"The hack-and-slash Warriors spin-offs on Nintendo Switch have been easy to skip. The arcade action can be fun and the character interactions rewarding for fans of the given franchise, but for the most part they've done little to break out of the fan service bubble. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment might be different. Early reviews suggest the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom spin-off isn't just a must-play for hardcore fans but a decent action game that new Switch 2 owners should be paying attention to."
"Out November 6 as an exclusive for Nintendo's new hardware, the Koei Tecmo-developed musou game is the first major next-gen-only release the Switch 2 has seen since Donkey Kong Bananza in July. It's currently sporting a not altogether impressive Metacritic score of 78, which is exactly in line with how the previous games in the subseries, Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, performed."
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a Koei Tecmo-developed musou and a Switch 2 exclusive launching November 6. Early reception is generally positive, noting satisfying arcade action, rewarding character interactions, and a story that enhances Tears of the Kingdom. The game registers a Metacritic score of 78, consistent with prior Hyrule Warriors entries. Praise highlights Star Fox-like missions and more engaging combat than past entries. Criticisms focus on repetitive combat and mission design, particularly repeated late-campaign missions and constrained battlefield sections. The game stands as a notable, varied addition to Switch 2's first-year lineup.
