    Is there a reason Koei keeps making these games? Do they really sell? Is there a market for clone after clone after clone after clone of an engine, name, and story? The Dynasty Warriors formula was new and exciting, with Dynasty Warriors 2, a launch game for the PS2. 8 years later, it's not so new and exciting.

    This is a very simple review. If you've played one Dynasty    Is there a reason Koei keeps making these games? Do they really sell? Is there a market for clone after clone after clone after clone of an engine, name, and story? The Dynasty Warriors formula was new and exciting, with Dynasty Warriors 2, a launch game for the PS2. 8 years later, it's not so new and exciting.

    This is a very simple review. If you've played one Dynasty Warriors game in your life, you have essentially played this game. And the next DW/Samurai Warriors game. And the next one after that. And after that.

    Although as much as I'm slagging it, there is indeed a cheap fun to these kinda games. Yes, it's 8 years dated, but there is an extremely satisfying feeling in getting yourself engrossed into a huge field of enemies, and unleashing a devastating power surge of violence as the foes go flying in all directions. THAT is always worth a rent. But it also won't give you hours of play time. More like a half hour, also seeing as this game is extremely small on extra features and any kind of replay value.

    But basically, just as every DW/SW game has been since DW3, this is a desperate rent.    … Expand

    ça s'appelle "Warriors Orochi" et non "Dynasty Warriors" mais c'est la même daube ! graphismes indigents, présentation indigne, mauvais goût généralisé, jouabilité inexistante... seules les voix que l'on peut mettre en japonais font sourire quelque temps (pas trop longtemps quand même).

    Proceed cautiously with this one. It's certainly not terrible, but it's not a great action game either.

    Oh, how many restless nights have I spent yearning for a Koei game that would combine the worst parts of "Dynasty Warriors" with those of "Samurai Warriors"! [Oct 2007, p.113]

    It would've been nice to see Omega Software's Warriors series move forward with Orochi but unfortunately it seems to have stood fairly still in its mediocre hollow of repetitive combat/strategy gaming. Not much fun even if you were playing it on a very rainy day.
