This might actually be the first dynasty warriors I've played that the morale system actually made some impact to the flow of the battle. I appreciate some of the mixture of Empires mechanics and DW9 skill system but retaining the general combos but it does hurt not having a full roster and battles beyond Chi Bi. But these are leading towards something pretty decent down the line for a DW10 (maybe). Here's hoping but demo was great fun!
OMG the demo looks so good! The voice acting is wonderful! And the gameplay is satisfying as hell! Can't wait for the full release! *Can't wait for most people to pursue Lu Bu day one...*
Already did. took me a minute and some strategy on Heroic. i slapped him eventually. On normal is was on my first try. I want them to buff him slightly or more in both Normal and hard though
I like how in this game there are other viable strategy to win the battles. For example, if you ignore the characters telling you to leave them behind so they will hold off the enemy advance while you go do the main objective and help them survive to move forward, they will join the main forces and even open up a new advantage later. Aiding Sun Jian and Liu Bei will provide new advantages in the battle if you get to them in time and help them in this fight. Both of them will advance to the North outpost and provide a ambush advantage for the final encounter.
I continually check to see if Koei dropped vids and every time they do my hype level increases. Relatively beginner to the Musou genre (Hyrule Warriors/AoC). This is a day 1 purchase for me.
@@RenegadeVile nah im sorry i dissagree strong i got like 300hrs in dw9 this is more like a mixture to me just in this demo of dw8+dw9+wolong fallen dynasty in a way. Tbh i only prefer the focus on the battle aspect of the game more its almost like playing romance of the three kingdoms inside dynasty warriors with the look of wolong
@@kristophirlewis2076 I platinum'ed DW9 (not sure why I put myself through that) and while the game wasn't terrible, it really was a very shallow experience. Shallow combat mechanics. Shallow territory control mechanics. Shallow open world mechanics. Koei needs to consolidate its efforts and focus. Every time they either do something totally different, or try to broaden the focus too far, it ends poorly. And that's not coming from someone who insists on every game being identical. DW7 is one of my favorites simply because it improved so much on DW5 and changed quite a few things. A hypothetical DW10 can go much further. But the core needs to stay the same. (unique inputs for each weapon anyone?)
What an absolute b@llbuster! Everyone who said Dynasty Warriors and musou games as a whole were getting easy ... Omega Force has granted your wish. It has seem like an eternity since I struggled with a musou game and I enjoyed every minute of it. Looking forward to the full release of Origins in January!
Played the shit out of the demo and I CANNOT wait for this game to drop .. so nostalgic and it’s how I imagined I was playing the series way back then 😂
This feel fresh. Dynasty Warriors was in need of a glow up, and I feel it delivered. You can't just rush in blindly with even power levels anymore... duels are an awesome addition/return to the series, fending off enemy tactics keeps things busy and the "Hyper" Warriors (AKA Lu Bu in this instance) really force you to use the mechanics the game offers to bring down. Even normal soldiers can feel threatening now in large numbers. I am sold.
Was genuinely amazed that my first foray into the demo, on Normal, resulted in me failing the mission because Yuan Shao fell in battle due to not utilizing myself and managing enemy officers properly...in about 5 minutes no less. Lu Bu also fucking slaps I love it, DW has never been closer to a state of being "so fucking back" as they seem to be right now because goddamn this demo was fantastic. Definitely getting the game on launch!
Got to see the game myself, and I have to say, thank god the gameplay is similar to Samurai Warriors 5. It's the most dynamic, and I appreciate that they reused the same combat system. I did notice that Gongsun has eyes compared to all other generic officers even if he wears the same gear, so that might be important to notice, as it may mean taht he does have some importance.
I can't wait for dynasty warriors origins hopefully they will make a dynasty warriors origins empire game/campaign mode like in total war games in the future
I glad this on both ps and xbox got to play it...and oh boy ..im alittle worried how fast your allies can just lose ..unless you go in the right spot for your allies. Like if you start with liu bei group it seems like everyone else gets cooked but if you start at sun jian it gets easier
I played the demo on hard and it was hard 🗿 but still my preorder is in. dynasty warriors is like a guilty pleasure game of mine so I’m an absolute sucker for this one
So replayed this a few times. I got a lot of thoughts so far. Positvily on hard the Morale is like the make or break. You may be suppose to be a one man army but you arent that just by brute force alone you gotta be smart about it. You cant ignore your allies in this one it has an impact on the battle field really like i actually managed to intercept Xu Rongs ambush without Sun Jian noticing which didnt drop Morale. Was good it wasnt just scripted but your input mattered. Also its really disheartening at the start how many allies fall but it felt soo good beating the odds. Combat at first felt quite awkward and a lot at once for my boomer brain with evade, parry, abilities and so on but managed to adjust later Now concerns. It may be me but many of the Voice actors dont sound as commital all sound rather monotone in this demo which... i dunno removes the magic of a DW. It may also be me but they all sound way too similar that it lacks umpf. I hope this is just them using the first batch of voice files on english and we gonna get it better at the full game (which may be rough tbh) But we shall see. Out of the weapons I enjoyed the Podao more it has solid impact and speed that fit my style personally Neat thing who your companion is also affects your starting position.
This is awesome it a combination of all their spinoff systems, shield breaks, executions, etc. Also come on man lu just spawned and immediately bitch slaped me 😭
i would have enjoyed it on my steamdeck but the demo wont play the game only i make it to the title screen but i did found out they have plans for it because it has steamdeck graphic settings for it but for now its not ready for steamdeck yet.
Played it on heroic on my first playthrough and streamed it because im a masochist. after i beat the game on Hard i played normal... beat lu bu first try... he is crazy strong on hardest difficulty esp when you dont understand the mechanics as much. i am excited to play the full release for sure
100% I feel like this is gonna be one of those games where once you start to really understand the mechanics, you’d be an unstoppable force on the battlefield but until then this game kinda kicks your ass haha
I was underwhelmed by this demo. There was some cool fan service additions like the soundtrack and re-adding duels, but I don’t know man something felt lacklustre about the whole experience. I’ve still pre-ordered, but I’m of a more negative experience of the demo than a positive one.
The combat's great, but the battle's themselves are boring. The story doesn't seem to really play out during the battle. For example, I was expecting some objectives about getting supplies to Sun Jian, or reinforcing Yuan Shu, but nothing of the sort happens. The battles are very static; at most you get generic officer reports about their status. The ambush at the end of the battle was cool, but it's obviously a mechanic that will apply to multple battles, as indicated by the generic dialogue accompanying it.
@@lordfarquaad8601 This is a big complaint of mine as well, the overall battle just kinda... plods along. They tried to bring back the old DW3-5 event sound for nostalgia, but no events during battles? This demo made me more worried for the future of DW than anything else
@@Rudie95 Eh, I don't think you can get much worse than 9. The combat in this one is a step in the right direction I think. 7,8, and 9 all had extremely boring combat, and while I would like interesting battles and stories like 7 and 8 had, good fighting mechanics are about all I should expect from Dynasty Warriors
Here’s my hot take. I’m happy that there is not a cast of 100 people to play as. I don’t have time to do that anymore and it lead to a boring grind that has gone out of fashion for most people.
Long story short, this is a solo DW game where you’re playing as the Wanderer, but you can bring in other characters as “companions” to the battlefield, where you can play as them for a limited time once per battle
I'm downloading the demo myself but the gameplay feels like a polished version of DW9 combat, and clones are back again as well as I've seen in other videos on youtube please tell me I'm wrong
Read my mind! It feels like a super refined DW9 combat system, but with that being said tho, if the DW9 combat felt like this, I defs would have enjoyed it more
@@KoeiKollection that sours the mood, I have to try it myself but it's looks like I'm going to keep my money for monster hunter wilds and get this one when it's on discount list
I’m so pumped but can we PLEASE stop with the damn silent MCs! Just pay a damn voice actor! Between that and the lack of actual speaking during the war table really irritates me!😓😓 why is that so hard?
I'm still very much mixedo n this game. For every decent thing (graphics, voice acting and story) there's cut features, a boring-looking protagonist, etc. Why couldn't they just put this kind of effort into giving us a proper DW10? If this game flops (which it very well might) we can kiss another mainline entry goodbye.
@@crislunaverellen6563 I agree, however, as I pointed out, IF it fails, we're likely never getting anything again. Since this spin-off looks like they poured a great deal of money into it. Granted, Tecmo Koei is a big company in Japan with some capital, but they never seem to be all too willing to throw a significant amount of that money at DW games.

