An Underrated Gem
I know it's a mindless hack and slash game and it doesn't exactly have the best resolutions and at times the voice acting and stories are contrived.
But this game is an underrated gem. It's extremely addictive, and will consume hours of your life if you give it a chance to. There are tons of weapons and characters and outfits to unlock and upgrade and a few really interesting scenarios to play. Some of the characters are actually interesting, there's a lot of content, and the game has a ton of replay value and can be a lot of fun to play with friends.
If you've played dynasty warriors you've played this only with different characters and on different maps. Yes it's the same game over and over, but you know what? Each time it's the same game with new content and a few improvements. Yes it's easy and mindlessly repetitive, but you know what? IT'S FUN! Critics judge games like this too harshly.
