The Warriors games have always played fast and loose with history, but they've also been constrained by it. Omega Force's decision to adhere to a certain degree of historical accuracy has meant that the game's more fantastical elements have been kept in check. That all changed with the release of the first Warriors Orochi game, which brought characters from the Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors franchises together. Now the third in the series is here and the developer has really decided to cut loose. The result suits both creator and product: this is the craziest, most comprehensive and almost certainly the best Warriors game to date. For those who have only ever experienced overwhelming victory in the Warriors games, the opening may come as a surprise. On a volcanic battlefield, an enormous Hydra destroys your army, leaving just three generals alive.
Teetering on the brink of defeat, you're rescued by a mystic named Kagura, who offers you the opportunity to travel back in time and amass an army capable of beating the Hydra. Your main objectives, then, are to ensure that certain generals survive the battles they previously died in, so that you can recruit them to your cause. You won't be able to save them all, however, as some are destined to fall in battle, though by completing certain side missions you can unlock a new version of the original mission, this time with the chance of rescuing the officer in question. It's a neat structural change that affects the way you approach the game and rewards the completist.

These additional quests are well worth taking on, as there are plenty of strong characters that can only be saved in this way. Indeed, there are plenty of characters, full stop. The game boasts well over 120, in fact, and they're not just taken from the two main Warriors franchises, with newcomers from Tecmo and Koei's other IP.
Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa is obviously the biggest draw, but you'll also encounter characters from Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War and Warriors: Legends of Troy. Not all are created equal, however, and the sheer volume of the cast presents some balancing issues. Dead or Alive's Ayane is a strong choice but Lianshi from Dynasty Warriors 7 seems bewilderingly powerful, able to decimate crowds from a safe distance, even on the higher difficulty settings. Such minor issues can be forgiven in light of what such a substantial roster brings to the game. The three-character setup offers thousands of potential officer combinations, allowing you to adopt a team that really suits your play style.
