Xbox-exclusive sci-fi Musou developed by Koei. Mass gameplay in a space universe, aliens to eliminate in hordes. Unsurprising for genre fans but decent in execution. For Musou fans seeking a sci-fi setting on Xbox.

Collector interest

Koei sci-fi action-RPG exclusive to the Xbox, blending mass combat against hordes of enemies with a space plot, by the Dynasty Warriors team. American version of this Japanese title of notable technical ambition but kept low-key, it remains the most accessible of the two Western editions. Desirability rests on that Xbox-exclusive status from a renowned studio and on the interest of fans of niche Japanese action on the console.
