Dynasty Warriors: Origins, developed by Koei-Tecmo’s Omega Force, adapts the famous Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms into knock down, drag out, 1 vs 100 style battles. That detour through games that I felt were excellent applications of Omega Force’s brand of hack-and-slash action gave the studio the new perspective it needed to come back to its signature franchise and shake shit up. Finally, there’s block and parry mechanics and an ultimate ability called “musou” used when you’re impossibly surrounded or need to put extra hurt on an enemy general.
