Weakest in the whole series as a whole imo. The game is just too easy to play and that reduces the replay value. There is a redeeming quality about Chaos mode, but even then you only really have to play defensive and you can survive even without the numerous meat bun drops.

The free direction attacking finally being introduced was a great thing though.
And the music was great also. Some of the new models were good, but lacking in certain characters (Pang De) Speaking of him, he was my favorite person to play out of the new characters. His story is one of the best, probably mainly due to the great VA he has. And his MS is well put together for someone with a bulky model, and heavy weapons.

The musou rage I'm not real fond of, again it makes the game too easy, then you add newer items like the Demon Band and it just goes from there. Others have becocme even more useless like the Musou Armor, heck and even the Tortoise Amulet once you get used to the gameplay.

I still think DW4 is the better game, but this game (5) will always be considered better because of individual musous for some reason.

I was overjoyed when I got the game, thinking of all the characters' unique scenarios and videos I would experience... but I I have the impression that this joy lasts once your selected warriors have grown in level and when you decide to re-play their musou, each stage becomes very easy to finish, the challenge weakens. Gow describes this situation well in his comment.

I don't think it was a bad game though, certainly not. I have many positive and fond impressions about the game. DW5 was most dramatic and touching regarding several characters' scenarios and narration. It also inspired me for stories I have written for DW, so I have a deep respect for this game.
