https://opencritic.com/game/10157/hyrule-warriors-age-of-calamity
new zelda time bros 7.9/10 average so far through 25 reviews Technically higher than all previous releases of the first Hyrule Warriors! If you like Musou games and Zelda games you'll probably love this! If you're only a Zelda fan though maybe play the demo first! IGN - 9/10 Age of Calamity boasts compelling combat, a stack of content and a clever remix of Breath of the Wild's Hyrule. Destructoid - 8.5/10 Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity brings some of the same "Warriors" baggage along with it, but as someone who was always into these Omega Force romps, the juice was worth the squeeze. The story was genuinely enthralling throughout and it serves as a great companion piece for Breath of the Wild, while forging its own identity in many respects. I suspect a lot of the alterations are going to be controversial, but I like that they took some big swings and really went with it. USGamer - 8/10 Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity isn't The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, but it's a great musou game with a lot of content for starved fans of Breath of the Wild. Even if you're a Zelda fan who can take or leave musou games, Age of Calamity is worth taking. However, occasional slowdown and frame drops, especially in handheld mode on the Switch Lite, make it clear the Switch is aging quickly. Gamesradar+ - 8/10 Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is an ace accomplice to Breath of the Wild, providing charming backstories to its colorful cast of characters while carrying forward the spirit of experimental gameplay with impressive results. Game Informer - 7.5/10 The action is tedious, but cutting through swaths of Bokoblins and single-handedly clearing a battlefield is still rewarding Gamespot - 6/10 Age of Calamity improves on the combat and structure of Hyrule Warriors, but saps much of the weight from Breath of the Wild's backstory as it fills in its gaps. --- ...

I'm a Zelda fan and enjoyed Hyrule Warriors for what it was but had my fill of it in the one game, so was only gonna get this if it got really strong reviews or if the writing was good and important for BotW2. Do we know the full roster of this one yet?

Campaign beated. I liked it! Was a fun celebration of BotW and I'd be interested to see if they maybe do some DLC closer to when BotW2 comes out.
At 76% complete, so just gotta get those challenges and quests polished off now. So glad there doesn't seem to be as much to do compared to Hyrule Warriors.

I can see the argument that Hyrule Warriors had too much content, I didn't even really start on the Lorule map lol. But I'd rather have too much content than not enough, personally
I don't know how this game does with that though, maybe it's fine --- Hello again. ... Copied to Clipboard!

JackMan 11/26/20 6:16:01 PM #30: |
I think HW just had too much meaningless content. Like, I never really got much sense of accomplishment for doing them and the missions were all way too long for how many of them you had to do. I just got bored.
This feels like a much more achieveable amount of content, the rewards are more useful and the rare rewards (like costumes) come more frequently, plus it actually does stuff that the main campaign doesn't, like getting to fight multiple high-level enemies in challenge modes or no-hit challenges and stuff. In fairness, HW might have had some of that, I don't remember a lot outside of the story. --- Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet. Salutations, citizens!

Oh and, most importantly, since the costumes are entirely cosmetic, I can dress how I want without worrying about set bonuses and junk.

Keep in mind how much of Hyrule Warriors was originally DLC (around half the roster, a good chunk of story mode,all but one of the treasure maps, and a bunch of other stuff.) I don't know if they'll be adding as much to this one, but if they do it'll end up just as gigantic.

That's a fair point. I think I did have whatever DLC was available at launch that got you the Shadow Link costume? But I know I stopped playing before it all came out.
I'm not sure what DLC they could do for this without pulling stuff from non-BotW games. --- Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet. Salutations, citizens! Jack Man here. https://www.youtube.com/ChuckleFudge ... Copied to Clipboard!

Alright, this was bugging me, so I looked up a guide for the Adventure Mode and a lot of the battles have requirements of getting 1,200 KOs and beating it in under 15 minutes for the A rank, so maybe it was doing that over and over that wore me down?
In comparisson, most of AoC's challenge missions and between 5-10 minutes and don't have ranks, they just give you rupees based on clear time and KOs. And there are only a handful of 'get x number of KO' type missions (mostly the training ones you get after unlocking a new character). --- Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet.

Alright, my early take is that this is excellent in terms of combat, is good in RPG elements and barely feels like a Musou. Like there are elements in there but I haven't had to worry about managing territories even once. You just go places and kill targets.

Why is fusing weapons so goddamn expensiveThe cost is dependent on the sword youre fusing into, so the more powerful and higher level the sword, the more expensive it is. So, the trick is to fuse cheaper swords together first then fuse them into more expensive swords. For example, say your Master Sword costs 200 rupees per sword, to fuse 24 level 1 swords into it would cost 4800 rupees. However fusing 5 of those swords into a level 1 sword only costs, say, 50 rupees each. So thats 250 rupees. Do that 4 times and youve turned your 24 level 1 swords into 4 level whatever swords for 1000 rupees. Then thats another 800 rupees to fuse those swords into your Master Sword. Also, dont fuse high resale weapons, just sell them. And dont bother derusting weapons until end game. The material cost is really high and theyre better spent on quests and cooking. Plus you get upgrades to derusting weapons later on. --- Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet. Salutations, citizens! Jack Man here. https://www.youtube.com/ChuckleFudge ...
