The MoeGamer Top 10 of 2020

2 Comments

It’s New Year’s Eve! In fact, as I type this, it’s New Year’s Day in some places around the world, so if that’s the case, uh, happy new year, and I hope 2021 looks better than the rancid 12 months we’ve all just endured.

As is tradition for video gaming-related websites, it is obligatory for me to declare some sort of “game of the year” before 2020 ends, and as I’m someone who likes to be awkward and do things differently, I am counting “games of 2020” as “games I played and/or covered on MoeGamer in 2020” rather than necessarily “games that released in 2020”. My site, my rules — but hopefully you’ll find some fun things to check out along the way!

Hit the jump and let’s get started then — and note that these are (probably) in no particular order; I’m just noting them down as they come to mind!

Waifu Wednesday: Zhenji

2 Comments

By popular request (all right, one person asked for it) it’s time for another Warriors waifu. This week, we take a look at Zhenji, also known as Zhenshi, Zhen Luo, Zhen Fu, Lady Zhen or “the one with the flute”.

She’s been a fixture in theΒ WarriorsΒ series sinceΒ Dynasty Warriors 3, and also shows up in the variousΒ Warriors OrochiΒ games. In most games, she’s depicted as wielding a flute as her weapon, though inΒ Dynasty Warriors 6Β andΒ 9,Β she swaps the flute for a chain whip — probably a tad more effective in battle, but not nearly as iconic.

She is, by all accounts, a woman of “dazzling beauty”, so let’s take a closer look at who she is and where she came from!

Waifu Wednesday: Nene

4 Comments

I’ve been playing a lot of Warriors Orochi 3 lately, so I feel it’s high time we had another Warriors waifu to celebrate.

This time around it’s the turn of Nene, a character who has had several names over the years. While she’s known as Nene in theΒ Warriors OrochiΒ series, she’s also been known as One (pronounced oh-nay), Nei and, probably most commonly when referring to the real historical figure, Kōdai-in.

Like most of the characters from theΒ WarriorsΒ series, there’s a variety of interesting things to learn about her. So let’s dive in and investigate!

Warriors Orochi 3: One Hundred and Forty-Five Warriors Worth One Hundred and Forty-Five Thousand

2 Comments

One of the interesting things about the Warriors Orochi series is quite how many playable characters each installment has had on the roster. And, of course, this is a number that has only expanded over time.

In fact, the most recent installment at the time of writing,Β Warriors Orochi 4,Β scored itself a fairly meaningless Guinness World Record for “most playable characters in a hack-and-slash video game” thanks to its 170 cast members.Β Warriors Orochi 3Β isn’t far behind, though, with a full 145 peeps to take charge of in the UltimateΒ release of the game.

But when presented with that many playable characters, what exactly do you do with all of them? Are you expected to level them all up? Where do you start? Let’s talk progression!

Warriors Orochi 3: First Steps in a Ruined World

2 Comments

I, if it has not already been made abundantly clear, love the Warriors series as a whole. And I’ve found myself particularly enjoying the Warriors Orochi branch.

Warriors Orochi’sΒ core appeal is that it successfully divorces both theΒ Dynasty WarriorsΒ andΒ Samurai WarriorsΒ casts from their original contexts, allowing them to break free from the stories they’ve been telling since the PlayStation 2 days. Instead, they get the chance to have a bit of fun.

Well, “fun” might not be quite the right word, given thatΒ Warriors Orochi 3Β starts off with all of them (except for three, conveniently) dying horribly. But it’s certainly fun forΒ us.
