Video by Matt S. Persona 5 Strikers is right around the corner now, and we’ve had the opportunity to get hands-on with the game. It. Is. Amazing. Right off the bat the game is the most brilliant mix of both Warriors and Persona and shows just how far Koei is…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Is there any game more exciting on the horizon than Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity? I didn’t think so. Nintendo has been dropping trailers regularly in the lead up to its release on November 20 (just one month away!), and this newest one looks like good…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Once again it sucks to be Australian since, by the time we actually cover this news, most everyone has seen it, but overnight (for us) Nintendo announced a major new game: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Related reading: Read our review of the original Hyrule Warriors…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of the best things that Koei Tecmo has going for it is how adaptable its Warriors (Musou) formula is. Whether it’s medieval history (Samurai Warriors), ancient history (Dynasty Warriors), or any of a wide and growing range of anime and licensed game properties (Gundam, Arslan,…

Read MoreList by Matt S. As anyone who knows me knows, I am a massive fan of Koei Tecmo’s Warriors (or Musou, as it’s known in Japan) franchise. Where other people see “button masher” or whatever, I see action games that do a great job of taking real history (or a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. “Warriors Orochi 4 is so mindless and repetitive and yadda yadda yadda.” These reviews write themselves. They’re wrong, but it’s almost a standard approach to take with this series, and Warriors Orochi 4 is almost certainly going to be the latest victim of that. But in…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Warriors Orochi 4 is looking better and better the more we see of it. Koei Tecmo’s mashup of the Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors franchises now has a bunch of Greek deities in it too for some reason, and while that might not make any sense,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. For the third time I’ve found myself playing through the same narrative and levels that make up Hyrule Warriors – I’ve already played the Wii U and 3DS versions to death. The game’s a very fine one, but I very rarely play games three times through.…
