Unfortunately, a few of the annoyances from the first DW PSP game have also carried over. The camera angle and positioning of your warrior makes it difficult to see opponents who are not directly in front of you, forcing you to rely on the mini area map to avoid opponents sneaking up to get in a few cheap, game-ending hits.
Winning every battle also does not guarantee your domination of the entire region. Go your own way on the larger map or help the wrong ally and your opponents may simply pick an alternate route of destruction or your timed supplies may unexpectedly run out.
