I haven't played this game on the Wii U or the 3DS so this was a new experience for me. Sure, i had encountered some problems on the go, not the best experience in handheld mode, but it was simply amazing playing this game. The soundtrack is working so well with the gameplay. Talking about gameplay , it's simply entertaining to slice everything in your way and capture points. I give this game a 10/10 because it was a new experience for me and everything wrong with the game was nothing compared to the hours of joy that i had in this game. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! ( especially if you haven't played on any other platform ).… Expand

   As usual, just ignore the game journalists who gave this game THE SAME RATING as the Wii U version, despite the fact that it adds every bit ofAs usual, just ignore the game journalists who gave this game THE SAME RATING as the Wii U version, despite the fact that it adds every bit of extra content from both the Wii U and the 3DS version, and vastly increases the graphics from 720p/30fps to a full 1080p/60fps. Nothing so far has suggested that the Switch was capable of doubling the frame-rate of a last generation game AND upping the resolution from 720p to 1080p. Usually last generation games are only increased from 720p to 1080p. The Switch may be more powerful than we thought. It's a pity all they did with Breath of the Wild was up it from 720p/30fps to 900p/30fps with slightly enhanced visuals. With massive graphical improvements and ton of content, this easily the best port of a last generation game on the Switch. So the game journalists can buzz off. Whenever they post videos of themselves playing games, we see that they're terrible of them. Would you trust a movie review from somebody who knows jack squat about movies? I'm not claiming I've beaten I Wanna Kill the Kamilla 3 or IVAN, but I have beaten Nethack and I Wanna Be the Guy, which is way more than any game journalist can say.
   
   Anyway, it's good that this was ported to the Switch because it's better than Fire Emblem Warriors. There is more variety in the enemies and the boss battles are more interesting. Also, the characters are more iconic. The only completely new edition to the Switch version is that you can play as Champion Link and thicc Zelda from Breath of the Wild. However, since these are my favorite designs of the two characters, I think it's a nice addition
   
   The gameplay is fun, and if you've played any of the Warriors games you should know what to expect. Lot's of hack and slash action where you swap between characters on the battle field and try to control checkpoints while your armies battle it out with the enemy armies. The story is pretty good too, better than Fire Emblem Warriors. The more powerful enemies and bosses do need quite a bit of skill to beat. I while I wouldn't know for sure yet, I've heard you can get 200 hours of gameplay out of this game. So you get tons of hours of play, 1080p/60fps, and iconic Zelda characters, plenty of reasons to buy it.
   
   Downsides of the game are that even at 1080p/60fps it's still nowhere close to the best looking games on the Switch. Another issue is that most of cutscenes are in 720p/30fps, which is a little jarring. And yes, it's a little repetitive. Still if you buy any Warriors game, this is the one to get. I give it an 8.5 out of 10, which I'll round up to a 9.… Expand

   Look, Hyrule Warriors is just a Dynasty Warriors game with Zelda skins. I’ve heard it before, Dynasty-style games are divisive among the gamerLook, Hyrule Warriors is just a Dynasty Warriors game with Zelda skins. I’ve heard it before, Dynasty-style games are divisive among the gamer community: you like them or you don’t. The two biggest criticism against Dynasty games is that they are button-mashers and repetitive; which is a somewhat fair description. However, the games are much more than what it’s top two criticism may infer. The levels in the games have objectives that must or may be met. For me personally, that’s the fun part: managing the action in the game. So, really, the game is much more than a repetitive button-mashers.
   In terms of Zelda, I love all the great content! I’ve played most of the Zelda universe games and it’s a pleasure to play as characters I’ve never had the opportunity to play as before. There are mountains of collectibles to attain: weapons, new characters and skins, companion fairies, new stages, etc. I’ve easily spent 200+ hours trying to collect everything available; I don’t think I am even half way done! If you are a true Zelda fanatic, do yourself a favor and pick up the game if you haven’t played any of its versions before. If you already know you don’t like Warrior games, skip the game and look elsewhere for something more inline with your tastes.… Expand

   I was torn between 7 and an 8. I actually really enjoy this game, though, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.
   
   Major downsides to beI was torn between 7 and an 8. I actually really enjoy this game, though, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.
   
   Major downsides to be aware of:
   
   - The camera is intuitive, but if you try to control it as you run, it is a nightmare, as it keep trying to autocorrect
   
   - For a game that is supposed to tell you where to go and what missions to take on, I've often found myself wandering and wondering. Then suddenly the mission fails. It takes trial and error over and over until you finally discover some obscure thing.… Expand
