Dynasty Warriors Origins Review - The Best Musou Game in Years?

[@Sigma993]

I honestly thought after how terrible DW9 was and how hard it flopped, that this franchise was dead but I'm so happy it's not. Loved the demo and honestly cannot wait for the release version.

[@Zeroninja-j5c]

Oh yeah they tried to do an open world type of game and wasn’t good that they redid it to the original style in the empires version. In fact I was on the fence with this game when I first saw it but glad it’s amazing.

[@Swillo]

I liked dynasty warriors 9 more but this game is great

[@CosmicVoid_119]

The franchise was dead long before 9 and this crap isn’t gonna change anything

[@Swillo]

@@CosmicVoid_119 absolute lie. Age of calamity is the best selling musou game of all time and it came out after 9

[@Zeroninja-j5c]

Wow a great comeback for dynasty warriors. I m ready for it.

[@KENSHRIOSGUTS]

It's been a good game still how long has it been the best warriors games are not even dynasty warriors the best warriors games are probably the anime games spin offs pirate Warriors 4 to me was the best musou game i played Kens rage 2 and berserk the band of the hawk I think wo long was overrated wo long fallen dynasty to me was better then elden ring I had way more fun with wo long

[@KENSHRIOSGUTS]

I want to see a samurai warriors style game like wo long fallen dynasty

[@2genders-tk2ue]

Yup...finally got it to ps4 and xbox one quality lol. Good thing that game like this aren't about pretty graphics.

[@ezg8448]

@2genders-tk2ue - Agree with you about graphics, but if this is the 10th game in the series, and they clearly make bank off these games. Then you'd expect more frequent updates to their graphics engine. Gotta hold them to a higher standard.

[@TheMyriadTruths]

Though I appreciate that the series has finally embraced the current-gen consoles, the fact that the story mode only lets you play as a single character lessens its appeal to me

[@newo.9173]

@@GreatsharkbiteThe difference is those games you mentioned primarily (if not completely) focused on using a single locked character unlike the Dynasty warriors games.

[@Greatsharkbite]

@@newo.9173 Bro, that makes zero sense. You're talking about a previous entry and this is a new entry AND a reboot. I can do it reverse--in super mario bros 2 you can play as 4 different characters.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Thanks!

[@ItsDatCajunStuff]

I’m glad we finally have an entry that they were willing to throw money at. For years, the presentation has been an afterthought, especially considering we haven’t had an English dub in this series in years.

[@Synest2]

0:57 "Mosou action at its very best" smol typo there.... but anyways, I'm glad the game's good, really wish this drive the development of other musou games, I'd love to see what they can do with Samurai Warriors given they want it to be different from DW, or even other IP's since Koei has done a lot like Berserk, Fire Emblem, TLoZ... Or even other companies, I'd die and kill for a pc port of the Sengoku Basara franchise, and really hoping for it since this year marks the 20y anniversary of the series

[@Hokage-Alpha]

I wish the regional pricing wasn't so awful on Steam. 75% More Expensive according to STEAMDB in my regions, more in other regions.

[@whitefox25]

well maybe your region shouldnt have such a difference from the dollar. Koei cant make the same if u live somewhere where your money is not equal to the Dollar you would be getting it cheaper than everyone else and people would buy keys there to scam the price. thats why this happens people buy keys from poor countries cuz its over cheaper sot hey had to make it all the same

Pre-ordered and ready to go once i get off from work. Just been playing Kingdom Come Deliverence where in 25h of gametime I killed 11 enemies. This is kinda opposite end of the spectrum.

Everything else seems to be exactly what I hoped this series would go for.

The GAMEPLAY is great but the lack of playable characters and co-op utterly destroys it for me and I really hope this isn't the direction the series goes in.

Sometimes, change isn’t for the better. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it-a lesson we learned with Dynasty Warriors 9. Now, with Dynasty Warriors Origins, the decision to reduce a diverse roster of over 80 heroes to just one playable character is a major disappointment. As a long time fan who started with Dynasty Warriors 2 and has played every main installment since, this shift completely undermines what made the series special for me. The ability to choose from a massive roster, level up characters to insane strengths, grind challenging objectives for ultimate weapons, and make even the hardest difficulty feel effortless was the heart of the experience. There’s absolutely no justification for not allowing players to customize the Nameless Wanderer in this installment. This character is entirely fictional within the games universe, so the lack of a “create-a-character” option feels like a glaring oversight. Sadly, this will be a hard pass for me. I hope this series can get back to its roots, I just hope it doesn’t take another 7 years to see it.

[@taccosspicy3014]

In demo MC is puny as f. Your AI team mates are useless. Every 30 sec they beg for help otherwise they get annihilated. MC looks too fruity, since you play non canon character I hoped you'll get to create your own similar to DW9 empires.

It does make sense within the story. It’s kind of realized in chapter 4 and then comes to a head in chapter 5
