To love Musou games is to love the mythological and silly nature it injects into its subject matter. It's lovely.

I don't think there's anyone in the world who loves these games for the way they feel or the gameplay systems or anything like that. It's about The Romance of Three Kingdoms being taken to an absurd and camp-y conclusion. It's in the retelling of a massive historical event in such a fun and loving way. It sparked my interest in ROT3K and I've loved this game for all of my life. It's got tens of characters with their own individual sets of "campaigns", with later levels wildly varying from other characters, because they delve into hypothetical rather than following the actual historical outcome. It has a (relatively) extensive section dedicated to a timeline of the era and reasonably descriptive biographies for every character in the game, even secondary general/lieutenants/etc. It just wants you to laugh and have fun with it, and maybe learn something if you find anything in it interesting.