They put Duel Mode from DW 4 in the battlefield, sooo good.
Man I wish Jamieson Price back to voice Lu Bu again, no offense to Kyle Hebert tho, he did a great job.
Soundtrack sounds incredible as always
The die has been cast.all that remains, is to see this through.
Cao Cao always did have a better grip on things
I came after your "Do NOT puruse LuBu video" and as expected, you got your butt kicked by Lubu again 🤣

I was super surprised with the difficulty, but it was a pleasant one. I had to bump it down to easy/historian for this footage lol
Lu Bu sounds great in this game
His voice actor,Kyle Hebert is COOKING GOOD.
When I died on my first playthrough I was genuinely excited, I'm loving it I cannot wait to experience the game

Looks great!
Sun Jian is getting more older after every dynasty warriors game
Would of been nice if they added the weapon clash when fighting an officer
TsaoTsao tryna recruit the Nameless Hero 🥴
I love the demo so much
The SSX combat was incredible, which makes it even sadder that we're stuck playing as the Nameless Hero. I'm not sold.
I cant wait on saving Sun Jian scenario

We do hope we allow to create own own empire or follow any of the 3 kingdoms
The empires version is gonna be so good 🥹🥹🥹
I just beat him to long ago after 2 hours the only thing that scares me is having to go theough that truama again in the real game 😅

Dynasty warriors has redeemed themselves from 9
For once they done something right and very important one, remove the travel trips.
The Lipsync is kinda weird. Hope they fix it or i will play in OVA
Is Gohan voice acting everyone in the game?
Will we be able to play as other characters?
played demo man lu but is beast lol i was running from him looking for health 😂
The dialogue sections..they’re good, but something about the patterns of talking and facial expressions are unsettling..
Played it on heroic on my first playthrough and streamed it because im a masochist. after i beat the game on Hard i played normal... beat lu bu first try... he is crazy strong on hardest difficulty esp when you dont understand the mechanics as much. i am excited to play the full release for sure
