![]() ![]() ![]() #DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 PC PS4 GRAPHICS FULL# All Dynasty Warriors games (and there are over a dozen if you count all of the spinoffs franchises) revolve around the incredibly complex events of the Three Kingdoms-era in Chinese history, in which the Wei, Wu, and Shu states were fighting for control of China after the fall of the Han Dynasty.Īt least that is what I think happened then, because to be completely honest, I get absolutely lost when it comes to Chinese history. Amidst all of the mono-syllabic names – names like Lu Bu, Wei Yan, Zhu Ran – and all the changes in leadership, make it nearly impossible to make heads or tails of the events that took place over a period of about 120 years’ time. ![]() However, I am sure many gamers out there do have a good handle on the history, even if it really doesn’t mean a hill of beans in terms of Dynasty Warriors’ gameplay – other than to give the unyielding button mashing an overall sense of purpose. And believe me, button mashing IS the name of the game when it comes to a Dynasty Warriors game.ĭynasty Warriors games are set up rather like a fighting games, in which gamers select a character from a lengthy roster (82 in this game), and then proceed to battle against wave upon wave of enemy combatants – literally killing hundreds of enemies in the process – in an attempt to take control of a particular area. As each character’s storyline is completed, gamers go back to the main menu, select another character and repeat the process. In one gaming session, a gamer might represent one state, and in the next another – fighting against the very same folks who were previously allies. Luckily, there is little question or concern when it comes to destroying the masses of enemies – it is all about hacking and slashing the hordes of attackers, and any ally that gets in the way is safe from “friendly fire” as it were. Here’s the basic Dynasty Warriors formula:Ĭhop, chop, chop, chop, chop…wait for the special Musou meter to fill, and then “Kablaam!” every enemy onscreen is burned up, or frozen stiff, or broken into pieces (or whatever the character’s special attack is). Hop on a horse, follow the arrow to the next battle, and repeat the process. There is a time constraint based on enemies’ progress and retreat – and there is a very real possibility that after 20-30 minutes of hacking, that a mission is ended prematurely because the enemies succeeded in their mission, often a mission you had no control over, forcing an aggravating restart.ĭynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition does nothing to change the formula – it is every bit the same game, same storyline, that Koei and Omega Force have been delivering for the past decade. There are a couple of additional gameplay modes available – a mission-based Challenge mode, and the build-a-society Ambition mode – neither of which is exciting or different enough to differentiate them much from the core game. The only really noticeable addition is the inclusion of the Lu Bu storyline, who proves to be quite the ass-kicker. Visually, the Vita and PS4 versions of Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition are virtually undistinguishable from each other – falling somewhere in the middle of the two. #DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 PC PS4 GRAPHICS FULL#. ![]()
