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. Most of the great armies of these two periods would succumb to the might of Orochi. Yet powerful warriors remain and are ready to continue the fight.

"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." ... Read full review

"Still the same old, unsubtle scything we expect from a Warriors game, but given extra substance by some neat strategic twists. [Sept 2007, p.98]"

"Warriors Orochi is another fanservice game, plain and simple, and really doesn't appeal to gamers who don't appreciate the "been there, done that" rehash. Because really, despite a few small upgrades, that's all this is." ... Read full review

GamePro
"More a mediocre tribute to past games than a fresh experience. Unimpressive graphics, a mundane fighting system, and a slate of characters borrowed from other titles leaves Warriors Orochi a stale appetizer left on the plate as you wait for the "Dynasty Warriors 6" main course." ...

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 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 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
