Arslan: The Warriors of Legend

There’s no making up for a lackluster story that clearly pads the game length, unimaginative missions, or a weak combo structure, but Arslan: The Warriors of Legend could have been a much better experience had it not been marred with inexcusable framerate problems and sullied with glitches.

Arslan the warriors of Legend is a Third person combat / tactical simulator that tells the story of a Prince on the run from his own country. The whole game is dialogued in Japanese however it does have English Subtitles that are sometimes difficult to keep track of whilst fighting through waves of enemies.

Minor bugs start to stack up in Arslan: The Warriors of Legend, and they wind up sucking some of the air out of a fun Warriors game. Omega Force definitely has the formula for fun down pat, and they captured the essence of the series, so check it out if you're a fan of the source material.
