Repetitive it may be, but one with you can't deny, Dynasty Warriors is empowering. With generals capable of taking on literally thousands of warriors by themselves, it is the closest thing gamers have to enacting the battles of Troy in the Iliad, when the gods literally came down to Earth to fight alongside the Greeks.

Unfortunately, no matter how much you devastate the enemy, a few minutes of inactivity on your part is all it takes for all your allies to be wiped out but the few remaining opposing generals.

Allied generals in the Dynasty Warriors games are consistently useless – only occasionally doing some damage provided you are fighting alongside them. Dare to leave them and assist someone else, they are soon calling for help again.

If you want to challenge yourself to keeping your generals alive in Dynasty Warriors, it's like playing baby sitter for 10 children calling your name all at once – only instead of a house to run around, you have an entire battlefield.
