“Over the last few years the Dynasty Warriors series has struggled to find where it would actually go next. Sure, Omega Force’s other efforts such as Warriors Orochi and Fate/Samurai Remnant, and their other licensed Warriors style games have shown innovation and some unique stylings, their signature franchise has languished. After an incredibly solid Dynasty Warriors 8 back in 2013 that saw fans eager for what to expect in the next mainline entry, Dynasty Warriors 9 shifted completely in the other direction in 2018, taking on an open-world feel and robbing almost every character of their charm and style in an attempt to force more characters into the bloated and nonsensical story.
In an attempt to go completely back to the drawing board, Omega Force and Koei Tecmo have came back with a far more in-depth telling of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with a central character looking to both introduce newcomers to the franchise and return to the roots of what fans loved, the battle of one vs thousands in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.”
