This is not "Warriors All-Stars," this is "Koei All-Stars," but that doesn't stop this game from being one of the most random titles that Koei ever released and won't do anything with again.
This game is jam packed with some of the most ADHD ridden fantasies you could ever imagine. It's repetitive, niche, and somewhat boring. If I never mentioned the ADHD part, you wouldn't imagine that it's a grab for suckers like me.
This doesn't mean it's a bad game, it's just not the best Warriors title you could find, but you're not playing for the crossovers, you're playing for the weird things that happens. You're fighting Chinese warriors, Japanese warriors, cute anime monsters, scary anime monsters, furries, dog furries, weirder looking dog furries-- you name it, this game has it, from massage chairs, characters default animating their hands slamming down on a Temco machine, hot springs for all the women you'll see, unless you're a guy like me that swings both ways, you'll see all the men as well.
There's giant bird monsters, yokai, pretty anime boys, pretty anime girls, Ryu Hayabusa from the Ninja Gaiden series, alchemy girls, boobs, abs, edgelord furry man that plays with balls, angsty furry boy with main character syndrome, little furry girl that has the best combos in the game for no reason, milf furry (that is unplayable so that deducts points), there's items, cards, good combos, *bad* combos, some characters make no sense, some characters make perfect sense, some characters are just normal ass people, and most of all there is a barrel of which any character walks up to it all acknowledge its existence by saying "It's a barrel." for no reason at all.
While this game has a lot of problems, it's a product Koei is scared to do again entirely because they thought if it didn't succeed once, it won't happen again. I like the game not because of the roster, but because of the weirdest things that happens. Despite being a game from 2017, it still runs very well despite all the clutter on the screen. I do believe that while this game isn't the best, it was optimized perfectly for low end PC use. I adore this game not because of the idea, but because it exists.
Do not buy this product until it goes on sale because it is not worth $60 and Koei will never lower the price ever in their lives to make it match the price it should be, but wait until it goes on sale for the low price of $10. This game is good if you have a easily entertained and jiggling key mind like me, not every Warriors title fan will love this game, but any freak like me will appreciate this game.
