Two reviews for the price of one!
Koei games require two reviews - one for fans of Koei games, and one for everyone else.
For Koei enthusiasts - 60something characters! Hundreds of weapons! POINTS STAGES KEEP HITTING SQUARE AND YOU'LL WIN FOREVER!! Seriously though, 4 storylines and a free-play mode across the entirety of Eastern China? What's not to love! Buy weapons, kill cannon fodder, and upgrade weapons for the next 8 months. Cao Cao has a new outfit, only $4.99 on PSN (200 MSP)!
For everyone else -
There is something very cathartic about hack'n'slash games. They can get repetitive, yes. But chewing through hundreds of enemies without a second thought can be blissful. Upgrade your sword and chop up the bad guys. Listen to some terrible dialogue if you want (or skip it, it hardly matters). But nailing a perfectly-timed combo and dealing hundreds of thousands of points of damage is always considered an accomplishment. Made even better if you jump into a friend's game, there's always an endless wall of flesh to grind through, even after you've beaten every stage.
Keep hitting square. Every so often, tap triangle. And if you're feeling really froggy, press circle. Watch the bodies fly while you laugh. It's good to be the king.
