The fast hack n´slay action combined with strategic moments and the cool character building system are satisfying. But in the end the game is very repetitive and the series seems a bit stuck. But Dynasty Warriors fans will have their fun.

I will try to describe this easily for DW fans: Total LACK of content.There s no strategy, no rpg part nothing and no story change orI will try to describe this easily for DW fans: Total LACK of content.There s no strategy, no rpg part nothing and no story change or different cutscenes..If i'd have to describe the game i would define it as a demo or Alpha version of any other DW title due to lack of everything....imagine like playing only free mode removing battle events and you have what this game looks like.The strategic/rpg part is smoke in the eyes (its surprising how nothing will change in gameplay and since the game lacks cutscenes and story they won t affect it either).Get DW8XL it has ambition mode that alone is way deeper than the Whole DL Empires.

Jesus Christ, the controls in this are awful. I would understand not having a controller that can be used reliably in the menu system if theJesus Christ, the controls in this are awful. I would understand not having a controller that can be used reliably in the menu system if the game bothered to have decent keyboard/mouse support in battles, but it appears this game has the worst of both worlds in their port attempt. Who the heck wants to switch back and forth between controller and keyboard?And no right joystick? Are you kidding me?Yet another massive failure in the Dynasty Warriors franchise.
