Musou action returns to Nintendo’s Zelda spin offs with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on Nintendo Switch 2, sitting alongside earlier Hyrule Warriors titles and competing with other large scale hack and slash games like Dynasty Warriors. Expect big battlefields, crowds of enemies, and a story led by familiar faces from Hyrule, with the focus on clearing objectives and controlling the flow of a fight rather than careful one on one duels.
Who is this for?
Best suited to players who enjoy fast, flashy combat and the satisfaction of mowing through hundreds of foes while juggling map goals, outposts, and boss encounters. If you liked the previous Hyrule Warriors games for their fan service and bite sized missions, this should land similarly, with Switch 2 performance expected to keep the action smoother when the screen gets busy.
Warriors style battles: large enemy counts and objective driven missions.
Zelda cast focus: play as a mix of new and returning heroes.
