There is a free mode after story mode but you are just replaying the story mode senarios.. A Koei Tecmo game with:Online Coop60 FPSbetter graphics than the ps4 version4K SupportIs this real life?. First a short summary on what to expect of the new game by Omega Force the studio that brought you the Dynasty Warriors series. if your a fan of "Musou" titles then I'm afraid to say this game is a bit far from other Dynasty titles.though I say that it doesn't necessarily mean anything bad. It just means that the game tried to do something new with Arslan. if your expecting a lot of things to grind for like costumes, side stories or such, afraid to say Arslan does not have much to grind for. but what it does have is a good combo system that takes after the years of experience that the studio Omega Force has cultivated. one thing new to the game is the "Charge Shift" system that makes you feel like one of them bad\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665commanders in one of them [insert feudal era movie here].Honestly it was fun ramming into hordes of pitiful enemies who falls to their deaths when charged by hundreds no thousands of calvary and infantry men in the game. it was a short but fun experience.Gameplay:The gameplay is a modified "Dynasty Warriors" game, the characters are all OP as usual but even more so with this title. the grind you may expect from a dynasty game isn't there anymore at least not as much. but that makes it even more or less easier for new players who are fans of the anime who haven't tried dynasty titles to transition in and maybe adjust to the title?I honestly like how each character has his\/her own skill sets that doesn't look recycled or modified. though it may have reduced the amount of combos you could do but it is expected of something that is new to the series as Arslan is.Graphics:I'm an anime fan so I'm going to be biased here and say I love how they manage to make a balance between anime and pastel art.Sounds and Voices:Japanese voices what else do you want? English subs? they got 'em too :DOverall:I will recommend the game for people who are fans of the anime or looking for an alternative to Dynasty Warriors.. Got the game on sale, not sure it's worth its full price, but for the sale, it's damn good.- Strong quality port, - Has 4k support- Solid 60 FPS - A pretty decent online coopQuite impressed with Koei Tecmo for this one.PS: I would probably recommend a controller for this game, but I'm sure it can be played without one as well.. Gameplay and graphics were great but I finished the campaign in 14 hours and the MAJORITY of that was watching cutscenes. Fun game, good co-op, but there's not nearly enough content for the price. Wait for a sale and\/or DLC.PS: There absolutely IS local splitscreen\/couch Co-op, ignore the other review(s) that say(s) otherwise. I think you may have to do the first mission or two before you can access it, but from then on second player just has to hit start.. There isn't much to say except that if you like the "Warriors"\/musou game series, this would be a great addition to your library. Although I should say this, you must be a fan of the series or else you won't get the full experience out of it, you might as well be playing dynasty warriors.The gameplay is very similar to the dynasty series, borderline copy and paste almost...But with some variation to make it not such a direct copy. You find cards on the battlefield after defeating certain enemies, completing objectives, or finishing a level. These cards give you passive buffs such as increased power, defense, musou\/special gauge attributes, increased health, etc...In order of increasing rarity you have C, B, A, (possibly S as well, I will change this once if I find one). As you go up in rarity you get more passives per card. There is a mini card crafting menu that lets you combine (10) cards to create a new one.What I did enjoy though is the mount combat, I haven't played a dynasty game where you kind of want to fight on your horse. You can actually pull of combos, which I find is a very nice touch.Weapons, you can carry two at a time and can swtich between them in combat. The weapons work in such a way that as you keep using your selected weapon and defeat enemies it will get stronger by recieveing elemental effects and increased combos. And you can get different weapons which have different elemental properties, there are 4 in total.The story mode follows the current season 1 anime very closely, so if you haven't finished watching then I would suggest to avoid this game if you don't want any spoilers. Progression through the story is seamless it goes: Battle -> story cutscene -> battle -> story cutscene -> battle and repeat. There is no pause in between to equip cards or weapons, it is all done in the menu during the battle phase. The game is quite linear. You are free to move around and kill enemies, but eventually you have to complete a certain objective to advance. The stages are broken up in segments, so continuing with my explanation, you have to do\/complete certain objective to advance to the next segment. You cannot proceed if you don't complete it.Then of course you have all the different characters you can play, each having their own skillset and weapon of choice.I should also mention that there is online-coop, I personally haven't tried it yet, maybe a bit down the road. But it is there for those that want to jump into online play right away.Graphics, I feel are very nice, the whole anime-style drawing of characters with the 3D-ish backgrounds. You have many graphic options in the menu that you can mess around, which I feel is very nice for those that do like to change their graphical settings. I'm not so great with the terminology with these settings, I just set it to whatever they give me, but I will say the visuals are very pleasing to my eye.From a hours:money stand point. I feel it is a bit overpriced, you're pretty much paying for the anime name, which I don't see it being justifiable of a 60$ USD price tag, this feels more like a 30-40$ game. So you must like the anime and the gameplay to almost justify this purchase.Overall this is great game, a solid "warriors" type of game. And one last time, I can't stress this enough though, you must like the anime in order to get the full enjoyment out of this game, else the game will be mediocre to you. I hope this review helps you decide in purchasing this game or not.*edit* 2\/18\/2016: So after putting some hours into the game, I would like to change my opinion a little bit about needing to like the anime before purchasing this game. The gameplay is actually really fun. After spending some time and unlocking new weapon combos, they look and feel really cool. The combos feel really unique and fit the characters really well, which I really enjoyed. With that said, I feel that if you do like Musou kind of games, you can definitely enjoy this game without having to watch the anime. As for price I still stand by my review in that it is a bit overpriced. BUT if you do have some extra cash to spare, then by all means purchase this game, it is worth it.. Played Dynasty Warriors since 16 years ago. Picked this up on a hunch, day one. Very solid game and it is indicative of the direction that Japanese game makers are going. Keep this trend up (60 fps, online coop, polished quality product). I have never heard of the Arslan series until yesterday, but it matters not. The story is there for fans of the series, but the gameplay is where the meat is for this title. I appreciate that greatly, and it is nice to see that KT has not dropped the ball on this one. The new gameplay elements separate this from DW, and that is a great thing! If you like the DW, SW, or any other KT title, this game is fit nicely into your Steam collection. Thanks, gents!
