Mowing down hordes by the thousand takes on outsized scale when three epics interweave into one, with time travel reshuffling the story. Recruiting the vast cast of heroes, optimizing weapons and chasing full clears across dozens of stages feeds a hungry grind, and this musou stays a favorite among fans of strategic catharsis.
