Warriors Orochi 2

Sure Koei keeps releasing the same game with new skins and slight game play variation every few months. If you played one Koei game and liked it, chances are you'll like any Koei game. I've played roughly 6 of the various Warriors games (Samurai, Dynasties, Orochi, etc..) and they are pretty much the same game over and over. You start off with a goal like say, save all the peasants, and then mow down 100's of enemies getting that goal completed. Repeat until the end. That said, I like them. Don't ask me why. They are just mindless button mashers. I love leveling up characters and every one has plenty of characters to level up. Try one out, if you enjoy it, pick up some of the others. Most older ones can be had cheap now, and since there's not much difference between the old and the new, you'll get the idea how the games play and save some $$ doing it.

There's just something fun about being a superhero surrounded my regular people. The plot is about as thick as rain and the story translates worse than a '80s Jackie Chan movie, but the game is just a lot of fun. It's just pure, repetitive, button mashing fun. I think it's because you're this super-powerful guy that makes it entertaining, and the level-up/improvement system along with ever increasing difficulties keeps you coming back for more.

This is not a very complicated game. It is your basic hack and slash game. There are really no strategies involved, just button smashing. It is perfect for times when you just don't want to think and strategize too much after a long day. It is fun to power-up and upgrade weapons to enhance the game play.

NOTE: If you are looking for a DEEP game, look elsewhere!!
