![]() ![]() You start out as being a lowly subordinate, but as you complete raids and other missions, you rise the ranks of being a true leader of a Kingdom. While not really so much of a set story, in Empire Mode you take control of one of the many Commanders in the game (or one you create, more on that later) and try to take over the rest of the Kingdoms in the land. Those looking to experience the story of Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires can do so by advancing in the game’s Empire Mode. Even on the hardest difficulty, the game is never overly challenging, and with enough patience, most people will be able to take on the game’s greatest challenges. There is so much more to the battle system as well, that hasn’t been mentioned yet, and all help provide many hours of gameplay. There are card-like Stratagems that can help sway the battle, whether by healing yourself, giving more defense, or by shooting a series of arrows towards an unwitting opponent. If you are too far away from an enemy station that you want to take over, you can summon a horse to speed your progress and do some different attacks while being atop the trusty steed. That’s not all there is to battles, either. These Commanders are really the only difficult part of the game, though, with careful planning, nothing will stop you. As in, they are powerful enough to actually make you pay attention to what you are doing. Finally, each weapon has an EX attack, which after you fill up a meter, can decimate the foe’s army.Įnemies come in two varieties, “Mooks”, which come at you tens at a time and will take little effort to defeat, and the “Commanders”, who are like yourself. Planning these right against an enemy commander can help sway the battle in your favor. Weapons can have one of three affinities, where one is more powerful than the other. For example, the Shaman Rod can either take out a straight line of enemies, or if you wait a hit or two more, can take out a wide half-circle of foes in a single hit, while paralyzing the few who survive. Additionally, Special Weapons can have different properties on what they do depending on when you break from Light Attacks to the Heavy Attack. Combos are simple, with hitting the Light Attack button a few times before unleashing a Heavy Attack which can wipe out many foes at once. With a simple press of a button, you can switch of one enemy killing tool to the other with ease, and some combinations can even combo into each other, resulting in massive death and destruction. ![]() Fortunately, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires has both of these in full, with literally hundreds of different combinations, with most balancing each other out. Of course, flashy combos and a wealth of weapon choices are key when it comes to making this style of game any fun. Rinse and repeat, over and over again to your heart’s content. ![]() Loosely based off of Chinese novel “ Romance of the Three Kingdoms“, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires has you choose one of over eighty characters and beat your way through a small army of enemies to collect enough bases to win a match. Its also an expansion of the original Dynasty Warriors 8, which came out in the US in 2013 on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. True to Omega Force’s previous releases in the series, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is a hack-and-slash title that puts hundreds of options and moves at the player’s disposal. More than most series, Dynasty Warriors’ worth as a game is greatly defined by what exactly you’re looking for in a game, and if you have the stomach for executing combos hundreds of times in a single bout. A staggering amount of content for an accessible-yet-deep gameĭynasty Warriors has been a series that has been hotly contested as both a “Button Masher” and content-filled experience.
