so janky it's a little sweet. it's clear they love dynasty warriors and wanted it to work on gba really bad. gameplay is slow, tedious, and unresponsive, while also not feeling rewarding nor giving you any kind of excitement that these games hinge upon. soundtrack does rule though. only recommended to the most dedicated of mosou fans.


For a GBA translation of the series, I thought they didn't do half bad. The individual fights don't last very long and dealing with a wave of moons while you're taking a fat shit chronologically sits well with me. There's a decent sized roster, with different weapons to boot. The music is one of the underrated OSTs of the GBA, the commander battle track being a standout.

It's repetitive and very difficult to go back to considering most phones in our current day can run the PS2 games in the series that were avaliable when this released. I don't know what the context would be where someone would be playing this in a modern setting, but if you ever do, go into it with a bit of patience and you'll probably have a decent time clearing at least one of the game's campaigns.

Music for this game was incredible and since I did not have PS as a child, this was my way to experience the franchise. I loved the RTS touch to the game and I often come back to replay it.

Even if you, like me, have spent 100+ hours enjoying these games, this one's not worth it.

A lot of games attempted to cross over to the GBA. A lot of them failed like this one. Clunky and stiff with mushy controls. This is a chore to play.
