Although I should say this, you must be a fan of the series or else you won't get the full experience out of it, you might as well be playing dynasty warriors.The gameplay is very similar to the dynasty series, borderline copy and paste almost...But with some variation to make it not such a direct copy. You find cards on the battlefield after defeating certain enemies, completing objectives, or finishing a level. These cards give you passive buffs such as increased power, defense, musou\/special gauge attributes, increased health, etc...In order of increasing rarity you have C, B, A, (possibly S as well, I will change this once if I find one). As you go up in rarity you get more passives per card. There is a mini card crafting menu that lets you combine (10) cards to create a new one.What I did enjoy though is the mount combat, I haven't played a dynasty game where you kind of want to fight on your horse. You can actually pull of combos, which I find is a very nice touch.Weapons, you can carry two at a time and can swtich between them in combat. The weapons work in such a way that as you keep using your selected weapon and defeat enemies it will get stronger by recieveing elemental effects and increased combos. And you can get different weapons which have different elemental properties, there are 4 in total.The story mode follows the current season 1 anime very closely, so if you haven't finished watching then I would suggest to avoid this game if you don't want any spoilers. Progression through the story is seamless it goes: Battle -> story cutscene -> battle -> story cutscene -> battle and repeat. There is no pause in between to equip cards or weapons, it is all done in the menu during the battle phase. The game is quite linear. You are free to move around and kill enemies, but eventually you have to complete a certain objective to advance. The stages are broken up in segments, so continuing with my explanation, you have to do\/complete certain objective to advance to the next segment. You cannot proceed if you don't complete it.Then of course you have all the different characters you can play, each having their own skillset and weapon of choice.I should also mention that there is online-coop, I personally haven't tried it yet, maybe a bit down the road. But it is there for those that want to jump into online play right away.Graphics, I feel are very nice, the whole anime-style drawing of characters with the 3D-ish backgrounds. You have many graphic options in the menu that you can mess around, which I feel is very nice for those that do like to change their graphical settings. I'm not so great with the terminology with these settings, I just set it to whatever they give me, but I will say the visuals are very pleasing to my eye.From a hours:money stand point. I feel it is a bit overpriced, you're pretty much paying for the anime name, which I don't see it being justifiable of a 60$ USD price tag, this feels more like a 30-40$ game. So you must like the anime and the gameplay to almost justify this purchase.Overall this is great game, a solid "warriors" type of game. And one last time, I can't stress this enough though, you must like the anime in order to get the full enjoyment out of this game, else the game will be mediocre to you. I hope this review helps you decide in purchasing this game or not.*edit* 2\/18\/2016: So after putting some hours into the game, I would like to change my opinion a little bit about needing to like the anime before purchasing this game. The gameplay is actually really fun. After spending some time and unlocking new weapon combos, they look and feel really cool. The combos feel really unique and fit the characters really well, which I really enjoyed. With that said, I feel that if you do like Musou kind of games, you can definitely enjoy this game without having to watch the anime. As for price I still stand by my review in that it is a bit overpriced. BUT if you do have some extra cash to spare, then by all means purchase this game, it is worth it.. The game has a few major issues, of which I will post here: 1) The gameplay. For those of you who are drawn here as Dynasty\/Samurai warriors fans, know that the gameplay in this game will feel like a snail's pace when compared to these two series. Instead of there being officers proper in the game, the game throws a lot of 'Generals' at you, and the 'Generals' are frequently uninteresting in their combat style. Compared to the consistent named-units you get in the Dynasty\/Samurai warriors games, this honestly feels like you're fighting fodder to get to a 'boss' at the end of a level. And what this does is create a feeling of wasting time until you can get to the end. Not only that, but the idea of the 'Charges' - while a brilliant idea that's fun in the first execution or two - does not stay fun. Once you've done it once or twice, all it becomes is a mechanic that has you 'moving forward' instead of feeling like the leader of an army.2) The visuals. Dear god, the visuals. Anime style is perfectly fine - I would've LOVED if the anime visuals were beautifully done, like watching an anime. That'd of been a huge turn-on for me personally. Instead, we got some kind of mutant abomination of anime - where every character does not feel like they were animated, so much as they were drawn on a page, cut out of the page, and treated like cardboard cutouts placed overtop a background with mouthes that flash up and down in the movement. 