Best storytelling of any Musou game and that's including Persona 5 Strikers. No other game in the series even gets close to making you feel this much for the series' versions of the Three Kingdoms characters, as much as 8 and 9 make genuinely solid attempts at it. There's more moments that make me cry in this game's plot than there are in the rest of the series combined (aside from DW3 but those are tears of laughter). Powerful, powerful stuff.

Oh, yeah, and there's a game attached to it. I mean Legend Mode is pretty fun and has a lot of replayability but if you're not here for the writing the Story Mode falls kind of flat compared to its contemporaries and I do think this game suffers from the modern Musou moveset clone issues a whole lot, especially so since Story Mode doesn't let you choose your character on first playthrough. Yeah, you can weapon switch, and you bet your ass I'm gonna be weapon switching because nobody's been assigned the Bombs as an EX weapon yet, but if you're the kind of guy who likes to exclusively use each character's EX weapon, well, I hope you like the generic Sword, because you'll be using it a lot.

Also this version comes with all the DLC and for the most part that's great but if you're just trying to play through the story mode you're going to constantly get overpowered joke weapons auto-assigned to your second weapon slot and I hate it.
