is a good-quality port of the Wii U game, but outside of much more stable performance and better local co-op it doesn't add enough new content to make replaying the story mode interesting again if you've already tried it.

Definitive Indeed

A superlative Warriors game; Raises the bar in terms of content packed in; All enhancements and DLC from previous versions; An absolute blast to play throughout

No online co-op; Some performance issues docked

Hyrule Warriors was one of a number of gems from the last generation of consoles which sadly lost out on an audience for one key reason - it came out on the Wii U. There was also Hyrule Warriors Legends on the 3DS, which came with more content and characters, but was sadly held back by the...

When Nintendo first unveiled Hyrule Warriors , people didn't exactly know what to expect. The company had seldom handed over the keys to one of its cornerstone franchises before, and the proposed concept was odd, to say the least.

Link and company are back on the scene with the most content-complete version of the well-received title Hyrule Warriors. The Definitive Edition packs an absolute boatload (at least three King of Red Lion's worth) of content that would put most modern titles to shame.

Insane dollar to value ratio; Plenty of varied game modes; Excellent character designs; Runs smooth; Did I say tons of content already

Text/Map size in portable mode; Gameplay not be for everyone; May not be new enough for all

In the year 2014, gamers everywhere were treated to Hyrule Warriors . Link and other legendary heroes battled against the notorious Ganon, whose schemes have thrown the kingdom of Hyrule into chaos. However, even after the villain was sealed away, the battle never actually ended.

Whether you're an avid Zelda fan or casual Warriors player, there's something for you to love here. The Switch is the perfect console for a Musou experience since this game is best enjoyed in short bursts; prolonged spells almost reveal the secret of its magic, leading to a more laborious...

Great fun for brief spells; Combines both licences really well; Surprising depth to the combat as it develops; Co-op right out the box

Will grow tiresome in long sessions; Frame rate dips in hectic sequences; It's still just a Warriors game beneath the Zelda veil

Do you like Zelda Do you like shovel-loads of shameless fan service Then this is the game for you. This game is NOT to be taken seriously as a Zelda title. It's a fun spin off that is jam packed with "woah, cool!" and "I get that reference!" moments, with mindless violence that's easy to play.

If you're a fan of the Warriors series, Dynasty or otherwise, you'll know what the crux of the appeal is: getting an overpowered warrior and running through hundreds of grunts at a time with every attack, racking up a sizeable body count in minutes.

I may have fallen too far into the world of musou. The genre has been the primary production of Koei Tecmo's Omega Force for many years now, but I didn't jump in until relatively recently with 2016's Arslan: The Warriors of Legend .
