  • Dynasty Warriors: Origins reviewed by Jada Griffin on PlayStation 5, also available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
    If Dynasty Warriors: Origins is meant to be a new beginning, it’s off to a masterful start. It doesn’t just have the largest amount of enemies the series has thrown on screen at once, it also deepens its combat, improves its storytelling without getting in the way of the action, and provides a healthy amount of replayability and postgame content - all while looking better than ever. Your amnesiac hero is a bit too much of a blank slate at times, but the impressive ensemble cast make this story sing. Origins is both a great entry point for newcomers and a triumphant return for veterans who felt the last few entries had become stale or missed the mark.

      I was hugely disappointed when I heard of lack of characters. However having a ton of weapons and visuals gave me some hope. It looks like gameplay over content. Story over variety. I knew it would be about execution. Execution looks solid. I'll buy after early access ended.

      That's also the only reason why I'm not interested in actually buying it even though I'm really excited with how the game overall looks. If you don't want to give us character creation, then make the character an actual character instead of a puppet you control. And if you don't want to actually make a compelling character and want to make a placeholder character for us to play instead, then let us customize and personalize that character. I simply don't understand why they can't just copy paste DW Empire's character creation system or something because I would've been totally fine with that even though I don't really like DW Empire's character creation system.

Glad to see they stuck with their niche audience and continue improving over the years regardless of the missteps.

      The more characters, the worse the games got in my opinion, less focus on each one while every character essentially plays the same in a series that is the definition of a button basher, in the end after so many games it doesn't matter what weapon or style your favorite character uses, because everything ends up in fire, flames lasers, projectiles and scores of K.O's, little else, it seems like Koei understands this and wants to make the essentials relevant while adding real gameplay

    I was in high school when the PS2 was released. I was working minimum wage and saved every penny I could to buy one. The 2 games i bought with it was Tekken Tag and Dynasty Warriors. There was a shortage of supplies at the PS2 launch and luckily i had reserved and paid for mine in full months in advance and was able to get one on release day. Most of my friends were not so lucky.
    Since the PS2 was released in Japan months before the U.S.A. there was a ton of hype preceding the U.S. launch as video game magazines would have articles and screenshots and we couldn't believe how great the graphics looked. That first weekend after release me and my friends played Tekken and Dynasty Warriors non-stop for like 2 days straight.
    Dynasty Warriors instantly became one of my favorite game franchises and for the first time in 20 years I feel that same hype heading into this game's release. I cant wait to play this.

      @@iregidani2603 I'd suggest checking out the demo to see if you like it. I didn't like the fictional singular character either, but after playing it, it honestly is the most polished combat I have played in a DW game and I forgot I was playing as a random nobody a few minutes into the game. The movement feels better, the game is more challenging with a parry system, actually dangerous peons and the return of duels, and there's a lot of callbacks to the PS2 generation. Also helps that it looks better visually and isn't buggy on release like DW9 and DW9 empires had been. It's like all of their effort not spending time making the roster ended up making the gameplay, optimization and everything else much better than ever before, it feels like a proper bigger budget game

      From my short time with the demo, there's no grand strategy levels of planning like in Total War series. Just minor heat of the moment decisions to slightly shift the fight directly in front of you in your favour. You get a small contingent of soldiers that follows you, and you can take 3 stratagems with you to the battlefield to command them with - such as commanding your soldiers to do a full charge forward to make clearing for you if you want to go straight to an enemy general or just to get to the other side, or have them surround an enemy general thus giving you an opening to attack or a moment to retreat, or to stand ground and rain arrows at the opposing army's positions while they're busy with your allied generals' soldiers. There are other stratagems for sure, but those are the only ones I played with.

    I was absolutely convinced that this will be a great game after playing the demo. It's not just brainless hack and slash combat anymore there's actual dodging/parrying(seems they've borrowed a few things from Nioh/Wolong). You are not going to go in solo into a 100 soldiers and come out on top. A bit of strategy is also incorporated where you need to carefully plan your actions or risk getting your allies killed. All in all it looks to be a musou game with actual effort being put into it other than just hack and slash simulator 2000 I am way to hype for this as a long time musou games fan.

    So does this game play like the OG games but with a newer system? I wasn’t a huge fan of 9 cuz of what they did to it the game at first. After some updates it got way better.

      yes but you do miss out on playing as all the other officers and the co-op experience but the rest of the core experiences are there and imo feel better than ever.

    Sometimes, change isn’t for the better. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it-a lesson we learned with Dynasty Warriors 9. Now, with Dynasty Warriors Origins, the decision to reduce a diverse roster of over 80 heroes to just one playable character is a major disappointment. As a long time fan who started with Dynasty Warriors 2 and has played every main installment since, this shift completely undermines what made the series special for me. The ability to choose from a massive roster, level up characters to insane strengths, grind challenging objectives for ultimate weapons, and make even the hardest difficulty feel effortless was the heart of the experience.
    There’s absolutely no justification for not allowing players to customize the Nameless Wanderer in this installment. This character is entirely fictional within the games universe, so the lack of a “create-a-character” option feels like a glaring oversight.
    Sadly, this will be a hard pass for me. I hope this series can get back to its roots, I just hope it doesn’t take another 7 years to see it.

      Amen. Instead of playing actual historical legends, we're stuck with the generic nobody. I haven't seen a design choice this stupid since Fate Samurai/Remnant chose to make the player character a boring powerless human instead of any of a hundred characters from the franchise with badass abilities/powers.

None of you were expecting more from a series known for slapping together the same game, adding a new mechanic which is basically "Bash harder", removing everything that made the previous game a decent challenge, putting in two insignificant "cutey characters" for each side on top of the rest and calling the day? What nobody expected was a game of this caliber...

    Only thing I don't like is why they went in the direction of having us stuck with the protagonist rather than letting us select characters as usual..or just allow us to create a character instead.
