Warriors Orochi

As a port of the full game, however, it is a triumph, packing a ridiculously huge amount of content into a humble UMD.

Repetitive gameplay aside, the game’s few flaws don’t take away from the action or cool options. This is strictly for the fans.

No-frills action makes Warriors Orochi a decent portable experience, especially with co-op multiplayer and the promise of hours and hours of enjoyable - if similar - gameplay.

The developers have gotten this design down, but a complete lack of innovation and some poorly implemented features cripples Warriors Orochi.

This is a simple hack-and-slash game. By its very nature it's repetitive. By hinting at more depth with weapon upgrades, 79 playable and combinable characters with upgradable attributes, and a two-player mode, I think it's the developer's responsibility to fully realize these features and implement them in the gameplay. Otherwise don't tease us.

All the typical problems of repetition, poor story, below average graphics and awful voice acting return once again, but the renowned Warriors button-mashing seems more fitted to quick, portable gaming sessions.

Hopelessly repetitive and only offers the same amount of cheap thrills as every other Dynasty Warriors type game. [July 2008, p.90]

If you've loved the Warriors games in the past, then I wholeheartedly recommend Warriors Orochi. It has all the hack-n-slash action that fans of the series want, with the add convenience of portability.

Just a solid port of an unremarkable brawler. [June 2008, p.75]

Warriors Orochi isn’t a bad game since it is another angle on the same Koei-based hack-and-slash games they have been working on for over a decade now. There are also some new things brought to the table, but the gameplay experience is becoming tiring.

First and foremost, Warriors Orochi PSP is a game aimed at fans, and only then for a few other players.
