In any case, it’s a lot of fun to just try out all of the different styles. I like weapons with huge sweeping arcs to kill lots of enemies quickly and those that have a way to quickly take down enemy heroes who are blocking. Due to the vast differences in movesets, some weapons are much better than others. However, each character has a weapon-type with which he or she gets a special EX attack, so you’d naturally want to use that in at least one of your two weapon slots. Each character can actually use any weapon and movesets are tied to weapons, not the character. I looked up and saw that there are a total of 82. So long as you play at anything below Chaos difficulty, even the enemy heroes aren’t much of a challenge, provided that you’re careful to keep from being mobbed.įor extra fun, there are a ton of characters to play.
More than any other title, including Western ones, this game makes you feel like an insanely overpowered superhero. You kill large numbers of them with every sweep of your weapon and send entire mobs flying away with special attacks. The hero characters are all superhumanly strong of course so the lowly peons are no threat at all regardless of numbers.

What makes this series stand out is that there can be thousands of combatants in a level, so many that they literally fill the entire screen. The combat mechanics are the usual fighting game stuff, down to an energy meter that refills as you kill enemies and that you can spend to unleash special attacks. You can also equip them with better weapons that drop or that you buy or craft. Characters progress under a highly simplified RPG-type system, becoming more powerful as they gain levels. You play a hero-type character who needs to run around the level to complete key objectives, which typically involve defeating enemy heroes. These peons keep spawning throughout the entire battle.
You have a large level filled with many AI-controlled soldiers fighting for both sides. It’s pretty similar to the Star Wars Battlefront games which I’ve played before. Just in case, you don’t know what this series is about, it’s an action game in which you play characters from the Three Kingdoms era roughly following the story of the novel. Since a PC port of one its newest versions is now available on Steam, I thought I’d give it a shot. I’d played both its signature strategy game as well as stuff like Nobunaga’s Ambition early in my PC-gaming career, but I’ve never actually played anything in its Dynasty Warriors series though I understand that this is where the bulk of their sales in the modern era comes from. Koei seems like a company that makes a living making nothing but games based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
