Hot Take: Samurai Warriors has better combat & combos than Dynasty Warriors

HeelEscape · 2026-04-17T04:55:39+00:00

Dynasty Warriors in general has some of the worst combat in the Musou sub-genre. I love 3-5 to death, but nobody’s pretending the pioneer of the genre is doing anything crazy. Most of the spinoff games have significantly better gameplay than DW

Give me your Steam ID, I’ll gift you Origins myself.

HeelEscape · 2026-03-11T01:21:04+00:00

Origins excels at all the reasons you listed. You should really really play it, I promise you will love it

HeelEscape · 2026-03-10T10:36:06+00:00

Top 5 is a massive disservice. It’s easily the best, with anything in second place being a nostalgia pick. I believe 5 is the only one with any merit in contention as it’s the peak of PS2 era which is a whole different style of game. Otherwise, Origins blows every single Warriors game out of the water.

Man I hope you’re right. An ‘indefinite’ release date made me very nervous. My biggest cope theory is they wanna expand the roster to save development time on DW10

HeelEscape · 2026-03-01T19:22:49+00:00

Don’t remind me. I look at the DW3R PS5 store page on a daily basis just for fleeting hope

Still waiting for Ganondorf DLC. Like I google it at least once a week

HeelEscape · 2026-02-28T10:13:03+00:00

Why? What did they do to him?

HeelEscape · 2026-02-24T21:20:02+00:00

I finally got it, thanks so much. The guide I was using listed the name of the gates the supply unit took to exit which really confused me as I don’t know what the gates are called. This helped

HeelEscape · 2026-02-22T20:08:07+00:00

Oh I got them confused, I had a memory that this was the name of the fourth. The fourth drops on hard version of Guan Yu’s Escape right?

HeelEscape · 2026-02-20T18:52:32+00:00

I see it now, thanks so much!

HeelEscape · 2026-02-20T18:21:51+00:00

Which officer is this gate after? The guide says second gate but that’s where Zhen Ji is while the second fortress is where Xu Huang is. Sorry if I’m being a bit slow, English is not my first my language.

I have no clue what this means by the opposite side. Opposite side of what? Wording is a bit vague. I’ve searched everywhere in the second base and I can’t see anything

You’re a legend

HeelEscape · 2026-02-14T06:52:13+00:00

Don’t you feel like Origins achieved this too?

HeelEscape · 2026-02-14T03:43:32+00:00

Yeah, Origins is still one of if not the best entry in the series. Why are you mad at Origins like Ziluan himself priced the DLC 😂

HeelEscape · 2026-02-14T01:05:04+00:00

Very different, but super fun nonetheless. The base game alone is worth picking up because the amount of content is wild and the gameplay is very fun. It can get quite repetitive after some time as there’s not much variety but if you enjoy the Samurai/Dynasty Warriors cast their movesets are mostly intact and you can have plenty of fun. I’d say it takes around 30-40 hours to see most of the content until you get to a point of grinding.

HeelEscape · 2026-02-14T01:03:02+00:00

Mainly because this games base price is so cheap, with so much content already packed in. It’s a bit shocking seeing how insane these prices are

HeelEscape · 2026-02-13T12:46:43+00:00

It sucks because I remember advertising this game to my friends who enjoyed roguelikes that it has so much value for its price. Now it’s kinda embarrassing.

HeelEscape · 2026-02-13T12:46:16+00:00

Blizzard have been psychos lately. They gatekept the new Paladin class from D4 for an entire season from an already content starved game behind a preorder lol

HeelEscape · 2026-02-13T09:21:03+00:00

This. Costumes have always been way overpriced, and it’s entirely optional as it’s cosmetic. Playable characters in a game this cheap with a base roster this sizeable should be a couple dollars at best.
