    What I like about this game is how easy to get into and not overly complicated, so everyone can be appealed to and enjoy.

    To say that the Musou games are repetitive is like saying water is wet. As a fan, I don’t mind the repetitiveness if the combat is fun and there’s characters and weapons to unlock. It’s mindless fun, and sometimes that’s what I want in a video game.

    The Touken Ranbu iteration brings a whole new layer of repetitiveness to the genre, with fewer characters, no exciting unlocks, and    To say that the Musou games are repetitive is like saying water is wet.

    The Touken Ranbu iteration brings a whole new layer of repetitiveness to the genre, with fewer characters, no exciting unlocks, and frustrating mission failures that seem entirely arbitrary. The maps are tiny. The largest might be about 1/8th the size of a Samurai/Hyrule/Orochi/FireEmblem/OnePiece map: most are even smaller than that. The enemy variety is the worst of any I’ve played to date. The addition of mini games is not well implemented. I don’t enjoy a single one of them and it’s clear that not very much thought or effort was put into developing them.

    This game feels like a lazy attempt to fill the time gap before Three Hopes is released. I predict this being the Musou game I give the fewest number of hours to.    … Expand

    Touken Ranbu Warriors shows once again that Koei-Tecmo does a much better job in the Warriors series spin-offs than in the main Dynasty series, delivering a delicious Musou to be played, in every single aspect of the game, from deep characters to perfect environments. With missions that are shorter than usual, it is the perfect game for beginners in the genre.

    Touken Ranbu Warriors offers exactly the kind of interaction between Touken Ranbu’s characters and musou mechanics that is only possible here, while maintaining the charm that makes the original property so beloved. Although some elements of the honmaru may not live up to the same high bar set by the missions, it’s still such a natural fit that the minor drawbacks seem less to disappoint and more to open up the possibility of future improvements. The ways Warriors intuitively expands the world of Touken Ranbu makes me excited for the possibility of other titles set across different time periods in Japan with the appropriate Touken Danshi and their previous masters. Although there’s no guarantee of what the future holds in that regard, I’ll happily return time and again to Touken Ranbu Warriors for its unique spin on the world of Touken Ranbu.

    While it may not feel like a traditional entry into the Warriors style of spinoff games that most are used to, there is a unique feel to be found in Touken Ranbu Warriors. With an interesting setting that has both characters that are engaging and a unique play on its historical situations, there’s a lot to enjoy for anyone.
