Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate

The best game in the Warriors franchise to date, and a perfect starting platform for any new fan to the series.

If you're a Dynasty Warriors fan or looking to get in the franchise, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is the best choice.

Warriors Orochi 3 isn't likely to change anyone's mind about Omega Force's flagship series, but it's undoubtedly a fan-pleaser of the highest caliber, and an excellent entry point for those who might be curious about the Warriors series.

It’s one solid time-travelling time sink.

Getting a rhythm going as you charge across the battlefield can be quite hypnotic, and while it is easy for anyone to pick up and play, mastering it will take much, much longer.

Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is purely for the hardcore fans of the series, or newcomers wanting to finally jump in.

Once again, I have been pleasantly surprised by Omega Force.

The big question is whether people who have played the game before will get anything out of the upgrade. I do believe there's enough content in there to justify the purchase, and if you're a fan of Warriors games, and somehow missed either of the game's previous releases, you can consider Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate essential. It really is Koei Tecmo's Smash Bros.

Warriors Orochi 3 is a much more accessible Warriors game the most of the others in the series, and as a result becomes a much better experience. The focus here is on the action and the fun, which is wiping out the hordes of enemies and it does so like no other. There are a variety of technical flaws, but the overall experience really out shines all of them.

Even though Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is buried in some slightly lacklustre content, you're definitely getting your money's worth with this shockingly robust package.

Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate represents the latest and final update of the most complete Musou ever released. His new characters and modes make it a highly recommended game for fans of the genre.

With Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate developers shipped so many game modes and new features that most of the hopeless fastidious fans of the Dynasty Warriors genre just had nothing to complain about. In fact, very rarely under the guise of the new revised and enlarged edition of the old title developers offer as many as three different games. [Nov 2014, p.89]

For once a musou game that doesn't take the slash. A must for genre fans who missed the original's release. [November 2014, p74]

The definitive edition (at least on PS4 and Xbox One) of the classic hack´n slash game that appeared previously on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.

Depending on what games you've played before, you'll find more or fewer additions, but this is a great musou, with a deep combat system and some charismatic cameos.

Warriors Orochi's franchise arrives to next-gen with a flawless performance. It is loaded with playable content that will delight genre fans.

Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate allows newcomers to see the start of the improvements to the Warriors series, which at one point was suffering from its own lack of ambition, and turn itself into a worthwhile hack and slash addict’s wet dream.

Two years after its original release, Warriors Orochi 3 has lost some of its charm.

With a huge roster of characters and a long campaign, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is easily one of the best Musou out there, but it's also terribly repetitive, dull and graphically poor.

Overall Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate should please fans of the series - it has plenty of variety in characters. As for anyone else looking to get into the series, this title suffers from the same repetition as the other musou games. You can have quite a bit of fun by making the characters spout unwholesome lines though.
