Unlike Dragon Quest Heroes, which borrowed some features from the Warriors series but ultimately fashioned a sort of party-based tower defense game of its own, Arslan: The Warriors of Legend follows the traditional model in a fairly rigid manner. Short version: performance above 30fps seems a bit variable, and you’ll need a gamepad again.ĭon’t worry, those hundreds of men I just set on fire will only be ‘K.O.-ed’. To read about the more technical aspects of Arslan’s port, head next door to this separate article. These releases tend to be missing at least one aspect important to PC players (be that arbitrary resolution options, a frame-rate above 30, or any sort of proper mouse support), though some have shown incremental improvements since Dynasty Warriors 8: XL came out. While it’s always welcome to receive these games on PC, Tecmo Koei’s technical porting record has been average to poor. It has a somewhat lengthy heritage trail, being most directly based on a recent anime series, which finds its own basis in a series of 1980s fantasy novels ( The Heroic Legend of Arslan) by Yoshiki Tanaka … which in itself is based on a much older Persian saga called Amir Arsalan. Since then, entries from the Samurai Warriors, One Piece Pirate Warriors, and Dynasty Warriors: Empires series have all made it across to this platform.Īrslan: The Warriors of Legend is the latest Musou title to arrive on our digital shores ( read our PC port impressions for more details on this version). Musou titles had made it to the PC before (though often only in Japan), but that release was the first one western PC users had seen in a fair while, and signaled the beginning of a consistent porting policy. When Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends showed up on Steam in May 2014, it was something of a welcome novelty.
