Dynasty Warriors 26. I mean, Samurai Warriors 18. I mean, Warrior
Is there a reason Koei keeps making these games? Do they really sell? Is there a market for clone after clone after clone after clone of an engine, name, and story? The Dynasty Warriors formula was new and exciting, with Dynasty Warriors 2, a launch game for the PS2. 8 years later, it's not so new and exciting.
This is a very simple review. If you've played one Dynasty Warriors game in your life, you have essentially played this game. And the next DW/Samurai Warriors game. And the next one after that. And after that.
Although as much as I'm slagging it, there is indeed a cheap fun to these kinda games. Yes, it's 8 years dated, but there is an extremely satisfying feeling in getting yourself engrossed into a huge field of enemies, and unleashing a devastating power surge of violence as the foes go flying in all directions. THAT is always worth a rent. But it also won't give you hours of play time. More like a half hour, also seeing as this game is extremely small on extra features and any kind of replay value.
But basically, just as every DW/SW game has been since DW3, this is a desperate rent.
