Looks less like Dynasty Warriors and more like a decent action/adventure game like god of war, devil may cry, ninja gaiden...that sort. Not a super hoard of enemies to deal with at once, air dashes which signal some hefty action based movement, and specials like his flame shit.
At first I was disgusted that they changes the entire game around...but now I'm thinking this has some promise.
Also, although Shin's character design is kind of gay looking, weilding a big ass flag as a weapon is pretty cool.
