Anyone whose played one of the newer Dynasty Warriors games on Chaos needs no explanation.
For anyone else, imagine fighting over a thousand enemies that were all faster than you, dealt at least as much damage as you, with the same amount of health as you, at the same time, without stop. And every hundred or so a guy that's faster than you, has twice as much health as you, and can kill you in three to four hits comes after you. And then at the end of each level you need to fight a guy with six times as much health as you, who can kill you in two hits maximum, whose also faster than you while his five hundred buddies gather around you.
Oh, and their extremely fast attacks ALWAYS interrupt your attacks, and only your extremely slow attacks interrupt theirs, only on the first and second tier enemies mentioned, when the AI is feeling nice.
Oh, and since they outnumber you three hundred to one, when they dodge they're invincible, but when you dodge you'll just end up surrounded by a different circle of enemies. And if they guard you need to risk a slow, strong attack but if you guard there's really nothing you can do but wait for one of them to use a strong attack.
Oh, and they attack in formation, e.g., ten spearmen will line up in front of you and simultaneously use a charging stab attack, while ten swordsmen will line up on the other side of you and simultaneously use a jumping slash attack.
Oh, and your allies? They die faster than you, and that's hard to manage.
Basically you need to use a super move to escape each encounter with your life, and you only get uses of them from killing enough people, and random drops.
Sure its one of the most enjoyable games in the world, giving you more of a sense of accomplishment than any other game I've played when you win, but it is so #%@#!&* frustrating.
But I also must give these games credit for inventing the genre of games known as 'Like God of War but,' including God of War itself. Sure, God of War injected it with quick time events and changed the theme from slaughtering your human foes to kill a bunch of mythical creatures, but still. Who wants quick time events?
So if you ever want a game that can be super easy on easy mode, but is the biggest challenge you'll ever face on chaos, that's all just slaughtering legions of foes with no quick time events, play a Dynasty Warriors game. Chiefly 6 or 6 Empires, not Strikeforce, I have no idea what they did with that.
