What is Dynasty Warriors: Origins?
A hack-and-slash game introducing a "nameless hero" protagonist, designed as an accessible entry point for newcomers. Boasting the series' most intense action and leveraging modern hardware for unprecedented enemy counts, it features improved combat, storytelling, replayability, and visuals. While the protagonist's blank slate is occasionally a drawback, the supporting cast and engaging narrative elevate the experience. It's a strong entry for both new and veteran players.
