DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS Steam Charts & Stats

In my opinion this game is the best Dynasty Warriors game the company ever created. I'm really enjoy playing it worth to buy it if you are one of Dynasty Warriors fan :)

Man, I can't tell you how much I loved this. Been playing dynasty warriors since I was young. The game always seemed lacking and bland? This game gave it what it was missing, The graphic was lovely, The battle felt great with the yelling and screaming while the music in the background. Is the game worth it? Yes it is, And yet so far it's the best dynasty warriors game ever from all the ones I have played. Been playing for hours and man I can tell you how I am inlove with this all over again. I am so glad to check out dynasty warriors just so I could find this game. If you ever played the old dynasty warriors series and can't tell if this one would be good or not, IT IS GOOD I PROMISE YOU.

This game is a jumping stone to DW10, and its freaking fantastic

I was a big fan since Dynasty Warriors 2 and started getting tired of it after Dynasty Warriors 5. I'm giving it a huge Thumbs Up for this new direction for the series with more story driven RPG-esque progression. The reason I can't keep playing it is... I go in and kill things and it really is just killing the the leader and rinse and repeat... This is going to be great for anyone he has never played a DW game, but for me who has played the older ones, its still the same thing combat wise, which is repetitive.

8/10 What would make this game perfect is getting rid of the Hero character. While the story is not bad, it does feel forced and out of place of traditional DW games. The game play is fantastic

Wait for sale, it's alright, but more soul's like, you need to parry ,block, and evade to be able to survive, no more just hack and slash your way thru like the good old games. I'd say for under $25 buy. Does run perfect on the steam deck fyi.

Missing half of the plot, which you may never get... Game ends at the Battle of Chibi and developer is NOT going to release the rest of the story as DLC. They "may" make a sequel Origin 2 if the game sales well... it feels that 90$ of only half of the original goodness... what a ripoff

gameplay is pretty good, but no character customization and no coop is unjustifiable

DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS boldly reinvents a classic formula that has powered countless hack-and-slash battles for nearly two decades. Instead of juggling a massive roster of iconic generals, the game puts you in control of a single amnesiac warrior navigating the brutal chaos of the Three Kingdoms era. This tighter narrative focus brings fresh emotional weight to the battlefield, delivering a surprisingly personal war story. The signature “one-versus-a-thousand” action is back and better than ever. The combat system strikes a fine balance between accessibility and depth — smooth combos, parries, and stamina management make every encounter tense and skillful. The addition of a bravery meter and special Arts keeps fights dynamic and visually spectacular. Plus, commanding your troops and triggering strategic maneuvers adds an exciting tactical layer that enriches the battlefield chaos. Rather than a straightforward stage-by-stage campaign, Origins features an overworld map where you explore, pick your battles, build alliances, and recruit companions. Midway through, you choose sides among the legendary kingdoms—Shu, Wei, or Wu—which dramatically shifts your story and gameplay experience. This approach adds real replay value, inviting you to discover different perspectives and endings. Graphically, the game shines with highly detailed character models, sweeping battlefields, and atmospheric lighting effects. The orchestral soundtrack pumps up the epic feel without ever overwhelming the action. Technical performance is solid, even during the most chaotic encounters, ensuring a smooth ride throughout. Some Rough Edges: -The game’s pacing can feel uneven, especially during early exploration segments that sometimes drag. -Some longtime fans may miss the massive roster and co-op multiplayer modes, as Origins focuses on a singular hero journey. -The Wanderer protagonist is deliberately a blank slate, which may feel distant or underdeveloped compared to past character-driven stories. DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS reinvigorates the franchise with smart design choices, deeper combat, and a compelling narrative twist. While it may not satisfy those craving an all-out roster blitz or multiplayer mayhem, it offers a satisfying, skill-driven single-player experience set in one of history’s most legendary conflicts. For fans of action games who want both spectacle and substance, Origins is a must-play that proves the Dynasty Warriors spirit is alive and well. Rating: 9/10

This is one of the coolest games I've ever played. I've been a fan of Dynasty Warriors since my younger days of playing DW5, and I'd yet to find a new game in the series that sparked the same kind of joy, until I found this one. The gameplay is awesome, the presentation is stunning, and the world feels alive in a way that the Warriors series had never captured before. I was ready to call this my game of the year, ready to say that it was hands-down the best Warriors game in twenty years. But half the game is missing. I played through Cao Cao's story, which I expected to be the Wei story. But no, the game just straight up ends after the Battle of Chibi. There's no Battle of Hefei. There's no Battle of Yiling. There's no Wuzhang Plains. There's no Jin. There's no Chengdu, like, seriously, the part of China with Chengdu in it is just not there. There is so much setup for no reason at all. Wu is barely a factor in the story. Liu Bei never has his crashout. We don't get to see Zhuge Liang's northern campaign on a grand scale like never before. None of it is there. Dynasty Warriors is a series about the Three Kingdoms era, based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And this game does not contain the Three Kingdoms. That's why, in spite of everything I love about this game, I can't possibly recommend this game to a Dynasty Warriors fan without the world's biggest asterisk. Looks like I'll be waiting another twenty years.
