We have been here before. Dynasty Warriors Origins is the tenth mainline entry in a franchise that has spun out into samurai, giant robots, JRPG heroes, and even the odd Hyrulean legend along the way.
But Dynasty Warriors is where it all started, where the Musou hack and slash genre began, and with Dynasty Warriors Origins the team at Omega Force are starting once more, reimagining their headline series for the modern day.
Our hands on was a commanding four hours long, and crucially, when time was called, we didn’t want to stop!In the moment-to-moment gameplay, this is classic Dynasty Warriors.
While it might be a reset for the series, your approach to battle is the same here as it has been across all of the Musou games.
Red indicators on the map show you where enemy strongholds and officers are, and you make your way to them to support the allied forces, and to progress the battle further, gaining ground as you go.
