![]() This is not a game you play for long periods without taking extended breaks, and the charm does wear off. But, over time you may find yourself getting bored and hoping for more variety, just like every game in the series. ![]() As repetitive as this sounds, (and it is) the overall fantasy of this universe will hook you for a while as you claim victory in countless battles and try out new characters. This can lead to a long stretch of watching your character run (or ride a horse) through empty fields, abandoned villages, and dark castles. Some of these battles can drag on and occasionally you can find yourself running towards a battle that is way across the map. Your main focus here is to build up your combos and unleash hell on your opponents to win each of the battles you are thrown into. There isn’t really much strategy involved, outside taking a path to the goal that brings less of a chance of death. With each new game in the series, there’s very little changes from the core gameplay of explore, kill, rinse and repeat and it’s the same deal with DW8. ![]() Each warrior has a storyline to follow (that eventually all intertwine the longer you play) and each has a unique arsenal of special moves and combos to lay waist to your foes. This chapter gives you 82 total character to play as, as you progress through the heavily anime-inspired story, where you are one warrior against hundreds of enemies at the same time. Over the different games, more and more characters from the Wei, Wu and Han Clans as they battle each other for dominance of the Chinese territories. If you never played a Dynasty Warriors game before, basically what you have here is a button mashing fest of madness loosely based on the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” Chinese novels. ![]() Now The 8th installment hits the PlayStation 4 (in Complete Edition form) and for its debut on such a powerhouse console, the presentation is rather lackluster. Very little has changed from DW 7, with the core gameplay containing the same amount of mindless button mashing you have seen before. Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is no exception. I have played many Dynasty Warriors games over the years, and if there is one constant in every new version, it is that very little is changed from the last one.
