Touken Ranbu Warriors brings the Touken Danshi to life in a way only possible through musou gameplay, making it a welcome addition to the Touken Ranbu universe.
Touken Ranbu Warriors is too schematic within its Musou core, with tiny levels and excessively easy gameplay. But you can appreciate the story, a lot of diverse characters, a lot of upgrades and a few mini-games.
Overall, I enjoyed my time with Touken Ranbu Warriors. It doesn't fall into the old formula like other Dynasty Warriors-style games. I believe anybody who is a fan of either one of these series will enjoy this game greatly.
While it may not feel like a traditional entry into the Warriors style of spinoff games that most are used to, there is a unique feel to be found in Touken Ranbu Warriors. With an interesting setting that has both characters that are engaging and a unique play on its historical situations, there’s a lot to enjoy for anyone.
Touken Ranbu Warriors mixes the classic one vs. 1,000 hack-and-slash Warriors gameplay with the beautiful boys of the Touken Ranbu franchise. The use of investigations helps break the monotony of the Warriors-style gameplay a bit and the time-traveling element adds a twist to the history-based narrative often used in games set in Japan’s warring states...
