Arslan: The Warriors of Legend is an enjoyable take on the Dynasty Warriors genre but not worth the full price for newcomers of the original anime series. Despite its distinct character design, interesting combat mechanics and in-game rewards, lack of variety in its level design holds it back. <img decoding="async" data-attachment-id="23596" data-permalink="https://press-start.com.au/reviews/2016/02/10/arslan-warriors-legend-review/attachment/b_story-10/" data-orig-file="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/B_STORY.jpg" data-orig-size="2000,160" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="B_STORY" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/B_STORY-300x24.jpg" data-large-file="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/B_STORY-600x48.jpg" class="size-full wp-image-23596 aligncenter" src="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/B_STORY.jpg" alt="B_STORY" width="2000" height="160" srcset="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/B_STORY.jpg 2000w, https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/B_STORY-300x24.jpg 300w, https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/B_STORY-600x48.jpg 600w, https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/B_STORY-560x45.jpg 560w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" />There are three modes in the game – story, free and online. In story mode, players experience the story of the popular Japanese animation the game is based on, playing as the young Prince Arslan and his band of warriors as they battle the Lusitanian empire. There’s not much to say about the story without spoiling it, but the game follows the storyline of the original series, including all of its rich lore, which can be found in the in-game encyclopaedia – detailing the various battles, characters and terminology. There’s no doubt that the game is designed for the fans.<img decoding="async" data-attachment-id="23600" data-permalink="https://press-start.com.au/reviews/2016/02/10/arslan-warriors-legend-review/attachment/screen_0002_layer-3-4/" data-orig-file="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SCREEN_0002_Layer-31.jpg" data-orig-size="1500,400" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="SCREEN_0002_Layer 3" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SCREEN_0002_Layer-31-300x80.jpg" data-large-file="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SCREEN_0002_Layer-31-600x160.jpg" class="size-full wp-image-23600 aligncenter" src="https://press-start.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SCREEN_0002_Layer-31.jpg" alt="SCREEN_0002_Layer 3" width="1500"...
