That's pretty cool for those who played Warriors Orochi 4, but unless you imported the Japanese-exclusive games, seeing this message has to sting a bit.įor the few who have yet to experience a Musou game, think of this title as a 3D beat-'em-up that's set in ancient China, where everyone has a weapon. The game rewards fans with special items if they've played any of the Koei Tecmo Musou games on the Switch. As such, going back to the last game in the series that uses the classic formula is a much better choice for those who want to play the main series while they're on the go. It also did poor enough with the fans that there are no current plans to release spin-offs of this title. The thought of an open-world Dynasty Warriors game seems alluring, but the execution was heavily botched with a poor presentation, terrible performance, and a surprising lack of things to do in such a vast world. While it may seem odd that an older game was chosen for the port, it does make perfect sense. This port isn't based on the latest game in the series. Despite the series' popularity, it was an odd decision to see the mainline series not hit North America, but that all changes with Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition.

Japan had three exclusive games ported: Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada, and Warriors Orochi 3.

The following year saw a few more games with ports of Hyrule Warriors, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3, and Warriors Orochi 4.

Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star was released only a few months after the system launched, and the year ended with Fire Emblem Warriors. There are quite a number of Musou-based or -inspired games already on the Nintendo Switch.
