![]() Likewise you can create your own character as well but the customization options are very limited. There are a lot of different characters to play from, 44 in total, but the rudimentary nature of the combos system means they all feel pretty similar to play as. It’s a shame that the main gameplay of SW3 feels so dated, as a lot of the content on the disc looks very good on paper. Not only is the action not particularly inspiring but the plot and dialogue are paper thin and, even though there is a vast roster of characters to choose from, none of them are particularly memorable or three-dimensional. This is oddly not present in Samurai Warriors 3 and it all just feels very dull and plodding now in comparison. 2008 saw the 6 th title in the Dynasty Warriors series, which introduced a new engine that made the game feel more fast paced and addictive. I think the biggest problem with the core mechanics of SW3 is the lack of desire it instils in you to keep playing. I tried this out in an effort to test it and literally no one was online. You can also play co-op over the Nintendo Wi-fi connection, (in the Murasame castle mode only for some strange reason) but this isn’t really a valid option. It goes a long way to alleviate the repetitive nature of the game’s basic mechanics and playing it with a mate can be a good laugh in small doses. On the plus side you can play all game modes with a friend in split-screen. The AI is bad, and in ten years you think this aspect of the series may have been corrected. Too often do you find yourself having to defend countless AI partners and generals, while they sit scratching their heads wondering if they should be helping in any meaningful way. The feeling that you are the only competent member of your army. While on the topic of the one man army feeling the series does so well, it must be noted that a key problem that has plagued the series has yet to be fixed. Whoever thought taking down an army single handedly would be as easy as pressing A a lot? It’s still satisfying fighting through hundreds of AI single-handedly, but this is very lazy game design. You still have light and heavy attacks, you can still ride horses, and your super-powered musou attacks still clear the screen. ![]() Aside from these pitiful attempts to improve the formula it’s exactly the same. The only key differences in the game are a spirit dash move that can extend your combos and items you can use mid-battle that might boost your stats or give your character a health boost. That said it certainly has become a little stale over the years, and the lack of changes in the gameplay hasn’t helped this one bit. It’s the same basic, but enjoyable third person hack and slash gameplay we knew and loved ten years ago. The battles you participate in are the same as they were in the previous two SW titles and the gameplay is unchanged from any of the previous Omega Force games: There are loads of bad dudes. Right away the loose basis on historical events is a clear sign that this game will be no different to its prequels, as between Samurai Warriors 2 and 3 it is highly unlikely that this chunk of history has mysteriously changed. Samurai Warriors 3 is loosely based on, not surprisingly, the samurai era of ancient Japan and ties into the great battles of the era with a questionable amount of historical accuracy. The dated visuals and engine however, combined with the sheer lack of advancement in the gameplay make this mediocre sequel little more than a brand new way for gamers to have their wallets pillaged once again. The newest game in the series, Samurai Warriors 3, isn’t necessarily an awful game. A decade later and Omega Force has shamelessly re-released the same game about fifteen times over, adding virtually nothing to the existing formula with each new iteration. We've updated this list with even more games to play if you love Dynasty Warriors, from new Omega Force-developed titles to new entries in the ever-expanding Warriors genre.Who keeps buying these games year after year? Seriously? I recall playing Dynasty Warriors 2 on the PS2 back in 2000 and it was pretty fun. Updated on March 23, 2023, by Jacob Whaling: The Musuo franchise is still going strong, with new releases all the time. ![]() Below, we'll take a look at some of the best games to play if you haven't gotten enough Dynasty Warriors. It’s the simplicity in its gameplay that appeals to fans of the genre as well as the power fantasy of feeling like an unstoppable warrior on the battlefield. There are very few games that can provide the same kind of power fantasy as the Warriors franchise. ![]() While some critics accuse the series of being repetitive with shallow gameplay mechanics, the series’ fans are more than happy to sink hours upon hours laying waste to thousands of enemies on the battlefield. The Dynasty Warriorsseries is one of the most prolific in the hack-and-slash genre, with devout fans that eat up every game.
