Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.

The verdict

A very different open-world take on Dynasty Warriors: fun combat and a huge map, but empty, repetitive and unpolished. Skip it if you want classic stage-based Musou.

Great for

Series fans open to experiments, Three Kingdoms lovers, and co-op players who want to roam China

Main risk

Not a classic Dynasty Warriors: empty open world, clone movesets, poor keyboard controls and performance

What players love

Open world makes battles feel epic

Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews

“I belive open world has sufficiently made the game feel more epic whereas the tiny battlefields from the previous in this series felt just like video game stages of connected corridors.”

Co-op, big roster and Three Kingdoms story

Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews

“It's insane that this game has local co-op on PC. If you have someone to play it with, it's a lot of fun to just roam around and fight stuff.”
