This was actually my first Dynasty Warriors game. And what a tour de force! Hardcore, aggressive rock beats and frantic fighting against hordes and hordes of enemies. While a bit on the easy side at lower difficulties, it's clearly meant to be played gradually, building up your difficulty level as you level-up the various characters in the game. It can become quite satisfying when you're playing at the more insane difficulties after grinding your characters up to insane levels of power. Absolutely an amazing little beat-em-up with clear inspirations from games like Final Fight, Knights of the Round or Warriors of Fate.
