What Is Dynasty Warriors: Origins?
*Dynasty Warriors: Origins* is a hack-and-slash game featuring a new “nameless hero” protagonist designed to welcome newcomers. This installment boasts “the most exhilarating action in the series' history” and leverages modern gaming hardware to pit your character against unprecedented numbers of enemies.
IGN’s critic Jada Griffin praised it in the Dynasty Warriors: Origins review:
If Dynasty Warriors: Origins is meant to be a new beginning, it’s one that gets off to a masterful start. It doesn’t just have the largest amount of enemies the series has thrown on screen at once, it also deepens its combat, improves its storytelling without getting in the way of the action, and provides a healthy amount of replayability and postgame content – all while looking better than ever. Your amnesiac hero is a bit too much of a blank slate at times, but the impressive ensemble cast made this story sing as I grew to care about the characters around him, big and small. Origins is both a great entry point for newcomers and a triumphant return for veterans like me who felt the last few entries had become stale or missed the mark. It feels like the series I once loved is finally back.
