Warriors All-Stars

Battle with Koei Tecmo's most well known heroes from their most beloved franchises in chaotic Musou style! Dynasty Warriors, Nioh, Ninja Gaiden, and other series lend their characters to this large game. Form friendships and upgrade your heroes in Warriors All-Stars!

It's pure fan service, and the story is absolute nonsense, but it's the most fun I have had playing an Omega Force Musou game in a long time. Fans of this long-running series of games will love this, but it won't do much to make anyone looking in give the series a chance.

In the early days of Dynasty Warriors on the PlayStation 2, every new release felt like a new experience to be heralded in, no matter if it were a core entry, Xtreme Legends, or Empires. As the series grew long in the tooth, it took Omega Force trying to expand into other historical time periods or popular franchises to keep the series feeling fresh. As more and more IP’s grew under the Warriors umbrella, some marketing executive must’ve had the brilliant idea to mix together a majority of the IPs Koei Tecmo has gotten their hands on. The culmination of twenty years of Warriors games is finall...

Omega Force's long-running Musou series has featured a wide variety of spin-offs over the years. This time around, plenty of familiar faces from across the Koei Tecmo universe have come together to duke it out so let's get ready to hack and slash.

Warriors All-Stars may lack even local multiplayer and have a few systems that could be better handled but the fact that it rarely takes things seriously and is unabashed at being a crossover game for the fans with tight combat controls and you have a title that has a little something for everyone.

Warriors All Stars does a fair job of being more than just a tie-in, and brings some genuine innovation to the table. If you ignore the trope-filled storyline and strange setting, it functions as a great stop-gap before the larger release of Dynasty Warriors 9 or as a meaty hack ‘n’ slash to get into in short bursts.

A gratifying love letter to fans that appeals mostly to those who also enjoy the Dynasty Warriors series.

Warriors All-Stars is good silly fun as the story never takes itself too seriously, nor do the cameos. But in the process a few huge staples we’ve come to expect have been stripped, much to the detriment of a project of this scale. I really wish it didn’t have to be an “either or” situation.

Warriors All Stars is a grand celebration of the history and popularity of Koei Tecmo. Unfortunately, the celebration fails to deliver a satisfying video game experience. Every time I had to re-unlock a character, or study three different menus to try and guess which missions I had to avoid so I could get the next proper story chapter, Warriors All Stars felt less like a celebration, and more like homework.

When you think of prominent Hack ‘n’ Slash games, most tend to think that the Warriors series is, hands down, the best there is out there. They’ve made it their business to provide an unforgettable experience with each game release and Warriors All-Stars is no exception to this rule. Being a fan of several spin-off Warrior series, including Gundam, One Piece and Hyrule Warriors I was keen to get my hands on this newest addition to the ever expanding Warriors universe. Within the first ...

Like any other iterative series, Warriors has its faithful followers that will devour every new entry with gusto. However, if Koei Tecmo wants to attract newcomers, I really think they need to start bringing some real innovation to the formula. Something beyond the minor mechanical tweaks in each entry. Something that will actually surprise players, and break the series out of its “fame” for repetitiveness.
