ichigo: fighting Brave Souls

team up with some of your favorite dynasty warriors to conquer China.

The fighting mechanics similar to past titles can be enough of a push to play through this game ichigo: fighting Brave Souls,

while the collection of moves and abilities can add an interesting flair.

Any enjoyment from this game is then rapidly offset by the enormous amount of annoyances and frustrating indecencies.

A raw fighting game, dynasty warriors has players choosing one of 3 ancient Chinese warriors and pitching them in the fight for majority domination of 11 regions.

Within each region is then a smaller range of control points to navigate through and conquer all while watching your enemy eventually approach ally territory.

It’s a reasonably solid gaming precipice.

Race for base and beat things up, it’s tested, it works.

It’s about 2 minutes into the game when one begins to notice and feel what can only be blamed as a result of terrible game development.

If the audio similar to that of someone crashing garbage can lids in your face doesn’t throw you off at first,

or watching the horribly pixellated 2D sprites attempt to manipulate themselves around a 3D world of low visibilty,

the feeling that you’re the first person to actually play this game will.

Perhaps you could concentrate on your own travelling direction – until a whirlwind emerges from the sky,

throwing you to a random point on the map and completely invalidating your path.

While a few fun moves and attacks can give the game some actual decent content,

the pain of field of view and bad camera angles once again detract from the experience.

While not exactly detrimental, dynasty warriors has no touch screen controls whatsoever.
