As opposed to characters found in Dynasty or Samurai Warriors, the attacks performed by Hyrule‘s roster are all incredibly varied and flamboyant, from Agitha summoning giant beetles, to Ghirahim using his attacks to lock onto enemies before sending dark energy charging toward them. Each of the game’s thirteen playable characters have a unique fighting style, though utilize the same combo system for controller-bashing simplicity. Pitting two (or sometimes three) armies against each other, each stage has the player hack and slash their way through hundreds upon hundreds of enemy soldiers, mowing through peons and tackling tougher leaders, capturing keeps to sway the battle in the allied force’s favor, and eventually taking out an enemy commander.

Those familiar with Koei’s flagship series will find themselves right at home with most of what its Zelda-flavored offering brings to the table. Outside of some minor inconveniences and conceptual limitations, Omega Force has put together something truly delectable – even if those who dislike the core Dynasty Warriors games will find very little to get excited about. Even so, I never would have expected to see two personally beloved games come together like this.Įven better, the marriage between Nintendo’s classic action-adventure series and Tecmo Koei’s button-mashing hack n’ slash powerhouse is almost everything I could have wanted it to be. In truth, a Dynasty Warriors spin-off featuring The Legend of Zelda shouldn’t be that surprising – Nintendo and Koei have always been good friends, and there have been mutterings of a crossover for quite some time.

Hyrule Warriors is still one of those games I’m having trouble comprehending the existence of, despite sinking a ridiculous number of hours into it.
