I would love to play extra story content releases for games i love (persona 5, BotW) but i just cant with musou zzzzfest
- Thread starter nogoodnamesleft
- Start date
The way people felt about Avengers (greatest crossover/etc) is honestly how I felt about warriors orochi 1 (and then 2). That shit was cocaine to me as a child.
I push through them due to the related properties. That said, I can do mindless fun once in a while.
Wait, so you're saying P5S doesn't have the "Joker has secured the west gate" "Do not pursue Morgana" gameplay loop?
I like Musou combat, but I hate all that crap, which is why DQH are the only ones I truly care about.

Have you watched the Giant Bomb Quick Look for Strikers? I would recommend that, if not.
If anything, my biggest complaint about Strikers is that it DOESN'T play enough like a musou game
It wasn't until I happened to be picked to cover a virtual "closed doors" press event that I tilted my head toward Strikers. Really wasn't expecting to see so little Musou. I'm into it.
BOTW is my favorite game, period, but I'm struggling with Age of Calamity.

I think this thread would be good with a poll: which crossover musou series is the best?
On one hand I loved DW back in the PS2 era but definitely played it the hell out. These crossovers have me curious again (and Dragon Quest Heroes 2 was good) but it seems like the quality is all over the place.

Been a Musou fan since Samurai Warriors 3 Wii, it's only a mash fest if you play easy or normal (in some games) to be honest, there's a lot of strategy involved, but that also depend on the games too.
The licensed ones that try to imitate the games they're based on are actually very good, I think my favorite was Fire Emblem Warriors even though the lack of content hurts it for me.
Age of Calamity having fully localized dub + meaningful cutscenes was the cherry on top <3
Playing Warriors Orochi when you're not native English is a pain, Japanese dub + lenghty English subtitles, you're kinda forced to skip in-battle conversations.

We're going to have to agree to disagree here. To me it feels like a musou game where they replaced taking over enemy outposts with smaller scale battles.
The showtime attacks are what regular specials would be in a musou game except you push both triangle and circle.
The fact that you stop time and attack enemy weaknesses with persona skills also feels like a slight twist on the weakness bars of recent musou games except that instead of attacking enemies a bunch with specific skills or hitting them after specific attacks you just do it once and they're knocked down because it's a Persona spinoff.
It's fine that people disagree, but I think it's odd that people are like "nah, this one isn't a musou at all." I would guess that most people who don't like musou games are not opposed to the part where there are tons of enemies and you take over outposts. It's probably the way the actual game plays when you're fighting the enemies.
What do you enjoy about them?
I remember kind of liking one on 3DS, it had a bit of an RTS feel to it. But I seriously can't get into any other musou, for the same reason I don't enjoy Diablo and similar games. Just moving from point A to point B while mashing the attack button doesn't do it for me.
I guess part of it is growing up with the series, seeing the characters personalities through multiple games (and seeing non-descript officers become unique playable characters) made me grow to love them. With Samurai Warriors it had fucking Nobunaga Oda and some cool ass ninjas in Hanzo and Kotaro, and then when warriors orochi smashed the worlds together it was the crossover of a lifetime.
and yea it feels cool to smash a million people to death per level. Plus the multiple difficulties gave me something to level up and work towards that would yield better weapons.
strikers is a musou, it's just better-written and more mechanically deep than most
if you like it, I think it will be hard to play another one after strikers
but yes, TC, it can be disappointing when you want more content and it's a genre you don't care for. i don't really do fighting or rhythm games, so i was shut out of persona spinoffs for a while

Yeah, I hate musou in general. If I were to play them, I'll play on the easiest difficulty so I can skip through most of the combat to enjoy the story.
Strikers is not a musou. "Fighting a lot of guys at once" is not the sole criterion to make a game musou.
How many times?

Its sounds like people have varying opinions of what constitutes a musou game.
From this thread I can see at least three different categories -
1. Hordes of enemies
2. X/Y button combos
3. Capturing keeps and managing battlefield objectives.
The third point is what defines a musou game for me. Hordes of enemies and x/y combos and you could be talking about a bunch of different character action games.
Since Strikers doesn't seem to have any keeps or battlefield objectives at all, and the number of enemies you are fighting at once feels fewer than other musou games. I do not consider it a musou game at all.

OP I'm going to guess you have no idea how Strikers plays.
It's not the craziest game in terms of mechanics but there are some fun systems that's adapted from the main Persona series. Helps that each characters play a little bit different from one another, though that makes switching characters in mid battle just a bit hard to adjust lol.
And more important, it can be surprisingly tough during boss fights.

it's funny, i played a shit load of the demo -- but then when the final game came out i bounced off pretty quickly. i really should get back to it one day.
edit:
