My Musou ranking

I dont respect myself at all, so i play a lot of musou

Samurai Warriors 2
Samurai Warriors 2
love the cast, and the voice performances. Love the music and sound design. The levels are really beautiful. This is the first one i got really into so i guess it has just stuck with me the most.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2
Story mode is pretty pathetic in this one. But the mission mode is easily my favorite mode in any musou game. And the amount of suits in this game is pretty wild.

Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad

Kinda cool. Definitely over sexualized. My only experience with the game is doing one co-op playthrough, so it was fun and was over before it got boring.

Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends

Mercenary mode is really fun. And when i was 15 i thought motochika was the coolest thing id ever seen.

Gameplay actually feels pretty diverse for a musou game. Having to train up your custom character then playing through their story mode is sick. And just has this dark dramtic vibe that i really like.

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes

Had a lot of fun playing through this once. But each stages gimmicks get pretty tiring when you have to go back to them. My friends and i were pretty obsessed with samurai warriors so it was really cool seeing all the different interpretations of the characters. Theyre all pretty amazing and they try to make them have varied play styles.

Really love destiny mode, but i dont find it all that fun to replay.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam

Best story mode of these gundam musou games. But the game has a real bare bones feel to me.

Doesn't really do anything interesting mechanically, but if you like musou games this is solid. I mostly just find the stages boring and visually unappealing

Dynasty Warriors 7

The story modes are fun.

Very intriguing world and characters, but this game plays like complete ass. And not in a fun janky way.

15

Dynasty Warriors 3

This game is a mess, but its pretty entertaining. some of these battle are a lot more interesting than in the sequels

16

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3

Don't really hate the art style change on its own, but to me it looks worse and doesn't feel very Gundam. Sound/UI design takes a hit. And the presentation of the story mode is just really bland. Games alright though lol. I like gundam and mashing square.

I don't think this game is very good, but I played a lot of it for some reason.

Mystic Heroes

This was the first musou kinda game i ever played. I thought it was amazing seeing so many characters on screen all fighting at once. I tried playing it a bit more recently and it just feels really sluggish and clunky.

19

Samurai Warriors: State of War
Samurai Warriors: State of War
Cool little spin-off thats really held back by the hardware. The tactics stuff is short and simple enough to not get annoying. I like how the stories are structured, and i think Omega-force is good at writing dumb little character exchanges so its pretty fun.

N3: Ninety-Nine Nights
N3: Ninety-Nine Nights
Well the main problem with this game is that its not fun or interesting

21

Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War
Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War
Was pretty excited when I heard this existed. Its kinda interesting because it feels like playing a musou from the perspective of like some random grunt. But this makes a lot of the game feel lacking in personality, and it just is not fun to play.

Always wanted to play this. And then i did. Kind of just feels like a step down from 2 in every way, but at least they still had an english dub

23

Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires

Think this game is fine. Id probably like playing it with other people

Its kind of fun i guess. You get to hang with the aot characters, who arent the best but i dunno

I didnt finish it, but the story mode seems pretty cool in this one. i just really struggle to get into musou games that arent dubbed. I really enjoy the characters dumb ass one liners getting seared into my brain, and that just doesnt work if i dont know the language. Also, while i like a lot of the character redesigns on the own, together the cast have lost a lot of their individual visual identities.

I have played both 4 and 4-2 and i cant really tell my memories of them apart

Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition

So they add challenge mode—which used to be a base game feature—and the lu bu story mode. This just feels really lazy. 8 was already such a minor upgrade from 7. They need to do better than this. They could have at leasted fully voiced the new lu bu content

32

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk

Really lacking playable characters. Also just pretty dull and not a fun way to experience berserk

33

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

I dont like how the story is framed as a time travel thing instead of just a straight up prequel. Also its bad

34

Persona 5 Strikers

Really not impressed by this one. I dont think persona works without the time management stuff. I wasnt charmed by the cast in persona 5, and theyre definitely no better in this.

Terrible game. Weird that it came out after State of War. This is a lot worse
