Ah yes, the kings of hack and slash, Tecmo Koei have done it again. Originally released on the PS3 and XBox 360, Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper has bonus content, new characters, and new game modes. As far as story goes, a Hydra is summoned causing a rip in the space time continuum which calls for some of histories greteast warriors from Achilles to Zhang He to band together and take him out.
Any fan of the series knows how these games work. You're tasked with missions and sidequests as you fight your way through legions of enemies. The first stage alone I had to kill off over 1500 enemies. each character has their own unique fighting style and there are plenty to choose from, so you are sure to find someone to fit your play style (I prefer Xing Cai for her auto parry ability) to ensure you're able to take on the swarms of enemies. Completing missions also unlocks cards that you can use in Duel Mode to battle against friends, locally, or strangers over the Nintendo Network. There's also a level editor that lets you download and play stages edited by others, as well as edit your own and post them for others to try their luck at.
Content is king in this game. From the huge roster of playable characters, weapons, and outfits, to the multiple game modes and online features, this is easily one of the most underrated games in the Wii U library. No it's not perfect, but this game is definitely one to pick up and a great starter for newcomers to the series. Just, by all means, avoid the Chaos difficulty setting. I give Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper for the Wii U a 8.5 out of 10.
