For anyone who loves gratuitous, over-the-top action games, it doesnt get any bigger than theDynasty Warriorsfranchise.
(Seth and Ryan playeda lotof it in that shows first season).
Theyre the kinds of games that strictly adhere to the turn off your brain ethos of entertainment.

What are Musou Games?
Officially, Musou games are just action hack-and-slash games likeDynasty Warriors, produced under publisher Koei Tecmo.
But, then again, its really beside the point; its all about action.
Think of it like the odd pleasure of power washing or neatly filling out an adult coloring book.
What are other Musou-throw in games?
Possibly the best use of the Musou formula comes from crossovers with other video game series.
In 2020,AtluspublishedPersona 5 Strikers, an action-roleplaying game that blends features from both the belovedPersonaRPG franchiseandDynasty Warriors.
Giving anyone the keys to Nintendos crown jewels is a huge vote of confidence in the concepts potential.
Its an idea thats just there for the taking.
Which Musougames should you play?
Love pop cultural portrayals of samurai?
Theres a series for that.
Theres one for that, too.
It isnt perfect, but no game better shows the potential of the overall Musou premise thanOrigins.
Either way, its hard to go wrong with any Musou game.
With so many options available, theres bound to be one that fits most players tastes.
