Repetitive but fun
A mindless horde slaying game with iconic Zelda characters plus some original characters. Each one plays unique to each other so any character could be someone’s favorite. The combat is simple but knowing how to apply those to string combos or deal with situations makes it super satisfying. The game shines best on the adventure maps, giving a unique objective to progress on a map with various rewards.

I guess I'm just not a Warriors series guy. I had heard of Dynasty Warriors for quite some time & never tried it, but when they released this (which I assume is essentially DW with a Zelda coat of paint), I decided to take the plunge. And I mean, it's alright. Fighting ridiculously huge hoards of enemies is really fun for, like... maybe 15-20 minutes? Played maybe a level & a half before deciding I had my fill. It's fine, but the fun of its core gameplay loop just doesn't last that long for me personally.
The story is good enough and is fun to follow. The original Hyrule Warriors did have some super frustrating moments how you couldn't control your troops and they always died way too fast without you babysitting them. Also the fact that adventure mode is most of this game is kind of annoying because you unlock items you can't use cause the story mode is over. But with that being said it is a good game and I always get an ego boost killing 100 enemies at once. Also it is my first experience with dynasty warrior games.
