    The AI also seems to be worst since most enemies only stand and wait for you to strike them, enemy AI seems to be stupid, and the allies AI will not harm any enemy before anyone takes control of them.    … Expand

    Boring and repetitive gameplay and the plot might as well be considered false advertisement, as it does not feature the downfall of hyrule, but a "everyone survives" power fantasy on a separated timeline.

There are a surprising amount of cutscenes with dialogue (except from the grunting Link, of course). It feels like much more collaboration with Nintendo went into the story for this Hyrule Warriors. This is without a doubt a Warriors game that looks like BotW, & I'm here for it. Still not sure if the story is canon as a prequel or if it just all takes place in the BotW universe, much like the first HW was just several canon Legend of Zelda stories inside of a non-canon story. Can't wait to see what other characters are playable. Very fun hack & slash game… Expand

Playing as multiple characters from BOTW (along with a few very surprising additions), you get to experience a rich and immersive story on par with the original Hyrule Warriors and some of the better stories of the LOZ franchise. The gameplay is a mix of Dynasty Warriors and BOTW, but contains a lot more LOZ-style gameplay than the original Hyrule Warriors did. This game also gives you an opportunity to become more attached to the characters than BOTW did, especially considering you can play as many of them.

    However, no game is perfect, and Age of Calamity DOES have a couple of issues with it. Notably, framerate. When using attacks that take up a lot of space on the screen or facing a LOT of enemies at once, the game tends to lag to a decent degree (but not to unplayable rates).

    The second major caveat that Age of Calamity takes is the very gameplay itself. IF you are looking for a game with gameplay akin to BOTW, then I'd advise waiting for BOTW 2 to come out...however, if you enjoy frantic and fast-paced hack 'n slashes (and don't mind it becoming repetitive on occasion), then I'd highly recommend picking up this game, not only for its story, but for the ability to live the Calamity and be your favorite characters from BOTW!    … Expand

    Firstly, people need to know that the game's description stating "Experience the events of the Great Calamity 100 years before the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game" (as it currently states on the game's Amazon listing) is only half true. In short, this story takes place in a separate timeline where things played out a bit differently than they did in BOTW.

In short, this story takes place in a separate timeline where things played out a bit differently than they did in BOTW. As such, this raises questions as to the game's canon status. I'm not sure why Nintendo felt it was necessary to mislead people (except to maximize profits, of course) because I'd totally be down to see what could have been.

    Anyway, this game is not bad at all, it just isn't great. The story - while being a bit predictable at points (and not at others) - is an overall satisfying story. I certainly liked it a lot. As I mentioned before, this plot takes place in a separate timeline. A miniature guardian goes back in time from the original BOTW timeline to warn Zelda and everyone of the coming calamity and everything from then on plays out differently. There was never a point where I wanted to stop playing because of the story. I found it very interesting and I wanted to know what happened next every step of the way.

    The best thing about this game is its music. As with many Zelda games, the music is very well orchestrated and fits every moment well. They took many of the tracks from BOTW and made different arrangements for them. My favorite is Vah Ruta's theme.

    The gameplay also isn't bad per say, but it isn't engaging at all. It is a horde battle / hack n' slash sort of thing and its excitement will not last you through the game. It gets boring pretty quickly as it never evolves in any significant way. It' just you running from point A to point B and then C, D, etc. hacking through unrealistic amounts of enemies and killing big mini-boss ones. What's worse is that the game expects you to go back to these missions many times to grind for resources so that you can fill side objectives on the world map that grant small bonuses. There is an ungodly amount of these side objectives showered onto the map like a Ubisoft game. It's quite overwhelming and made me furious for a bit at how much time I would have to put in to check off everything.

    Overall, I rather enjoyed this game. It does have its flaws with gameplay, but I kept at it because I liked the story. It was fun to get a better glimpse of what Hyrule was like before the calamity. I liked seeing the characters again and I also liked the new ones. I would definitely recommend this game to any LOZ fan but I would caution others who just like the series as this title will be a 'hit or miss' for them.    … Expand

    The gameplay is, again, very average. The original Hyrule Warriors was a more complete and more fun to play Warriors game than this game, which feels like a hybrid between a Warriors game and BotW. It is way less expansive than Hyrule Warriors, it has les characters, and the story is not better... it's just canon. That is why I feel it ends up being more of a money grab, because chances are, you'll buy the game even if you believe the reviews that say it is very average.

