As someone that has never experienced the story of Arslan before, it drew me in and kept me captivated until the end, making me groan with displeasure that I’d have to wait for the story to be continued. It may be light on content compared to similarly playing titles such as Dragon Quest Heroes or Dynasty Warriors 8, which will definitely be an issue for many, but Arslan: The Warriors of Legend has soul, and it’s this soul that makes it a wise choice for anyone into the franchise or Musou games in general to pick up.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2016\u002F02\u002Farslan-the-warriors-of-legend-review\u002F","2016-02-09","7\u002F10",{"id":98,"author":99,"outlet":102,"summary":107,"review_url":108,"review_date":95,"original_score":109,"normalized_score":110},47703,{"id":100,"name":101},4080,"Robert Ramsey",{"id":103,"logo":104,"name":105,"website_url":106,"score_format":46},63,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPush-Square-Logo.jpg","Push Square","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002F","Hiromu Arakawa's re-imagining of Japanese novel series The Heroic Legend of Arslan is a great fit for a Warriors title: it's packed full of huge battles between warring nations and peppered with memorable characters.
