It's not perfect and a little grindy but really fun. I would also recommend playing with a friend, lags the game like crazy but it's makes the harder levels a lot more enjoyable.
Warriors-styled games are incredibly hard to fuck up. In this case, they did just about everything they could to represent BotW in its entirety. BotW does a lot of telling, but this game shows you everything that happened in the calamity. The biggest negative to address is the story, but Warriors games were never fun for their stories. I actually prefer how much more involved this story is than the one in Breath of the Wild, even if it undoes the bad outcome.
If you don't play it with the expectation of "BOTW prequel that will reveal some interesting lore stuff" (what a waste, sigh) and you love fanservice then this is the game for you.
I think I enjoyed this game a lot more than most people in part because I wasn't that into Breath of the Wild and its lore so this game's more divisive writing decisions didn't bother me as much and in part because I'm just generally a huge Musou sucker and this game, mechanically speaking, is a very, very solid Musou game. Not as good as the original Hyrule Warriors but then few Musou games are. The movesets are largely great, there's a huge amount of content, and the system mechanics include a lot of super nice touches, like every character getting their own variations on the Sheikah Slate runes, and shield-wielding characters like Link and Urbosa getting to use the parry/reflection straight from BotW. There's just a lot to chew on and experiment with for fans of the genre.
That said, while I didn't consider it a deal breaker like some people, the performance definitely isn't ideal. I don't think it's a controversial statement to say this is like, the #1 game that would benefit from the existence of a Switch Pro. But it's also pretty old at this point so knowing Nintendo and Koei Tecmo they probably wouldn't even update this game to make use of the hardware lol

Seriously who the fuck likes these games? Why do they keep getting made? Is there a game behind the performance issues?
This would go up an entire star if it just followed the canon of BOTW and TOTK. They should’ve had the guts to have the ending be the champions dying, with Link and Zelda losing. The gameplay is pretty fun otherwise.
Me gustan los musoe y está no fue la excepción y siento q si es muy dinámico, aunq como todos los musoe se puede llegar a sentir repetitivo

The gameplay is about the same or maybe a little less than the original Hyrule warriors however it still is really fun. I also really did like the direction the narrative was pushing but the lack of willingness to tell a tragedy and stick to cannon was very disappointing and ruined this games ending very much so.
Similar al primero, el género está guay para un spinoff de la saga, en este caso también aumenta la historia sobre botw, lo que está bien. De nuevo, puede ser un poco repetitivo si lo juegas muy de seguido.
Hermosa ampliacion de la hisotria de BOTW, gran cambio de mecanicas y muy muy divertido. Te hace lagrimear seguro por la nostalgia que logra generar
For whatever reason this one didn't captivate me as much as the previous Hyrule Warriors, despite the BotW themed story. I should probably finish this one.
Not a lot of fun
You can get some fun times out of this game but it can start to easily tire you out after a while.

Una gran aventura. La primera vegada que he jugat a un videojoc d'aquest estil i tant pel que fa a la història com al gameplay tot m'ha encantat!

I was never interested in those Dynasty Warriors games at all, but I saw that they made one based on the events of Breath of the Wild pre calamity and I was just too curious.
The main reason I never cared for these games is because they always seemed like all you do is mash buttons and turn off your brain, which doesn't sound engaging or fun at all. After having played this one, I can say that my preconception of this gameplay formula wasn't totally accurate, but it wasn't 100% wrong either (At least when it comes to this game)...
I liked seeing these characters again, and there is definitely some fun to be had with performing combos and destroying these massive hordes of enemies with most of these characters. However, I was not a fan of the approach they took for the story of this game, I thought it was gonna be a re-telling of the story pre BotW, and how the whole fight for Hyrule went down before Link was defeated.
Instead, this game is just a what if scenario, with time travel and a happy ending where nobody actually died and Ganon was defeated for good from the very beginning. And yeah, I liked seeing Mipha meet with future Sidon, or Riju and Urbosa...But was it really worth it to ditch the actual story and make this game not canon just to have moments like those?
But in reality, my biggest issue with this game is just that it is TOO repetitive and tedious. Again, there is only so many times I can mash the Y or X button mindlessly and fight against giant enemies that take like a million hits to die before I get sick of it.
Not only that, but the game constantly will throw you in levels that are just massive areas that you must explore, while constantly move back and forth, between different characters, and all while you are mashing through the same hordes of enemies and giants over...and over....and OVER again.
By the time I was about to reach the end of the game, I was already sick of it! So when the game threw me in another massive map full of giants that would deplete my health like it was nothing, while I had to hit them a million fucking times and half...I just couldn't bother anymore! I just dropped it and watched the ending on YouTube instead.
I guess it isn't a bad game...I just really wasn't a fan of the approach they took with the plot, and I really don't like this gameplay formula. It's fun for a bit, but after you play for 20 minutes you have pretty much experienced the whole game; just tedious and repetitive button mashing and combo spamming for way too long.
If you actually like the Dynasty Warriors games, chances are you will actually enjoy this one...But this ain't for me. I abandoned it, but funnily enough, I didn't learn from my experience; after all...This is not the only Warriors game I'm gonna be talking about.

Pretty fun, and the story IS good, but I would've preferred if it ended with how everything actually went with Breath of the Wild.
Honestly, I really like this one. I like games where I can just turn my brain off and just mash the attack button, and this game is that for me. Had a lot of fun playing it and really want to go back and finish it.
I don't know know what i really want to say about this game i was really hoping it would be an actually retelling of the events that had occurred 100 years prior to BOTW and was really enjoying it until its "fanservicey" parts. Was hoping this would be the crisis core to BOTW.

huge disappointment they could have made one of the best zelda in terms of story but preferred to make an alternative story not canon to BOTW
despite this, it's still a very good hyrule warrior.

Getting my ass beat by guardians at 13fps
Para pasear el rato está entretenido y los juegos de este estilo son mi guilty plesure

A good warriors game, but the story was not that great on the second half.
Great fun for BOTW fans but wasn't a fan of where the story went.

OH MY FUCKING GOD THE EGG THING TRAVELS THROUGH TIME AND PREVENTS THE CALAMITY FROM HAPPENING AND KILLS ITSELF TO SAVE ZELDA AND THE TIMELINE AND YOU CAN REPAIR IT THIS IS SO FUNNY I FUCK LOVE IT!!!!!

It's a Warriors game so it gets repetitive fast, not that surprising. The story was interesting until the halfway point. FPS is fucking terrible like wtf happened, omg the FPS is at its worst in the Zora areas, or levels with rain in them. Genuinely why did they do that time shit, I know that we know what the end of the champions are in BOTW, but having the time travel affect it is stupid, now there is two different timelines, the Age of Calamity timeline and the BOTW timeline, must unnecessary shit ever, atleast the what if scenarios are cute, like adult Sidon and Mipha
This was my first warriors game. I don't know if every single warriors game is like this, but I was not really enjoying it. It felt repetitive and boring. On top of that, the game runs terribly on the Switch. With how bad the FPS dipped at times, and how bad the resolution looked, it really took away from my enjoyment and just led me to dropping the game. I do not recommend this, even if you're a BOTW or TOTK fan.
i couldnt finish it
