The new mass battle action was released on January 17. Player numbers and initial reviews show that the developers have hit the mark.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is off to a strong start on Steam:Just a few days after release, the user reviews and player numbers speak for themselves. We summarize the opinions on the new battle action.
We already noticed when playing the game before release: the developers are trying something new here – strong, but also risky. Now it’s obviously paying off!
That’s what the first voices say about Dynasty Warriors: Origins
At the time of this writing, the game has been available on Steam for two days So far, it has received an impressive 94 percent positive rating in over 4,000 user reviews Of course, these are mainly first impressions, but some commentators have already played for over 20 hours on the account. Hardworking!
Technically, it seems to run smoothly for most, and many also praise the improved and pleasantly challenging combat system in Dynasty Warriors: Origins and hope that such innovations will be adopted in the other parts of the series in the future.
There is also criticism, but for the most part it does not seem to carry much weight. Many comments complain about the rather weak dialogues, but that can be forgiven in a Dynasty Warriors.
Steam user Glopatronicals writes (after 15 hours):
The battles are great fun.
The weapons are all fantastic.
The gameplay loop of a battle scenario is great.
The world map is amazing.
The game makes you feel powerful.
The English voice acting lacks enthusiasm.
The story cutscenes are boring.
The game cost me $102.95 (Australian dollars).
Joshynn thinks the series takes a noticeable step forward with Origins:
I feel like Dynasty Warrior [hereby] comes the closest to a triple-A title. I’ve played a few of them here and there, but none of them have held my interest for more than a few hours so far.
What do the player numbers look like? Since its release, the number of simultaneously active players has increased – after all, it also came out just before a weekend. According to steam.db, there are currently almost 60,000 people playing the game, with a previous high of 63,000.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins also scores quite well in terms of user reviews. On Metacritic, the average rating is currently 80 out of 100 points.
If the purchase price puts you off, you can download a free demo of the game from Steam. This should give you a very good idea of what to expect this time before you have to whip out your wallet.
