What Is Dynasty Warriors: Origins?

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a hack-and-slash game featuring a new "nameless hero" protagonist, designed to be an accessible entry point for newcomers. This installment promises "the most exhilarating action in the series' history" and utilizes modern gaming hardware to throw more enemies on screen than ever before. IGN's critic, Jada Griffin, praised the game in her review, saying:

"If Dynasty Warriors: Origins is meant to be a new beginning, it’s one that gets off to a masterful start. It doesn’t just have the largest amount of enemies the series has thrown on screen at once, it also deepens its combat, improves its storytelling without getting in the way of the action, and provides a healthy amount of replayability and postgame content – all while looking better than ever. Your amnesiac hero is a bit too much of a blank slate at times, but the impressive ensemble cast made this story sing as I grew to care about the characters around him, big and small. Origins is both a great entry point for newcomers and a triumphant return for veterans like me who felt the last few entries had become stale or missed the mark. It feels like the series I once loved is finally back."
