Warriors Orochi 3 - free with Xbox Gold Membership (August)

[Storyteller]

We've been neglected fellow Xbox players.. however if you have xbox live Gold membership from tomorrow you will be able to download Warriors Orochi 3 for free.

The story is that Orochi (The Serpent Lord) is seeking a true challenge against the heroes of different times, and therefore combines several time zones in an alternate reality bringing together the likes of Lu Bu and Tadagatsu Honda into his demon world. The ultimate goal is to unite the various split factions in order to defeat the final boss which is Orochi (with some officers joining Orochi of course.)

The key difference in these games is that because the roster is so large, you are able to take three officers into battle rather than one and you can switch between them within moments.

If you haven't played the games here is my review:

The first Warriors' Orochi was a breakthrough, it combined both franchises of Dynasty and Samurai into a single game which felt like it's own franchise. The story was well written, the music was epic and the alternate universe of worked really well. This is a must play.

The second game lost it's way a little, it was a good game but felt too 'samey'. It was very playable but by no means did I put the same amount of hours into the game.

The third was released on the next gen consoles PS4 and Xbox one (still awaiting PC versions..) and built upon the existing rosters.. with the likes of Achilles among them.
