Secondly, this series has barely changed over the years in terms of both graphics and gameplay. Still, whether you've played only one, or every one, the mantra holds true. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. When it was first announced that DW was going to see a Gundam paintjob, fans from both camps got a tad worried. Prior to the original Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, DW saw only Asian generals and swordsmen facing in battle. How could adding giant robots affect this balance?"
A look at 5 franchises that should get their own Dynasty Warriors crossovers.
OGPlanet Launches Gundam Video on Demand in North America. Fans and players of the popular SD Gundam Capsule Fighter Online can access Gundam series from the OGPlanet site
DualShockers writers, "...Where Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce shows promise is its integration of RPG elements into the slash action genre, pick up and kill functionality, and strategic setup of missions and boss fights. Although the game does give the player a sense of purpose, the storytelling in this franchise has needed a major reboot for a long time now. The strategic elements added to the level design are great, but sometimes seem more like hard work than fun on single player mode. Taking this game online for co-op was pretty great, but again the strategic aspect of this game becomes fairly simple once you figure out the mission at hand. The game has weapon specific special attacks (between one to three per weapon) which are powerful, useful, and cool, but there are not enough of them and it becomes repetitive solving various situations the same way. Dynasty Warriors fans will love this game, but a lot is holding..."
Well written review, imo. It's just too bad that Dynasty Warriors has been falling off :\
I kinda saw this one coming. The series is in dire need of a reboot, and porting a handheld title to a console isn't it.
