Is this game good? Not a musou? Or is it one?

It's an action game where you beat up dozens of DQ Monsters as various DQ characters.
If you enjoy that you'll like the game.
You don't even need to know any of the cast.
Also Alena has a Rider Kick.
One game??
One piece, samurai warriors 4-2, dynasty warriors 8 empires, XL?
Off the top of my head of course. All of those recent, and all of them come from a very familiar company.
I'm still pissed about those games, especially since they lied or pretended to not know what type of game they were releasing on PC.

I absolutely love it when people bring up one bad PC version out of the dozens released this year to discount PC gaming. If I were to start listing games with poor performance on consoles I could whip up a fairly long list. How about our latest post apocalyptic WRPG that constantly dips below 20 FPS on both consoles? Come on, mate.

It's single player only.

They swear it's not a musou, but apparently it's the best musou game that's come out in years. I was hoping to get a PS4 soon so I was on media lockdown on it, so... yeah. I heard it's got a lot more RPG elements to it than a typical Musou game.
from what i understood its full on jRPG with musou spin on top of it - check some reviews of ps4 versions

I'm waiting on FFXV, DQXI and KH3.
Not weird at all. There were more games than Arkham Knight released this year.
Plus, AK was better on my PC than on either console.

yep even with its various problems BAK still runs much better on PC than on Xbone (at least from what i played)

Arkham Knight works fine on my lappy but it is 20-30 FPS.
It's still an unacceptable port/effort from WB.

Already have the CE on ps4 but will double dip on this,not perfect but nonetheless very enjoyable
Interested to know this as well. If it's just arena like as Musou with a DQ coat I'll pass. If it's a full fledge JRPG, I'm in.
Imagine something like Hyrule Warriors, but DQ. I think you'll be passing on this game, then.
I can't. Haven't played Hyrule Warriors.
I would read reviews, but I'm at work and only Neogaf works here. From your post, sounds like it's a Musou game then.
i would say its jRPG with musou-like battles instead of usual turn-based

Yeah. It's not a Musou-Musou as Dynasty Warriors. But it's much closer to a Musou than a proper JRPG, that's for sure. Plotwise and in terms of progression, at least.

More Musou-like.
You primarily have an area or NPC you must prevent from being defeated. For that you traverse the map to defeat a unit of enemies and their summoner, at the same time you can leave units to help defend your NPC or area. There's a little management involved, but the combat is Musou-based.
If anything, one of Kiryl's abilities is casting Whack and Thwack
Just don't play the game in long bursts, maybe 30 mins. or 1 hour intervals and you're golden.
I will say that later stages look to be quite difficult if you don't plan your offensive etc. :X

Yeah..
I generally have fun with them for the first two hours or so, then everything starts to get repetitive...
They're pretty back-loaded. There are a lot of boss fights at the end of the game and not so many before that.

for me, It got very boring and tedious. All you're doing, like 80% of the time, is defending something, be it a stationary object or a really stupid A.I. The game really would've benefited from co-op play or if not at least some way to order your A.I. partners around.
It's a CPU from 2009... Don't just look at i7 without looking at the model.

I say this as someone that Platinumed it today. The mission design is atrociously bad, probably the worst I have experienced in a Musou game ever. Extremely grindy sidequests, little to no challenge until the endgame.
Post-game was alright, had a lot better and harder quests, but man does most of the story campaign suck. There's no difficulty selection, so the vast majority is just piss easy. I literally, without exaggeration, fell asleep while playing. I eventually just stopped applying skill points and getting new items just to make the game a bit more engaging. Then that all gets thrown out the window when you figure out Terry's stunlock combo.
It's sad, because it makes a number of good improvements to the formula and it could be way better with the sequel, I just was bored to tears playing it, and I like Musou games.
I think, put next to Hyrule Warriors, DW8, and Warriors Orochi 3, I'd recommend those three games first before I'd recommend DQH.

Good grief, I guess I'll skip this one for now. I like challenge a lot. that stinks.

As someone who's played all these games.. yeah i agree, I do hope we still get DQH2 though with some changes, I'd like to see why theres a need for 4 player co-op (online) added, since with the current setup it'd just be a useless gimick. I'd recommend this at a $30 or less price though.

I also agree. The game bored me to tears, I didn't even finish it. I got to the last bit of the game and then quit, I couldn't muster the willpower to continue.
I was just looking at the store page on Steam, and I'm afraid we're going to have to refund it:
It sounds like it'll be a 1:1 PS4 port.

Totally agree, I saw my brother platinum-ing it and that's also why I didn't myself, just enjoyed it for the story since I bought it/ am a fan of the Dragon Quest universe and moved on.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Oh, don't be like that. I'm sure Tecmo found a way to make it worse than the PS4 version.
They haven't been able to fix any of the other KT games, don't hold your breath.
Pfff. Will stick to the PS4 version. No point buying it again if it doesn't even support my monitors native res of 1440p.
If it's like One Piece, half the graphical options won't even work, too.

I'm ok with it.
Considering it's a Tecmo Koei port, that's much better than what people would expect lol
Yea if it's actually 1080p and 60 FPS with the graphical fidelity of the PS4 version I'd consider that a step up from normal for them.
I thought that was the fidelity of the PS4 version? PS3 assets at 1080p/60fps?
Yeah, people have made me expect much worse than that. 1080p60fps is good enough for me. No resolution lock or framerate cap would be better, obviously, but I'm still on a 60hz 1080p monitor and my current rig was built accordingly. I don't expect I'll be going higher than that anytime soon.
Can't say I disagree. It requires DX11, so I'm speculating it's a PS4 port based on the fact that both Toukiden and Bladestorm are PS4 ports that also require DX11. All other Koei Tecmo games on Steam are DX9 IIRC.
