When Koei Temco realised people were getting bored of the repetitiveness of the dynasty warriors games, they sat down in a board meeting to brainstorm how to make the game interesting again. Good ideas like improving the combat or adding some form of tactics to the game were ignored in favour of making the same game in Japan. Well this is the 2nd one, and as far as I can tell, nothing has changed. You can imagine exactly how this is going to play out without me telling you. Smash X a million times then frisbee the disk out the window.
