   TRUE Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors fan game. Mixes both of the genres into one epic story. The best Orochi game to date. The amount of characters is insane, you're going to constantly forget who to play as. Tons of bosses and for the first time in WARRIORS history an EDIT LEVEL MODE! Great game by far. Sad thing is, it's hated so much in the West we only got Japanese voices.… Expand

   Really enjoying this game so far, I love the changes they've made throughout this series. Though I haven't played the previous WO games, I really enjoy the battle system where I can switch constantly unleashing hell. Many of the things that bothered me about these games, such as archers/rifleman being broken as hell, have been fixed and the new way they've handled weapons (you can fuse your old ones into your new ones) makes it so you don't just toss away the weapon you worked so hard to upgrade.
   
   Overall I gave the game a 9 (more an 8.5), because although the game is a blast it does have some things that bring it down. First of all would be that some of the enemy officers can do an obscene amount of damage with their musou attacks, often killing your character during it's duration as you're stun-locked the whole time. The other being what other people generally gripe about is that although they have refined many aspects of the game, it still feels very much like every other game in the series, which means if you have recently played other games of the genre, you may lose interest in this game rather quickly.… Expand

   My score's really a 7.5, not an 8. I'm really enjoying this so far, I'm on chapter 3 but only just. The whole back and forth storyline is a little jarring, eg chapter 3 comes before chapter one, then chapter 2 and 4, but it doesn't really matter. The 'storyline' is only there for you to kill thousands of enemies in every battle. It's more in depth than the Dynasty Warriors games, the Japanese voice actors work a lot better than the terrible english voice actors, and the in battle events, like the cut scenes, remind me of Dynasty Warriors 3 which was previously my favourite DW game along with DW7. This is undoubtedly a great hack and slash game, I love it and will be putting serious time into it over the next few weeks to max out some characters, get the best team together and beat the game. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is awesome adding over 120+ characters! and tons of stages!
   But severly neglected the story , serously, the plot just seems like an excuse rather an intricated story.
   Koei/Omega Force didn't went deep into any of those characters, they all appear once or twice saying some bland and tasteless dialog and nver to be seen again interacting with no one.
   The Allied AI is utterly useless, is the weakest ever, i've seen an allied SunCe taking 2 minutes to beatdown an archer...AN ARCHER!
   Plus they (The allies) don't fight the enemies, they just run from point A to point B and randomly run in cirlces hoping to hit something with that attitude, plus if you're ever in trouble and looking for some allied help, forget it, the allies RUN AWAY FROM YOU like if you were on fire or got the plague, they "Make room" for the hordes of enemies to finish you.
   
   Forget about 2p splitcreen or Online MP, this game is THE WORST EVER on the disappearing soldiers and officers issue.
   
   All in all is a fun game, but Koei/Omegaforce just make and effort in adding tons of characters and stages and completely neglected the Story, AI behaviour and 2p Splitscreen option.… Expand
