I am a huge fan of dynasty warriors. Every time they make a new game, they tinker with something. I think I enjoyed the gameplay of number 3 most. 4 seemed lackluster, then 5 was good. I think that tinkering and experimenting is wonderful, but I will also agree with everyone else that this title could have used some more player experience testing. The combat itself can be rather fun. But the tactical element does not feel particularly vital. My contribution to the fights as a whole doesnt feel that vital. Especially since I have taken to ignoring major battle points for hours at a time without any consequence. In the other games, the actual game will expire and you can lose by doing nothing. I like the open world concept, but it needs to be metered by a sense of urgency, or no battle at all perhaps. Or maybe you as the PC give the word to go ahead with a particular battle. I'm enjoying the hell out of this game regardless of those criticisms, but I can see why others would score it lower. Thank you again Koei for your hardwork, please continue to experiment and wow us.

This game is a fantastic combination of roguelike, exploration, sci fi, and a little bit of the movie "Aliens". There is a sense of urgency to the game, you have a bit of a built in time limit. Theres a very mercantile feel to the game, in that you are exploring an alien planet for profit and you begin judging objects you find by their percieved financial value and function to help you get more dosh. Makes me feel like the evil corporate guy from Aliens. It is still in early access, but its a righteous addition to my collection of favorite games.

The textures are wrapped around wireframes that vaguely represent humans. Characters are caricatures of what an alien might think a human is like. Its cartoony, but lacks the depth to make that adorable. Ultimately, did more harm than good to the aggregate success of humankind.

It has some homage to old school DOS based graphic novels, thats one of only two redeeming qualities it has. Soundtrack is great, but the heavy handed need to assume what your audience feels and then berate them for giving them no choice is lame. The open model for LGBT players setting their own character up is pretty sweet. The story takes a back seat to the pedantry, and it very much suffers for it. I was actually interested in the game, but by the end, I found myself just hoping it would be over soon. Let me be clear. This is not a bad game. Its just not for everyone. This game has a very specific audience. It, however, pantomimed as a game for everyone. And thats a bit dishonest. Not at all worth the price tag.

The game may be good, I cant tell however, because there is TOO MUCH LAG IN MY SINGLE PLAYER GAME. Sloppy execution, who the **** knows about story, cant get 10 minutes in at a time.
