Some info for anyone wondering what this game is like
Since they absolutely flubbed marketing this game. This is basically a full-blown Warriors game. It's not quite a Vampire Survivors style, the format is more like a roguelite, where you fight waves of enemies, and then go into portals with various rewards, and continue to the boss at the end, etc.. But it can be considered like a blend, since each portal is an arena of hordes.

The gameplay... It's literally Warriors. Every character has their entire movesets from previous games (it's like playing Warriors Orochi 3). Samurai characters have all their Hyper Attacks, musous, it's all there. Enemies can even get juggled.

A super neat thing about this game is that it adds dodge offsetting, very fitting for the roguelite format. If you dodge in the middle of attacks, you can resume the combo string immediately afterwards (even in the middle of Charge moves).

Like a roguelite, you don't keep most stuff you get in runs, but there are still currencies (and bonds) that will give you permanent progress.

This game also has an extremely cool feature where you find other heroes during your run, and aside from various passive buffs, they also 'attach' to your various Charge moves, to pop out and do their own special assist attacks after your moves finish, and a special meter where all your gathered army will start attacking on their own. There's also a bit more to heroes, with stuff like setting formations for different effects.

All in all, as a Warriors Orochi 3/4 lover, this game is an absolute dream and I can't believe they just dropped this randomly like some side dish. This game is an insane love letter that tries something new, while still maintaining the appeal, and feels so high quality overall.

Yeah its basically warriors orochi 3 lite

It's like playing hades vs 100's of enemies at once. The trade off is instead of map control with bases, the commander units need to be dealt with as they are the main source of aoe spam on the field you are dodging. So it carries that frantic map control feeling of the series on a bite size scale

Looks interesting and it's cheap enough to be worth a punt

Funny, I played the Dynasty Warriors Origins demo recently and thought "it's hard to see what's going on in the screen, what if Koei made an isometric Warriors game?"

I was going to say "that's crazy," but then I remembered people spend much more than that on gatcha games, so a least it's an upfront purchase here.

Got some pricey DLC. £31 for classic Dynasty costumes + £27 for the Samurai ones and then there's a 3rd one for £22.
