WARRIORS ALL-STARS
A battle of heroes where everyone is the lead! The very first all-star title of Koei Tecmo! The rousing action essential to "Warriors" series is powered up with new elements, such as open scenarios and multiple endings! Impressive assembly of 30 characters backed up by the original voice actors, and action that combines both familiar traits of the original series and new exiting elements like “Musou Rush”. Furthermore, each character and their progression are drawn vividly, through special strengths and effects, known as “Hero Skills,” and the ways story and interactions change based on the battles they fight. Enjoy the epic story of collaboration of heroes that brakes the borders of diverse range of worlds! The gameplay is modeled after the hack-and-slash Warriors series, in which the player controls a single character to defeat enemies throughout a stage while trying to achieve a specific goal. In Warriors All-Stars.

I'm seeing a lot of hate for this game.
I feel like some of it is justified, but some is a bit unfair.
This game is fairly simplified to the point you can think it's a baby's first Koei Warriors game.
As some one who played from Dynasty warriors 4, I can assure you it's let complex and less polished.
If it none the less some brainless fun.
I see a number of people moaning about running around the map with no mount option.
As someone who played a lot of Warriors games, I want to make it clear, the running speed in this game is crazy, it's just about as fast as some of the fastest mount options in other games. If you don't believe me, boot one up and test it.
In terms of how repetitive this game is, dogs go woof, cats go meow, Koei Warriors games have tedious and repetitive quests across maps. If you want something innovative, DO NOT buy this game.
If you are down for some brainless action, it's a fun little game.
Now, on to the fun part, similar to the running speed, characters have unreasonably LARGE AOE moves, this makes getting to 1000 KO extra easy. If you haven't touched a Warriors game or haven't played one in a very long time, it's not a bad place to start.
I'd give it a 7 out of 10 due to the tedious quests. All in all, in terms of warriors game, it's not the best, but not the worst either.
Last point to add, I do not recommend this game at full price, but on a discount, it's not bad at all.

All-Stars is a fun Warriors alternative loaded with all kinds of great Koei Tecmo characters, but the big problem is the size of the maps you're expected to fight on. While the levels are creative they are often times too big for the timed based objectives and you will be running marathons to make it to your destination in time.

Lu Bu is teleported to a FurFest convention. Along the way, he meets a talking, jingoistic cat, an Irish weeb with the ability to have English voice-acting in a game exclusively voiced by Japanese VAs, easily forgettable characters from Japanese-exclusive games and female, scantily clad girls with questionably young ages. He and his newfound friends have to commit mass genocide against furries in order to save the world from complete darkness and destruction.
If you think I'm making this up, you'd be surprised.
I stole this review because it was funny.

Nice bit of mindless musou fun. Decent value on sale, wouldn't get it full price though.
It's a crossover game with a wide variety of characters so odds are you'll see someone you at least recognize and get some amusement from seeing their interactions with the likes of Lu Bu and a talking cat version of Nobunaga Oda. Also, a lot of nostalgic music and references to Koei Tecmo games. Kinda cool.
- I found the difficulty oddly balanced for the first half of the game. I had to toggle between normal and hard because the enemies were level 1 for a lot of missions. Difficulty seems to be mostly a level-based thing (you go to the harder difficulties when you've leveled up enough), so it would've been nice to be able to select the difficulty on the mission preparation screen instead of having to fiddle around in the options menu.
- The missions only started to get interesting in the second half of the game. Without spoiling too much there is basically the first half which consists of the three different routes which converge at a certain point, unlocking all the characters for you to use. This is when the game really opens up and you can fully experiment with different character combinations. Unfortunately it takes a bit too long to get to this point. Wish there was also a bit more endgame challenge, maybe an endless mode like in other Warriors games where you ascend/descend some kind of tower/dungeon with increasingly tough enemies or maybe some post game missions.
- Pursuing all the endings to get all the unlocks seems like it will be a tedious affair, as you have to start over from the very beginning and play through missions over and over again. A quick start option that allows you to start the newgame+ at later major points in the story would've been much appreciated.
Overall the game feels oddly unfinished, or like they were going to add a lot more but decided not to. The most glaring issue is that there is only Story Mode. There's no Free Mode. There's no way to replay any of the story missions without restarting the story mode. The map is huge, but it's 90% generic side quest nodes. There is also a character that seems heavily hinted at being unlockable but you never end up recruiting them.
The whole game just feels underutilized or perhaps it's just my wistful thinking wanting more of this game because I actually ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would.
I liked the setting, the wide variety of battlefields, and the visual style which is bright, vibrant and appealing. Also it's just funny to go to the main camp and see Lu Bu playing cards with Marie Rose at the tavern. Fingers crossed for a Warriors All Stars 2 (or a Warriors Allstars Xtreme Legends, or a Warriors Allstars Empires even, that would be cool).

This title brings together a fantastic lineup of characters from the Koei Tecmo universe, allowing you to pick from a diverse cast, each with their own special abilities. The fast-paced gameplay keeps things exciting, and the vibrant graphics make every battle visually stunning.
What’s really awesome about Warriors All-Stars is the variety of modes it offers. The catchy soundtrack adds to the thrill of the action, making every fight even more exhilarating. If you’re on the lookout for a game that’s full of fun, memorable characters, and nonstop excitement, Warriors All-Stars is definitely one to try!

If you like any Koei game you've played in the past, you'll like this. They are all 90% the same game since the PS2 days. That said, I love em!!
