KOEI Cooked with this one

[Shuzakk]

After the dumpster fire that was DW9 and DW9 Empires this game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good.

The brand leader has strong abilities, he is much better than the previous producer.

Yea I am ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazed. I'm abroad so had to run it on deck, which somehow isn't awful but wtf man. Dynasty warriors is actually back holy cow.

I know people will take issue with the whole mysterious protag as potentially the only playable character (I think they are hiding more characters playable in a different mode). I dig it though, the actual gameplay and mechanics are good it's no longer braindead, it's still mashy to an extent but officer fights etc keep you on your toes, especially the battlefield.

It's really really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[HaoleDonburi]

The gameplay is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ incredible that I can't believe it's Dynasty Warriors lol

After playing demo, I have to agree it's finally a good Musou game since....can't even remember the last good one.
Too bad my 28 year-old-ass does not have fun with this type of game anymore :(

Custom characters is what people (including me) have wanted for a very long time, and it looks like they incorporated some of the three kingdoms aspects.

Ever since Samurai Warriors custom characters, where you actually go through training and such, the level of detail and focus on custom characters was underwhelming.

Hopefully this game has a great success and the developers bring out more games with a focus on your character.

feels clunky and boring. won't be buying this.

a more detailed and actually enjoyable Destiny mode from DW5EL would be a welcome sight

Looks like a wolong game than a Dw game. Doesnt have the old fun anime style and vibe about it either.

Yeah this is a huge step up from DW9. I'm sold.

[randomguy01542]

As far as combat goes I ain't feeling it, everything else is impressive but the combat just feels like a dw9.5 to me, they took a step forward than flinched and went back a bit. What I mean by this is we're moving forward from 9, but at the same time we still have stuff like reactive attacks, or a way to counter enemies and sure, and if you like that than that's cool but it ain't for me.

If we get another numbered dw title and the combat doesn't move past this than I'm probably done with dw and their experiments after over 2 decades of playing these games. Hopefully the huge armies of npcs and tactics is something they put in their side games cause sw5 although cutting the cast is more of an evolution in warriors games charge combat than this to me personally.

[🍃🪻🪷Sylvie🩵🍸🍵]

Yup. That's why I'm pre-ordering deluxe edition!

[AbyssalKingManus]

i love DW up to 8, but the combat in this in on a whole different level. once I got into a flow state with lu bu, it gave me that feeling ive been chasing since nioh 2. This game feels like the evolution the musou genre has needed for quite a while now, and i'm 100% on board.

Current director is DW 5 director hence the return to what made it fun

Ironically the previous producer was also that for 7 and 8, while this current one was the director of 6. (His previous DW game was Next for the PS Vita.)
