Ahead of launch on January 16th Dynasty Warriors OriginsKoei Tecmo launches upcoming trial version Unparalleled On Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. extremely prolific Dynasty Warriors Since 2013, the series has entered a somewhat experimental phase Dynasty Warriors 8as Dynasty Warriors 9 Embraces a split open world structure Apparently not well received by fans. So for those of you who have been burned by this series before, this demo Dynasty Warriors Origins It’s a great way to see if you’ll like what the developers of Omega Force are doing this time around.
From this demonstration, Dynasty Warriors Origins There seems to be an emphasis on diverse combos and perfectly timed dodges and blocks alongside the massive battlefields the series is known for. If this sounds like your cup of tea, here’s what you can expect from this newly released gameplay clip.
How long will the Dynasty Warriors: Origins demo take?
About an hour.
All in all, the demo is relatively short. After some brief cutscenes and some battle preparation, the demo will take place entirely within the “Battle of Surabaya Gate” mission. Running all briefing content at one time should not take more than one hourbut this may extend even longer, for reasons we’ll get to later.
That is to say, The demo does have some replay value. You can equip your protagonist with different weapons and special moves before entering combat, so die-hard fans might get something out of trying out different play styles before the game launches.
Will the demo carry over to the full game?
No.
This demo is a standalone experience and there is no prompt to save as it consists of a single mission. The demo also includes a disclaimer stating that “certain scenes and elements may differ from the final game.” In other words, the way events unfold in the demo may not truly reflect the full game.
If you’ve never played Dynasty Warriors before, can you enjoy the Dynasty Warriors Origins demo?
kind of.
For those who have no way If you’ve played Musou before, you might be overwhelmed by the amount of information this demo throws at you. But the game isn’t unintelligible, especially if you stick to the default settings and follow the on-screen warnings and tutorials as you play. But if you have never played warrior Having played the game before, you may find Salda spin off Hyrule Warriors for a better introduction to the series.
If this yes your first warrior As a rule of thumb, I recommend starting on the easier Historian difficulty and then trying the demo on a higher difficulty once you’ve mastered the core game mechanics.
While the demo will take you through all the mechanics and systems you need to know, we do need to talk at the end of the demo. While this isn’t a huge plot twist or anything, consider this a spoiler warning if you want to experience this moment for yourself.
Okay, is Lu Bu really fighting?
Indeed.
Lu Bu is the final boss in the demo, and you need to approach him like a boss in a Souls-like game. He can easily drain your health in two attacks, while Lu Bu will have the rest of your army ground to powder just by brushing their shoulders. He is so difficult
That said, there are no secret rewards or hidden cutscenes for defeating Lu Bu. You can see the time you fought him on the results screen, but that’s about it. so If you saw this point in the demo and decided you didn’t want to deal with him, you didn’t miss anything. The only reason to defeat Lu Bu is your own satisfaction.
How to defeat Lu Bu
Given that this is Dynasty WarriorsPerhaps some strategies from Lu Bu fans will no doubt be unearthed in due course. Beyond that, your only real recourse is to learn Lu Bu’s attack patterns and time your dodge just right so you can pull off the perfect dodge. By default, your protagonist will wield a sword, making perfect dodges much easier to pull off, which should help you learn Lu Bu’s attacks. Otherwise, here is my advice to you.
- After you clear the large army on the northwest side of the map, the boss battle begins. The better your condition before this battle, the better your record will be against Lu Bu. Before you challenge the powerful forces mentioned above, Spend some time clearing enemy bases around the map so you can break canisters and replenish your Meatbag inventory. Ideally, keep the jars in the two bases closest to the northwest side of the map.
- Try to have a fierce battle with Lu Bu outside the door. Your allies may be wiped out in a single attack, but they can at least distract you while you get some hits. If you retreat immediately, your allies will most likely die before doing you any good.
- when (or, optimistically, if) Your nearby allies are wiped out and you find yourself low on health, retreating to one of the nearby bases. You can get some emergency healing, and if you have command of the base, you’ll also get some new troops to help you.
- be patient! You may not be able to clear this fight on the first or second trybut as long as you prioritize dodging and hitting when you have a clear opening, you can weaken Lu Bu’s health. It is a hard battle, but the glory of victory is worth the struggle.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins It will be released on January 17, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Windows.
