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.

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

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is the best way to play the game, and is a good fit on the Switch. That said, this one's definitely for newcomers rather than returning players, and the frame rate can still play up in moments where's there's just a bit too much going on.

A wonderful celebration of the Zelda series; Gameplay is satisfying enough; Music is excellent; A lot of content to work through for those willing to grind

Warriors repetition is going to divide players; No new content added for this release; Frame rate still chugs at times

A must have for all Zelda fans!

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

Say what you will about the Warriors series of games, but it provides great mindless hack-and-slash fun when you want it. They might not be as smart and sexy as God of War or Bayonetta , but I've loved almost every entry I've played (barring the sixth numbered one).

Retains the addictively engrossing Warriors gameplay fans have come to love; Faithful representation of Legend of Zelda and Warriors games; Contains all the content from the original versions of Hyrule Warriors; Beautiful graphical upgrade thanks to Switch hardware

Checkpoint system is a bit unfair; Return buyers might find unlocking characters again a little too grind-centered; Framerate problems while in handheld mode

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is classic Musou that in turn creates the Zelda Wars!

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition follows the trend of Wii U games resurfacing on the Nintendo Switch. The new version combines nearly every element of the original Zelda -themed hack-and-slash game Hyrule Warriors and its updated 3DS port Hyrule Warriors Legends , creating a complete package and...

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.

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.
