About this product

Product Information

Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors meet again, to face a common foe in developer Omega Force's distinct style of hack-and-slash combat. The third version of Warriors Orochi 3 to be released, Ultimate features characters from established Tecmo games, along with the full cast of playable warriors from Koei's previous editions of the title. History's greatest generals are called together, through time and space, to defeat the monster Youja. Emerging relationships underlie the storyline, which plays a more central role than in earlier games.<br><br>Throughout the game, players have the opportunity to choose from a roster of more than 120 characters, including Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa, Dead or Alive's Ayane, Jeanne d'Arc from Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War, and Achilles from the Dynasty Warriors-inspired Legends of Troy. Gamers can also choose from the four characters added in Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper, and eight new characters added for this edition. As characters form strategic alliances, engage in diplomacy, and fight side-by-side in battle, a bond develops between them, allowing them to team up in special combo attacks. The game also includes a scenario editor, and built-in tools for sharing player-created missions online.<br><br>Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate also adds four new chapters to the Story mode, offering insight into the events before the original Warriors Orochi, and presenting a new threat in the form of Tamamo no Mae. Players can also take on the new Gauntlet mode, which finds five characters attempt to survive a variety of challenges within a multi-level dungeon.<br><br><!--One-->

  • An epic beat-em-up and a must-own for DW and SW fans

    First thing's first: if you're not a fan of the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors franchises, chances are, you're not going to like this one. Critics often complain about the repetitive nature of the game's action (fight hordes of mostly docile enemies), and this one is no different in that regard. But if you are a fan of Koei's long-running Warriors series, this is definitely a fun romp that will keep you entertained for months, as you unlock a huge variety of characters, weapons, items and art. With 145 playable characters, this is the largest cast ever assembled in a Warriors title, with several guests from other series such as Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden and even Soul Calibur. With improvements to just about everything from Warriors Orochi 1-2, it's a great value, and even characters who use similar weapons have moves and attributes that differentiate them from their cohorts. This title allows more interactivity between your team of three, with some characters having passive skills that affect their teammates. There are also switch combos and the ability to call all three characters onto the field at once, either to assist in normal attacks, or to launch a powerful true triple musou attack. As far as new modes, Tecmo Koei has added some interesting ones. There are the standard Story and Free modes, but in addition, the ability to edit existing levels in "Musou Battlefield Mode" (changing everything from the enemy type, to lines of dialogue and the officers involved), an arcade-style survival mode called "Gauntlet Mode" where you control a team of five, and must make it to the exit point or lose your loot, and "Duel Mode", where your team of three squares off against either the CPU or another player. Each of these modes has supporting features which give them some depth, and you could spend hours exploring the different combinations of characters and their synergies to build your perfect team. The one minor gripe I have about the game is that, unlike previous titles in the series, there is no option for English voice acting. All the dialogue is in Japanese only, and while it's a minor complaint, it is noticeable and may affect your ability to understand what to do in certain levels with specific directions. But that aside, this is a great game that exceeds expectations. While it isn't re-inventing the wheel, and while I doubt it will change the opinions of people who never liked the series, it is certain to please fans by giving them more of just about everything from previous entries in the series.

  • One of the best warriors games ever made.

    One of the best musou titles on modern systems, graphics aren't any special but this game has over 150 characters, over a 50 hour story and almost 150 more hours of content. Compelling and keeps you going with easy battle systems and not a lot of in-between time wasters.

  • painfully average

    Ah Warriors Orochi 3, truly the black sheep of the series. Normally I've good things to say about video games but this really makes it incredibly hard. I have never encountered more of a boring Warriors Orochi game. I found myself doing other things a lot of the time when i should have been playing this. 5/10. There's a reason i call it painfully average. Even the guest stars can't save this.