    Repurposing the BotW map into a mash-up of levels, character skill trees and shops, just makes things convoluted, and tedious.

They handled some issues BotW had with limited enemy variety by inserting elemental versions of existing enemies and that was a nice way to give things a little more variety. The uses of the runes and Wizzrobe wands gives combat an extra dimension that's a total blast.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game. The most important thing to remember is that this isn't just a legend of zelda game, this is also a Hyrule warriors game which people have seemed to forget when playing it. Dont expect a normal zelda experience. Its a fun hack and slash with great elements from breath of the wild including mechanics and story. there are wonderful little nods to breath of the wild (story wise). I haven't experienced any glitches so far and the frame rate holds decently well for the amount of enemies that are on screen at once. if you have kids then they can play co op. if you just flat out hack and slash games of any kind then this probably isn't for you, but if you don't mind it and love legend of zelda, then you will enjoy it. it is so much fun playing as our favorite champions, fun to laugh at the silly things they say, great to see how they interact with their people and our main characters, and of course the divine beasts. ive only played 1 warriors game prior to this (hyrule warriors) but had no issue figuring out controls, combos and all that. in my opinion, age of calamity is a massive improvement from hyrule warriors. having the additional things like the map,training camps, donating items to help the people of hyrule etc are all welcome additions in my book.… Expand

    When the trailers of games out, I only thought that we can play the champions, Zelda and Impa, but the real playable characters surprise me. It is so many, even Master Kohga can be played.
    The gameplay is good too, though I'm not a fan of warrior type of game, I enjoy this game so much. You have so much things to do, so much combo and you will not be bored when playing for a long time.
    Of course, the best thing I love about this game is the story. This is a happy ending for Link and Zelda, where they defeated Calamity Ganon and saved all people. If the story of BOTW shows me the loneliness of Link and the pain he and Zelda bearing after 100 years, this game shows me the friendships, relationships that give Link and Zelda power. So happy to see Link always have connections with the others. And at last, this game leaves me in a question "So the timeline is split again :))))"

The culprit is almost definitely the BOTW-style graphics, which admittedly does look gorgeous, but the performance trade-off wasn't worth it. It's not enough to ruin the game, but it's noticeable enough to be annoying.
    Finally, the story is complete baloney. It was advertised as a prequel, but it becomes clear very quickly that it's not one.

Koei Tecmo y Nintendo han sabido llevar la saga Zelda al género musou de una manera prácticamente perfecta, un Gameplay excepcional, gran variedad de movimientos para cada personaje y una historia formidable. La cantidad de personajes se ve reducida, pero su calidad solo aumenta con respecto a otros musou. Los escenarios son todo un deleite debido a los pequeños secretos y detalles que ocultan, los cuales harán felices a los fans más acérrimos de Breath Of The Wild. El hyrule de hace 100 años emana vida, pero la guerra que nuestros héroes afrontan hace que según avances veas como todo va cambiando. Es una aventura increíble e inolvidable que debe ser jugada por todo fanático de la saga Zelda.

    Gran ost, gran historia, gran Gameplay. ¿Único problema?, Su framerate, en algunos momentos va como la seda, pero son momentos casi tan puntuales como aquellos en los que el juego va a menos de 10fps. Así es, la caída de FPS es horrorosa en algunas zonas y en un mejor hardware este juego se podría ver sumamente beneficiado. Pero se me hace injusto, en lo personal, no ponerle un merecido 9 solo por un aspecto negativo. ¿Es importante?, Si, pero en general es tan sobresaliente en lo que al catálogo de Switch respecta, que se me haría de mal gusto valorarlo de dicha manera solo por dicho aspecto.

    Conclusión, un gran videojuego que logrará satisfacer a todo aquel que sienta amor hacia la saga Zelda, los musou, y los videojuegos.    … Expand

    I absolutely love the gameplay, the story is very intriguing though not what many expected. I love trying out all the playable characters.

    El mejor MOSOU hasta la fecha con muchisimas posiblides en el combate y bastante variedad de personas con una historia nunca antes contada en un Musou.

    Lo único negativo es que en momentos puntuales con muchos enemigos o al terminar un combo puede haber algún bajón pequeño de FPS

    It is a very good game and entertaining to wait for the sequel to "Breath Of The Wild", the only problem I have is that when you play in multiplayer it can have errors

    Estamos ante el mejor Musou del mundo, sin dudas. El tamaño de su plantel es reducido en comparación a otros del género, pero su estilo de juego es único y original. NADA DE INSPIRARSE DE LO ANTERIORMENTE CREADO. Eso lo llena de originalidad. Su sistema de mejora no se siente como una barrera imposible de superar desde los primeros pasos, eso lo hace dinámico.

