Critic Reviews for Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Visions of Four Heroes
Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Visions of Four Heroes galvanises the rebirth of a fan favourite franchise that had started to show signs of fatigue. The expansion helps to further expand the story through additional character perspectives while supercharging the hack n' slash gameplay with new features. However, with the DLC costing almost as much as the core game on some platforms, it's a tough sell, only suitable for those die-hard DW heads who simply can't wait for a sequel.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a truly fantastic game, and Visions of Four Heroes offers a solid chunk more of that experience. However, at just under half the price of the base game, it's easy to feel like there should've been a bit more that's actually new.
This story DLC of four "what if" mini campaign arcs provide a decent reason to revisit Dynasty Warriors: Origins if you enjoyed its moment to moment gameplay, though its closed off nature does make the whole experience a bit hollow at its core.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins Visions of Four Heroes is a solid expansion to the great game that was Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
Visions of Four Heroes serves as an excellent addition to the game's "if" storyline, offering players a satisfying sense of wish fulfillment and allowing each hero to claim their own moment of glory. The introduction of the military strategy system expands the scale of combat beyond the main game, delivering exhilarating large-army clashes. That said, its gameplay extensions remain fairly conservative, as the actual combat experience differs little from the original and does not achieve any fundamental evolution.

While Visions of Four Heroes largely offers more of the same Dynasty Warriors: Origins action, it's not exactly a bad thing. The four new stories presented here have lots of exciting battles to play through, and there are some new features such as Strategic Battles and additional weapons to make things feel somewhat fresh.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins – Visions of Four Heroes delivers a surprisingly rich and emotional expansion that reimagines iconic characters through alternate-history storylines. With four robust campaign routes, new weapons, and meaningful combat refinements, this DLC rewards long-time fans while giving returning players plenty of fresh content to explore. Although some design choices feel disconnected from the base game's systems, the narrative depth and gameplay enhancements make this a standout Musou experience for 2026.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins Visions of Four Heroes is a surprisingly well-done DLC pack that not only succeeds on a narrative level but also enhances its core gameplay. The additional routes exploring the would-be heroes are well-executed, if not a little short, and the new weapons and gameplay modes add even more enjoyment to the already addictive Musou combat.
