DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered

Gameplay

This remaster of the 2001 musou keeps the PS2 game’s structure and combat: one officer takes on entire armies across vast battlefields. Omega Force adds a dodge, a perfect-dodge counterattack, a perfect guard, weapon fusion and checkpoints after a defeat. Push Square finds these additions successful, and all of them can be switched off for a classic mode. TheSixthAxis, however, finds the perfect guard and dodge windows rather strict.

Content

The game combines DYNASTY WARRIORS 3 and its Xtreme Legends expansion, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5. It features over 40 officers, including Ziluan from DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS, new scenarios and two-player local co-op, according to KOEI TECMO. PlayStation Universe praises the co-op and the rock soundtrack. Push Square and PlayStation Universe criticise empty battlefields that take long to cross, deadly archers and repetitive solo action.
