This game is a fucking anomaly
KT was smoking some wild shit in the studio when they made this game and I'm gonna need them to do it again. The age progression in this game needed to be a staple for every warrior's series after but sadly that didn't happen. I believe the reason it's not happening is because of the story implications. This story is WAY too good for a musou game and I have to problems with it. Starting as Masayuki at a younger age and having him progressively get older enjoying his story only to switch to a young Yukimura was soooo good. Each battle flows so well with the story and with the dialogue on the field, during cutscenes, and outside of combat koei was able to produce a level of care no other warriors game has done.
The final battle...Yukimuras final moveset and being in the middle of straight hell was one of the best musou experiences almost ever and the soundtrack on top of it was perfect. If KT wants to push the series even further all they need to do is copy this game and refine it.
