Going to use this to review the first game, since it should really have a separate entry from Devil Kings. Very much the dynasty Warriors 2 of this series, Capcom nailed game feel and interesting character designs, and the beautiful character portraits give a nice stylistic edge for this, but it's just so anemic. The characters are more varied than any given musou, but just having a square combo and two special moves makes it feel so repetitive once you've played one or two conquest modes. Mostly just a curiosity for people who already love The games that came later
