What is Dynasty Warriors: Origins?
A hack-and-slash title introducing a new "nameless hero" protagonist, designed as an accessible entry point for newcomers. Boasting the series' most intense action and leveraging modern hardware for unprecedented enemy counts, Dynasty Warriors: Origins revitalizes the series with enhanced combat, improved storytelling, and substantial replayability. While the amnesiac protagonist is somewhat underdeveloped, the supporting cast shines. It's a triumphant return for veterans and a compelling introduction for newcomers.
