The guys at Koei seem intent on realising the same game in as many ways possible. Not satisfied with having Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors they decided to combine them into this package, the first in the Warriors Orochi series. It is basically the same hack and slash gameplay as the others Warriors games and if you are familiar with those games, it's more of the same. Of course this is extremely lazy, but it makes for an easy review. What has changed? Well there is one positive. In this game you get to fight as a team of 3 instead just 1. I do welcome this change. Rotating characters when they are low on health and using characters with different move sets for different battles adds a bit of tactics to the otherwise mash X game. The story is also a little bit more interesting but nothing special. I also found this game pretty hard compared to other warriors games, but maybe I just suck. Better than the standard warriors games but still nothing particularly special. Unless you love these, I wouldn't bother picking this up.
