Are there any other Dynasty Warrior style games like this?
I really like how you have to depend on your troops in this game, rather than being just a 1 man army. What I REALLY, REALLY like is the fact that your allied NPC's don't seem completely useless when compared to many of the other titles. (ESPECIALLY Hyrule Warriors. I love that game, but the fact that Hyrulian Captain can't even fight a basic group of mobs 90% of the time on easy really drives me nuts.) At least on this, your friendly NPCs appear adept at defending and can actually capture enemy towns and cities without you.

Why do people keep saying Bladestorm and Dynasty Warriors are the same kind of game?

You play a character that fights in historically-inspired battles, the similarities end there. Core gameplay mechanics are comepletely different. Just because Koei made both of them? That's like saying AC:Unity and Far Cry 4 are the same kind of game. You even said it yourself, saying is a Dynasty Warriors-style game, but the going on to praise the non one-man-army aspect of it.

Which kind of game are you really looking for?!

A game like this. It reminds me of Dynasty Warriors due to going from town to town, and capturing them like in Dynasty Warriors.

No, not really. You actually missed the point completely.

AC and FC are different games, different titles, both made by Ubisoft. They are similar in that both are open world explorey types that make you climb tall things to reveal the map, but most similarities, save the most basic, end there.

Brotherhood and Unity are both AC games, same gameplay, same mechanics, just different features. If this post was comparing Dynasty Warrior and Hyrule Warriors, then you would be right, but it's not, so you're not.

You missed the point actually. AC and FC are made by two differnt development studios under the same publisher.

However Bladestorm and Dynasty Warriors were both made by the same development studio and publisher.

Actually, FC 4 and AC:U were both developed by Ubisoft Montreal if we're looking at recent examples. Obviously AC:R was developed by someone else since both Rogue and Unity were in development at the same time, but it's all still branches of Ubisoft.

Regardless, the point here is that Bladestorm and Dynasty Warriors is an apple to oranges comparison even if they were both grown in California, while Unity and Brotherhood would be more like granny smith vs red delicious. Yeah, they're different, but they're still both apples.

It's funny how it's an apples and oranges comparison only to you, but obvious to everybody else.

...But it really is more of an Apples and Oranges comparison: gameplay-wise, Bladestorm and the Dynasty Warriors/Musou titles have no common ground. Combat Mechanics are completely different, Overall Battle Flow is different, Character Progression is different - as was mentioned before, the only real similarity between Bladestorm and Dynasty Warriors is that they both have Heavily Dramatized (bordering on and passing into Fantasy) interpretations and representations of historical events.

Unggggg. So many good memories. It's a shame the screwed up when they decided to make Circle of Doom instead of a real game and now they're taking forever to release the MMO.

Oh, and to answer the OP: No, Bladestorm is pretty much unique. As mentioned, there's Kingdom Under Fire, which is surprisingly close, but none of the other Dynasty Warriors titles behave like this, sadly.

When is "soon"? News for the English version is virtually non-existant. :(

Last I heard was a potential Western release (or beta, can't remember which) some time this fall. Don't know if that'll actually happen, mind, but there is a functioning Asian version in existence - so there is hope.

im in the beta of kingdom under fire 2... but it is more of a mmo (free to play)...there is a class system ect more like a mix of a rpg and rts but not in any way action like dynasty warriors...bladestorm would be the closest...even it is not the same kind of strategy gameplay
it would be like comparing call of dufy with farcry 3-4 even if both are shooter it a complete different experience
