Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate (無双OROCHI2 アルティメット, Musou OROCHI 2 Ultimate) is a third re-release and sequel of Warriors Orochi 3 which continues from the original game's good ending. Akihiro Suzuki returns as the producer and Yōji Noda is the director. The new music in this title was composed by Ayako Toyoda.

The Premium Box for the Warriors Orochi series includes a soundtrack, character stickers, postcards, Halloween costumes, and a serial code for DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Ultimate, which unlocks collaboration costumes for Kamusi, Momiji, and Ayane.

Changes[]

  • Players can now reset characters' levels through permanent stat bonuses, allowing them to be altered to a degree even after reaching maximum level. This is similar to the changes made in the original game, similar to Warriors Orochi 2.
  • All members in a player's team can fight on the field simultaneously by tapping the down button.
  • Each character is given a second personal skill that contributes to the team's overall stats. This skill is unlocked through a character's second promotion.
  • Players can play on opposing sides in certain stages via additional scenarios added to the game.
  • "Triple Rush", a stronger variation of Switch Combos, launches foes into the air for greater combo freedom. It is easier to cancel attacks using this skill. Unique versions are triggered by performing the attack using a specific set of characters, with more than 50 team combinations available.
  • Characters can now use "Midair Type Actions" by pressing R1 while in the air, draining half the amount of Musou and breaking out of airborne flinching, with some being altered versions of their missing aerial Musou Attack.
    • Technique-types have a new ability known as the "Evasion Step": press X while being attacked to perform an evasive sidestep.
    • Speed and Wonder-types can now have their grounded-based cancels work as normal on moves that bring them up into the air; Speed-types will still jump cancel from the ground, while Wonder-types can no longer perform airborne Spirit Charge Cancels through this until very late in an active animation.
  • Two players can activate their teams' Musou to have all six characters attack with a special energy effect. This is called "Shin Musou Burst".
  • Dynasty Warriors 8's version of horse whistling is present. Press up on the directional pad to use it.
  • Characters can now carry four to six items instead of two. The two extra slots are unlocked at level 100. A separate slot is available for saddles. New items are in the game.
  • New five-star weapons and unique "mystic weapons" for the entire cast can be acquired by collecting materials to forge for the former, or completing specific requirements within Story or Free Mode for the latter. New weapon attributes are available. The limit cap for crystals is 999.
  • The maximum K.O. count is now 10,000.
  • A color editor, similar to Samurai Warriors 3, allows customization of characters' appearances, initially available in Gauntlet Mode, but not in other gameplay modes.
  • Downloadable content so far includes costumes and weapons. Save data and DLC from Warriors Orochi 3 can be transferred to Ultimate, with previously purchased DLC available to purchase free upon release.

Modes[]

The modes in the original game and Hyper's Duel Mode return with the following changes.

Story Mode[]

Four new chapters are added to this entry which highlight two major story arcs:

  • The Tale of the Latter Day - Taking place after Hydra's defeat, a new threat emerges in the form of Tamamo whose machinations sow mistrust and discord among the heroes. Has two different endings.
  • The Tale of the Former Day - Set before the events of the first game, it explains Orochi's origins and the crime he committed.

Various new side stories for the playable cast are also included. These stories showcase characters who had few appearances in the main story arc.

Gauntlet Mode[]

Unlimited Mode is a new addition to the game, focusing on a five-man team navigating a multi-leveled dungeon. Players must survive trials and choose between saving or continuing to the next level. Co-op allows players to control two characters, with AI controlling unused members. Players can select a team formation, which can yield special bonuses or techniques. Dragon spots can restore health, provide buffs, or warp the party. Weapons, levels, and experience can be saved for other modes, and the mode contains exclusive items and weapon attributes.

Shin Musou Battlefields[]

A renewal of the Musou Battlefields feature. Warriors now cost nothing to change, and in-battle quotes, and notifications can be customized by players.

Characters[]

The entire cast from Hyper and Xu Shu appear with the following new additions.

New Characters[]

Collaboration Characters[]

Bugs and Glitches[]

  • Himiko is unable to activate the bonus skills of the Dragon's Eye or Heavenly Sash equipable items.
  • In the "Rescue the Heavenly Emperor" stage, using a healing skill on the Heavenly Emperor as he passes through the escape point will result in an automatic defeat for the player.
  • Hideyori Toyotomi uses the "Mystic Officer" set of dialogue for generic officers in Gauntlet Mode, which is most likely a programming error.
  • In Gauntlet Mode, enemies in Odawara Castle can get stuck in a parallel plane between floors, requiring a stair level stand and gradual drop from the plane.
  • In the "Battle of Jieting" stage (chapter 3, recruit Guan Ping), it's possible to defeat Toshiie Maeda in the Central Garrison before Katsuie Shibata reaches it (the gate is still closed), e.g. by Hundun's C4 and C6. When this happens, the event in which Katsuie Shibata talks to Guan Ping will never trigger, thus making the stage unbeatable. The same result can also happen in "Battle of Xuchang" stage by killing Shuten Dōji before opening the gate.
  • In the Changban stage (of which the victory condition is defeating Mitsuhide Akechi and Zhuge Liang), you actually only have to defeat Zhuge Liang to win.
