    For me, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate represents the pinnacle of the Dynasty Warriors PS2 generation before they added all those weird weapon interactions to make it more complex.

The game follows an original story where the last surviving group that tried to fight against the creature known as Orochi travels back in time to prevent their bad future from happening. It is a dramatic turn from the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors games that have redesigned the same maps and battles over and over again. In this one, there are even some modern environments. Each of the 140+ characters have different move sets and different abilities to use. The only problem is that it can take quite a long time to max out a character because you have to level them up to 100 multiple times to ensure that they have max stats.

    One of the things I liked a lot about the game is the weapon customization. You can fuse weapons together and transfer their abilities to one another, giving a weapon properties like extended reach, bonus damage against officers, or recover health when using certain attacks. I found this very useful because it could make even the most worthless of characters tolerable.

    The only problem I have with the battles is that you have to play them out as they are scripted. You often cannot take shortcuts like rushing the boss because you have to open a path to them. This restricts some of the choices and hurts the overall replay value of the game because it limits your strategies.    … Expand

    It's great. It's the best game I've ever seen. The picture is exquisite, the movement is smooth, and the design is exquisite.

    There's still a lot of button mashing, but the over-the-top story and time travel elements helped keep things from getting to repetitive.
