What Is Dynasty Warriors: Origins?
----------------------------------Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a hack-and-slash game that introduces a new "nameless hero" protagonist, serving as an accessible entry point for new players. This installment promises "the most exhilarating action in the series' history" and leverages modern gaming hardware to allow your character to face the highest number of onscreen enemies ever seen in the series.
IGN's critic Jada Griffin praises the game in our Dynasty Warriors: Origins review, stating:
If Dynasty Warriors: Origins is meant to be a new beginning, it’s one that gets off to a masterful start. It doesn’t just have the largest amount of enemies the series has thrown on screen at once, it also deepens its combat, improves its storytelling without getting in the way of the action, and provides a healthy amount of replayability and postgame content – all while looking better than ever. Your amnesiac hero is a bit too much of a blank slate at times, but the impressive ensemble cast made this story sing as I grew to care about the characters around him, big and small. Origins is both a great entry point for newcomers and a triumphant return for veterans like me who felt the last few entries had become stale or missed the mark. It feels like the series I once loved is finally back.
