I love musou games. Kinda sad that Koei has tapered off.

Dynasty, 3-5 are peak in my opinion. 6 was a dip with the Renbu system. 7 & 8 were okay. Then 9 they tried to swerve and it didn't take off or stick.

Samurai, all but the latest were solid. My favorite way to spend time with them growing up was 2 Empires and the slow conquering of the country.

Orochi ones are all pretty good. It only builds so look at the latest additions to see where you start caring. I can't recall if 1 does, but 2 and 3 get into rock paper scissors with the officer types, which didn't hit me as well. Especially with how power type and its ability to armor hits can make some bosses really bullshit. But for pure roster, they come out on top.

All Stars disappointed me. It had potential but mechanically wasn't fun. Way too easy to get in doom spirals with how easily your allies get trounced by level differences and having multiple keep alive objectives.

My favorite musou turned out to be (the first) Hyrule Warriors, though. Fun to play, multiple styles for a lot of characters, and absolutely packed with extra content for a lot of longevity that isn't necessarily just grinding.
