Combat

The combat system isn't just mindless "Square-Square-Triangle" button-mashing anymore, there are now responsive parry and perfect dodge mechanics.

130 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The massive enemy count is a major highlight of DWO, creating an incredible war atmosphere especially when combined with the cinematic troop tactics mechanics.

Difficulty
