    I'm gonna get right to the point. This is an average game and I'm not a hater because im acually a HUGE fan of Koei. But this has limited appeal, there are 2 main modes story mode and another mode that allows you to play as people you can in the main story plot. Once you beat story mode (unlocking characters
    along the way) You can play the mode i mentioned earlier which also has limited

The AI get very annoying along the way, they are overly difficult. My advice is that to wait for a price drop and get it and if you dont like beat em ups then this isnt for you

    First of the North Star, as a modification of Dynasty Warriors, is a good idea quite well executed. It has its own touch and personality, without differentiating itself too much from the series tradition.

    Ken's Wrath has some good ideas and offers us a glimpse of what a Hokuto no Ken's game could be. But this is not that game, as it's repetitive, with many visual issues and an important lack of personality. It feels more of the same with the Warriors series, and it's dissapointing and several levels.

    A great game for every Hokuto no Ken fan, mixing a classical beat'em'up gameplay to the typical Dynasty Warriors mechanics.