3) The story - I do not think I am qualified to overly talk on this one, but the initial presentation of the story created a very repetitious level design out the gate. You start with a story that has you do a few mechanics. Cool, I can get into that! Then it cuts to a flashback of... something, in the past. Which is really just a nicely-masked tutorial. Ok, cool. Then we start the very first level again, only... from a few minutes before the same point we had already played. Literally, the first level... Played itself twice. So it was a slice of the level that it made you play twice with an extension on the beginning\/end... It just didn't really feel fluid. The things I liked: + I felt the tutorials were nicely implemented into the game, to create story+gameplay. I like when games do that, though everyone may not agree. + I like the customization of the characters, and know that had I been able to get into this game, I would've enjoyed using the 'cards' system to customize my stats and skill loadouts. + Voice acting is really nice, though it's only in Japanese. I didn't mind it too much. + THE GAME HAS CO-OP CAMPAIGN! Can play through with a friend, BUT A huge minus because your friend has to be either CLEARED of the stage OR ON THE SAME STAGE AS YOU, or else they can't join. So, if you're gonna pla with someone, make sure you're at the same point or one of you will be going back! This was a refund for me. I might re-buy it at $20.00, but not worth it at $50.00. great for a fan of samurai\/dynasty warriors series! even if you are not game is still pretty neat . slaughtering thousands of soldiers in matter of minutes now in HDGood combat mechanics , interesting story , nice music , many collectables and new options that we didnt have in Warriors series.maybe a bit overpriced but its worth it to me since this sort of game usualy have around 100-150 hours playtime for me.. It seems like KOEI is learning how to port the games on PC. From technical point only down side is that, there is no M & K support. I would recommend this game everyone who enjoys Warriors games.. A Koei Tecmo game with:Online Coop60 FPSbetter graphics than the ps4 version4K SupportIs this real life?. Probably the best Musou PC port to exist, good going Koei! We have a PS4 port instead of a PS3 port, Controller button prompts, 4K support, and Online multiplayer all in one port. The game itself is around 10 hours long with not much replayability but the actual story\/gameplay is quite good. Here are the issues, or rather single issue about the port:- Framedrops like crazy (Even on lowest settings around small crowds my framerate drops to about 30-40 with an FX-8370 and GTX 970 on lowest settings, which shouldn't happen.) (Mardan Rushes dropped my framerate to 13 FPS at one point on medium settings.). It's weird when I really enjoyed a game, and I mean \/really\/ enjoyed it, but still can't recommend the purchase. Arslan: Warriors of Legend has perhaps the best combat of any Musou game, the best action, the best graphics, the best 'story' (clearly borrowed from an anime), the best character selection, and the best- well, everything.But the entire game is let down by a lack of content. Previous Musou games guaranteed not only dozens of hours of main story to chew through, but plenty of free modes, unlockables, and 'what ifs'. Arslan gives none of that and only has a 9 hour long story-mode to show for it with 150 dollars of cut content resold to the player as DLC.It's a shame, too, since the story was lovely and well presented. Even at half-price (30 USD at time of writing), it wasn't enough of a game to make me feel like I got my money's worth though.. First a short summary on what to expect of the new game by Omega Force the studio that brought you the Dynasty Warriors series. if your a fan of "Musou" titles then I'm afraid to say this game is a bit far from other Dynasty titles.though I say that it doesn't necessarily mean anything bad. It just means that the game tried to do something new with Arslan. if your expecting a lot of things to grind for like costumes, side stories or such, afraid to say Arslan does not have much to grind for. but what it does have is a good combo system that takes after the years of experience that the studio Omega Force has cultivated. one thing new to the game is the "Charge Shift" system that makes you feel like one of them bad\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665commanders in one of them [insert feudal era movie here].Honestly it was fun ramming into hordes of pitiful enemies who falls to their deaths when charged by hundreds no thousands of calvary and infantry men in the game. it was a short but fun experience.Gameplay:The gameplay is a modified "Dynasty Warriors" game, the characters are all OP as usual but even more so with this title. the grind you may expect from a dynasty game isn't there anymore at least not as much. but that makes it even more or less easier for new players who are fans of the anime who haven't tried dynasty titles to transition in and maybe adjust to the title?I honestly like how each character has his\/her own skill sets that doesn't look recycled or modified. though it may have reduced the amount of combos you could do but it is expected of something that is new to the series as Arslan is.Graphics:I'm an anime fan so I'm going to be biased here and say I love how they manage to make a balance between anime and pastel art.Sounds and Voices:Japanese voices what else do you want? English subs? they got 'em too :DOverall:I will recommend the game for people who are fans of the anime or looking for an alternative to Dynasty Warriors.
