Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
Seriously. Not trying to start a fight with the hardcore DW beu fans (of which I would include myself until a recent burnout), but have you tried this game? If this is copying or a homage to the series it's one of the better I've tried recently.
Cooler fighting? Yes. Better or at least more interesting art in enemies, environments and heroes? Yes. Conquest modes standard? Yes.
Obviously it follows the KOEI pattern but it destroys it in freshness. Plus it has a lot of wacky Jappy in a good way. You're still killing hundreds with one button, but your combat move alternatives are far better than DW. The animations destroy it, with true variety among every hero. The treasures are great, still have horses, etc. The cut scenes with the CG and anime shorts are at least funny and entertaining in a way that DW hasn't been in ages.
I don't get it. I wrote this off based on some reviews and just got my rental today. I honestly wouldn't understand a media writer who gave this lower marks than DW5. It has the same level of challenge, better graphics in many ways because it's use of fog is less obvious without the same amount of jaggies, etc. There are pop in enemies, but usually the announcer is screaming "AMBUSH!" or some other goofy thing to explain it. It's absolutely no worse than DW and frankly a lot better because the combat is more interesting.
Have you guys tried this??? Because I think it sold like crap and I'd take a sequel to this over DW any day of the week at this point.
Devil Kings >>>>>>> DW.