NADA DE INSPIRARSE DE LO ANTERIORMENTE CREADO. Eso lo llena de originalidad. Su sistema de mejora no se siente como una barrera imposible de superar desde los primeros pasos, eso lo hace dinámico. Su dificultad es la mejor que haya visto en cualquier Musou, su música es soberbia, la historia está bien contada; con cinemáticas que no duran ni mucho ni muy poco. LO JUSTO. Las misiones principales, secundarias, el rejugable y coleccionables son abundantes y siempre hay algo que hacer. La batalla contra los jefes y subjefes de cada nivel es única y recuerdan más a un DarkSouls que a un Musou. (Sobre todo en la máxima dificultad.) Con este juego Nintendo y Koei Tecmo han dejado la vara de medir muy alta para los futuros juegos del género. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity es una obra sobresaliente que podría interesar incluso a los que no están acostumbrados a disfrutar este tipo de juegos. SOBERBIO EN VERDAD.… Expand

    Love it, addicted to it, wish there was more of it. I know people with scared that the game story would ruin Breath of the Wild but I feel like it compliments it well while still keeping Breath of the Wild seperate.

I started the game playing on hard mode and in two days I already have 20 hours of gameplay, and I ain't even at the half of the story (currently on chapter 3 of seven). I wasn't expecting to have that much gun in a musou game, but it's pretty fantastic. There are few fps drops along the way, but I only really noticed at the begining and some parts of the Hyrule Forest and none was a problem to me. Looking forward to dig hundreds of hours in this game.… Expand

    Una estafa, aún recuerdo al productor de zelda saliendo como un mentiroso a decir que era una precuela y luego resulta que no lo es, en vez de eso, es una historia sacada de un fanfic mediocre, aunado a eso, la jugabilidad es insufrible (y eso que he jugado a otros warriors hasta de moviles), la caída de fps y la cámara.. solo una palabra: DECEPCIÓN.

    Gameplay is mediocre and the games marketting was flat out false advertising. Do not go in looking for a Breath of the Wild prequel.

    The game is immensely enjoyable. The combat never gets boring thanks to the many characters you can play with and the the variety of attacks/abilities they possess.

The maps are well laid out and make you feel as if your in the the world of botw. The games characters who where already great and memorable from botw have only been made better with some great cutscenes and diologue here and there. The games story is also an interesting one. It's one that you'll either like or hate and overall I think it's okay. It has some amazing and great moments, but some that I think could have had a bit more explanation or overall better diologue to make them more interesting. Overall I'd recommend this game, it's certainly an interesting game that offers plenty of fun.… Expand

    The gameplay is very repetitive and it gets boring very quick. The frame-rate is a deal breaker. Save your money and buy another game like AC Valhalla. big pass. Very disappointed. One of the worst games I have ever played

    Best game I have played in 2020. I am not completed yet but the story is extremely addicting and the way missions are added is extremely addicting. The combat is fun and the presentation is phenomenal.

    A game of the finest art. The game fulfills the expectations, but a little laggy with low fps time to time. Fun game, and also has a nice co-op mode!

    Absolutely amazing, seriously. The story, cutscenes and voice acting are excellent and impressive, the combat is better than in the first Hyrule Warriors with a ton of variety between all the playable characters. This game has a huge amount of content and has better level design than the first Hyrule Warriors. Great game and a must play for any fan of Warriors games or Breath of the Wild.

    Preciso realmente dizer o quão épico foi esse jogo. Hyrule Warriors Age Of Calamity é um dos melhores jogos que eu já joguei. Cada personagem jogável é diferente do outro. A história É INCRÍVEL.

    Of all the champions, AoC is most comparable to Daruk: rough around the edges and simple, but full of heart and grows on you fast. [Issue #3, p.55]

    Age of Calamity is like a t-shirt with your favorite band’s artwork – remove the love of their music and all you’ve got is a piece of clothing. Similarly, if you play Hyrule Warriors not familiar with Breath of the Wild, you’ll miss tons of fan service and end up with a pretty and relaxing but rather basic hack and slash. [01/2021, p.64]

    This battle-hardened prequel is able to scratch an itch that its source material couldn't. [Issue #50 – January/February 2021, p. 75]
