Last year’s Fire Emblem Warriors, in particular, showed me just how much the Warriors series can evolve, with its buttery-smooth controls and mission multitasking being easily rectified with good tactical commands.
Following in the wake of Hyrule Warriors, we’ve had two Dragon Quest Heroes, Berserk: Band of the Hawk, Fire Emblem Warriors, and an all-star Koei Tecmo Warriors game. 2014’s Hyrule Warriors, in my eyes, was the start of the Warriors’ franchise expansion from simply doing their own thing to creating all sorts of collaborations with other properties.
