    For a big blockbuster game, this one sure has a lot in common with Bejeweled. And no, I'm not hating on Bejeweled, but it's basically just something satisfying that you do to waste time.

And no, I'm not hating on Bejeweled, but it's basically just something satisfying that you do to waste time. Swing your weapon around, and watch enemies die: that's the game. Repeat. It does have a particularly satisfying sense of progression, though - your favorite character goes from feeble to undefeatable in a fairly linear and satisfying way, and if you ever want to ramp up the difficulty, there are always a hundred more characters you've never considered playing with who are still enfeebled. Overall, I'd categorize this game as a guilty pleasure; it's the kind of game you might sink forty hours into and then insist to your friends that you were playing something that was actually good.… Expand

    You probably know by now what you're getting. There's a ridiculous number of characters to use, and it will take an ungodly amount of time to maximize them all. However, there's little reason or incentive to. I think it's the best Warriors / Musuo game to date, but it may be time they try at least a little innovation?

I think it's the best Warriors / Musuo game to date, but it may be time they try at least a little innovation?

    My biggest gripe is the amount of times I lose suddenly out of nowhere because I was in the wrong location, with no indication where the right location was. It feels like the illusion of choice. I am led to believe it's open and I can go anywhere and fight anyone, explore around a bit. In reality, there's a right place to be and a wrong place to be and figuring that out is the entirety of the game.    … Expand

    For all the musou lovers it's pretty good game as it has a huge character roster, including cameos from other games like Dead or Alive, Atelier, Soul Calibur, a long (but uninspiring) story campaign and lots of modes. This is the definite Warriors Orochi 3 version though so most of the content and modes are cause of the several editions the game received.

    The best in the series, the story is very good mixing Chinese and Japanese mythology, the gameplay is fluid and have good addictions and new strategies, the graphics still needing some new textures and more definition but after all it's a remastered version from previous generation.

    - Más de 100 personajes jugables, todos con habilidades diferentes.
    - Crossovers con franquicias como DOA y Soul Calibur.
    - No solo es un crunce entre los 3 reinos y japón feudal, sino que llega más lejos, con la aparición de ciertos guerremos formidables de la historia pertenecientes de otros lugares, como por ejemplo Nemea y Aquiles.
    - Una campaña enorme, contando con dos formas de catalogar la dificultad, siendo en cada mapa posible ser elegido en cinco dificultades distintas y ademas cada mapa posee un valor de estrellas de forma permanente, siendo por ejemplo mucho más dificil un mapa de 7 estrellas en dificultad normal, que un mapa de 3 estrellas en dificultad normal.
    - Posibilidad de prestigiar a un personaje cuando este alcanze el nivel máximo.
    - Diversidad de armas, con la posibilidad de aparición de armas especiales, que cambian por completo la forma de usar al personaje.
    - Modo creador de mapas online.
    - Modo libre, para poder seleccionar cualquier mapa sin estar introducido en la campaña.
    - Coop local para la campaña y modo libre.
    - Galería.

    Lo que podría considerarse un problema según la persona, seria el hecho de que los gráficos no son muy buenos, pero eso es dado que apareceran muchos enemigos en el mapa. Por otro lado lo que si o si es negativo en el juego, es que los mapas estan muy desvalanceados, dado que en general el salto de un mapa de dificultad fácil a normal es muy leve, pero de normal a dificil es muy alto, siendo a veces complicado jugar en dificil con un personaje que fácilmente puede ganar el mapa en fácil.

    Es un juego muy bueno, pero se debe tener cuidado sobre todo con el hecho de que con el tiempo el juego se vuelve repetitivo, por lo que queda bien para jugar de vez en cuando, en especial con un amigo a dos mandos.    … 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.

    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]

    Experimentation is rarely encouraged. [Issue#249, p.70]

    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.
