This week's co-op releases are a little bit portable, and a little bit niche. We'll get a reason to dust off our 3DS's as well as mix giant robots - sorry, mobile suits - with the Dynasty Warriors formula. Are you ready?
It's looking more and more like the Dynasty Warriors Gundam series is here to stay. Like the rather prolific and extensive Dynasty Warriors games, Gundam is looking to expand on the lore, and keep going with the improvements until the cows come home. Looking forward, we can expect to see some pretty impressive stuff - and these screenshots give us an early preview.
Is the latest Dynasty Warriors game not doing it for you? Are you sick of ancient Chinese history, but you love slaughtering endless waves of enemies while mashing the "destroy," "destroy harder," and "destroy hardest" buttons? Maybe you need a heaping spoonful of giant robot. Check out this new trailer for Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3. No Yellow Turbans, no Cao Cao, and no horses. Plenty of giant robots, though. Or should I call them mobile suits? Nah, "Giant Robot" sounds better than "Mobile Suit."
Like sands through the hour glass, so are the releases of Dynasty Warriors games. I'm saying there's a lot of them. After the umpteenth retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, someone over at Koei decided the Gundam series had a story convoluted enough to make an acceptable plot for a DW game. So they added giant robots to the mix. Enter Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3. By now you know the drill. If you are new to the DW franchise I'll sum up: Pick one of dozens of characters and fight hundreds, if not thousands of enemies by mashing the attack button. Now with robots. Amazingly, it's not as awesome as it sounds. If you haven't played a DW game in a while it is nice to pick one up every now and then, if only to remind yourself of why you don't own all the DW games. (Confession: I loved DW 3 and 4.)
