Everyone’s favorite button-mashing historical figures are back.
The release of another Dynasty Warriors game might seem like an ordinary event. After all, there have been eight so far, and this upcoming one is only the ninth installment if you don’t count all of the offshoots, spin-offs, and re-issues. It is, however, the first Dynasty Warriors game to be made for current-gen hardware and the first to be open world. The game’s based on people who lived over a thousand years ago, and yet somehow the question of whether this will be the Musou game to finally transform the genre feels somehow older.
Meanwhile, Kingdom Come: Deliverance also finally releases this week after many years of trailers and big talk from the developers about its detail and non-nonsense realism. As far as I know you don’t regularly have to remove your armor to go pee though. So much for the realism argument.
More than anything though, the JRPG fan inside me is looking forward to two classics re-emerging: Radiant Historia and Secret of Mana. Both are remakes, although the latter is more drastic, and for that reason has more question marks surrounding it. Still, there’s no better time to plunge yourself into a handheld role-playing game than mid-February when the weather’s still a miserable mix of rain and cold.
