I'm intersting in getting this game. But, I will wait until it's on sale. I literally just finished Fire Emblem Warriors and while I enjoyed it, it was not a great game, and probably not worth full price unless you like the genre.
I generally don't do button-combo games or fighting games.
I'm looking forward to Hyrule Warriors when it goes on sale because it seems like it will not have some of the annoyances I have with Fire Emblem Warriors and be fun fan service. Whereas Aonuma's Puzzle Zelda's (Wind Waker to Skyward Sword) increasingly reduce combat to focus on puzzles, Warriors does the opposite, and is good for simple fun.
I bought this for my lad and had an hour or so on it. It just seemed like a fairly dull button masher with loads of minions you could kill really easily in a field by a castle.
My lad didn't play it and my drawer of shame was so full of games I sold it on. Maybe I should have given it a bit more time?
Yes, CLC.Sheff, it's true that it's trivially easy to destroy the minions. I haven't played it, but in FEW the first few levels tell you how to play with super easy enemies and few officers to fight. You can get through several missions without upgrading your characters and only have a few real boss fights.
As it went on, there were more and more officers on the battlefield you must defeat, who are harder and actually defend. I assume the same is true in Hyrule Warriors. It also depends on your difficulty setting, of course. I thought it would be a fun smash everything and was right. In fact, FEW gets more tactical as the game goes on, and I found that a little annoying!
What a disappointment. Could they not have built a new game on a new franchise instead of importing? Wii U owners are getting a big slap in the face again.
They did Gwyper: it's called Fire Emblem Warriors. And then they spent a little bit of time porting this one over. But it seems they just pump out these Warrior games. I'm sure they are hard at work on the next one.
I admit I don't understand why making previous games available to more gamers as a slap in the face. If I like a game I want more people to play it. And it didn't seem to slow down Fire Emblem Warriors much at all. But I skipped the Wii U.
So this game looks utterly terrible, tell me why I’m wrong please.
It depends on the type of game you like. I'm not a fan of Fire Emblem, but heard Warriors is good fun. It's a button combo fest which I don't usually play, but I thought it was cathartic. I would never pay full price for it and never claim it was a great game. I'll get Hyrule Warriors when the price goes down and I'm ready for a mindless slaughter again with fun Zelda paint on it.
So probably some time next year.
But if it's not your genre Gdogg2001, it might not be for you. I'd say pass.
It's very satisfying to play through if you like button mashing your way through thousands of enemies! Not as tactical as Fire Emblem Warriors
I'm glad to hear that, Daft Ada. I never played a Warriors game and was annoyed that my mindless domination strategy wouldn't work in later missions. Most added just enough tactics to make it more fun, but some went way overboard. If there is less of that in some ways, then I might enjoy it more.
Might be one for me to keep an eye out for in classifieds when it's sub-£30; shouldn't take too long I hope, but Switch games are holding well.
That's my plan as well, Qactuar!
