers appears to be pointless and time-consuming.… Expand
