Ahh that's not like bowling, it's more like mowing the lawn. Bowling involves hitting the foremost pins of a groups at a particular angle. Well, and it has consequences if you miss.

Okay yeah this can't ever be good.

[Bingle]

consequences in warriors games are usually done pretty badly too.

no escape from mediocrity

enemies come in crowds, enemies die in crowds. if one attack does not kill the whole crowd, than it were actually two crowds standing too close.

[Drem]

Also keep in mind that Fist of the North Star Warriors 2 is a bad game even by musou standards.

[winkerwatson]

alort of numbers and they all go up :)

As a result of this thread I have ordered both games on Amazon.

HNK is a great thing and Last Battle is a sublime kind of awful, I'm sure I can get some value out of the latest version.

bad dub is half the fun of any musou game.




And since we're at it: Bad LP-dub sucks, doesn't matter which language, game or genre we're talking about. Why isn't there a Shut up button where you can silence the witty commentary that, too often, isn't that witty at all…

I actually feel pretty upset that there is only one 2D musou game (Dynasty Warriors Advance), and it kind of/really sucks. I guess I could get the actual experience I wanted from it in one of the more proper musous, but somehow that feels like the wrong answer. But there is no right answer.

[diplo]

Important: do any of these HnK games feature Boogal as an enemy?

[diplo]

Holy cow this is embarrassing

[Drem]

No that's exactly how it went in the manga. Kenshiro is just that smart and strong.

[Gironika]

[Mikey]

Man I hate musou games

[Bingle]

What's the best musou game that isn't basara

Man I don't know if I'd include Gundam 3 and Demon Chaos on that list but to each their own! Fist of the North Star 1 is ace though. I'd say One Piece Musou 2 is pretty good too (the first game is fairly interesting in its own ways but on the whole probably not an overall good game due to that game's structure). People seem to like Samurai Warriors but I haven't played any of them.


Overall though the musou genre is in vogue for cheap franchise tie-in games because it's easy to make a game where you just run around beating up enemies until the level says it's over (I'm looking at you Kamen Rider Battride War).

[boojiboy7]

gundam musou 3 was good times yeah

[Dark Age Iron Savior]

is there a list somewhere of games which are widely considered musou-derivatives but are not actually related to the KOEI meta-franchise?

[tacotaskforce]

That sounds like a list I'd have fun making on a day off. I'll let you know if I get consumed with a fit of madness.

[Loki Laufeyson]

i'm surprised there hasn't been warhammer or soul calibur musous yet.

i think demon chaos is worth playing just for the insane spectacle of it.

let's start a non-koei non-basara musou list~

oneechanbara (series)
demon chaos
ninety nine nights (series)
drakengard (series)

Maybe the original Xbox Kingdom Under Fire games count? They have actual strategic elements, though, and your character isn't as good at cleaving through crowds as a true Musou hero would be.

the later kingdom under fire circle of doom is pretty musou too, since it retains crowd cramming
kamen rider battride proves there's actual subtlety in the musou series that makes it less terrible than it could be
then there's saint seiya senki, and gundam breaker and castlevania curse of darkness which uses dynasty warrior's combat system, but actually manages to remove more depth from the combat
koei has some non-franchise musou titles too: mystic heroes, trinity: souls of zill o’ll, and crimson sea (maybe)
star wars battlefront and lotr conquest and tangentially related, being the western cousins of musou

then ofc there's spartan total warrior which is what musou games should aspire to be

Don't you guys dare compare Kingdom Under Fire to this shit. It's an actual Good Game.

How hyped are we for its latest outing? They've been working on it for... what now? Between Shenmue and Duke Nukem Forever years now, right?

[CubaLibre]

[notbov]

the western cousin to musou is the moba

which begs the question, what is GG2 Overture then
