It's hard to make a game that successfully melds genuine strategy and fast action together. There's always the risk that the strategy could be too simple, or the action would either overpower the strategy, rendering it redundant, or become irrelevant itself because the strategy side of things determines success or failure. Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires strikes that balance where both on-field performance and strategy equally determine success, and while it's a different flavour to the typical Warriors formula, it's wonderfully entertaining, and anyone who says the Warriors games "never change" should be sat in front of this until they learn otherwise.
This new Empire entry in the franchise enhances even more the possibilities of its predecessor, with new customization options. Unfortunately, there's room for graphics improvement and we miss spanish subtitles.

A good mix of strategy and and buttton mashing. I wouldve like to see more emphasis on the strategy element but this is a Dynasty Warriors game after all. This still might be my favorite game of all time. It is incredibly fun starting from nothing and building up your army to conquer your enemies. Which can then be pursuaded to join you. So by the end be able to have Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and anyone of your other favorites all on the same team is extremely satisfying. All in all a fantastic game. Side note, I saw another review saying there is no split screen co op, this is false, i can confirm that there is.

Familiar fun for fans of the series with deep customisation options and an impressive Empire Mode, but the repetitive combat formula hasn't evolved.
Despite being a little overwhelming at first, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires blossoms into an engrossing, addictive hack and slash adventure that fans won't want to miss. It's a shame that the game's bogged down by poor presentation and an unstable framerate, but along with the property's trademark combat, strategic elements add some variety to the mix, and the vast amount of customisation options and role-playing systems allow you to forge a legend that's more than worthy of the Three Kingdoms.
With its poor character AI, bland environments, and underwhelming visuals, actually fighting in Empires gets repetitive and old pretty quickly.
It's much more of the same. Enjoyable, addictive and big in scale and scope, but more of the same all over again.
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is everything a Dynasty Warriors hater thinks about the series made real. It’s a contemptuously assembled recycling project, and I’m sick of it.
With more options than any empires entry I played so far this really shines if you like the gameplay. Get married, have children, recruits a huge army, build structures on a risk-like map and fight among your own empire or support one of the computers, increasing in rank, fame, skills and overall just having a lot of things to do. Recommend.

Through the game was enjoyable I feel that they are missing some of it old enjoyable parts. I missing the different ending you get as you play differently through out the game. Another was that i missing stationing different warriors in different place of your own area. This build the game more into realism where if that area is attack tor defend you can only use those warrior in that area. I hate the Ruler AI in the game because I don't know why you would give up your position as king to another person.
Overall the game was great the enjoy with my different strategy you can use to win the game.

Another title with a game Dynasty Warriors brand came out, it became part of the already lost count of the many games with that name. The newest member of the Japanese series e eighth over, as the very name shows, but this is perhaps the biggest novelty at this last moment and title of the series.
The game is a classic Beam em up, which in plain English means that you will confront a significant number of opponents, which should erase. Behind the develpment and publication is people from the Japanese studio Omega Force and Koei, who continue to remind us about yourself through this immortal series. 8 whether it will be a lucky number bearing success and glory? You can choose only you - the players.
Deja vu
The gameplay and story bear a strange feeling of Deja vu. If in fact you have played any of the previous parts, then is not a feeling, but the simple reality. Dynasty Warriors is the latest improved version of that same game, but do not despair.
Anchored in the game story, based on the historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Luo Guanzhong, tells of a dilapidated Chinese dynasty "Khan" whose power was shaken. From the raging chaos in the country benefit feudal lords of the three dominant kingdoms: Wei, Shu and Wu, who have two choices: to wipe from the face of the earth dynasty once or it restored. Whether you merge all the kingdoms under your flag or power over all as a tyrant, you decide.
For people who are not touched by this title never will describe the game with three simple words: a lot of action, spectacle and much more than that. During most of the time you will fight on a battlefield, fighting for supremacy with your opponents from enemy kingdoms, but a start must choose your character and game mode. The game features over 80 characters from four different factions, among which you can choose.
In recent editions of the game appears a new one: Jin, which can play after scrolling game. As far as game modes, Dynasty Warriors 8 has 4 such: Ambition Mode, Story Mode, Free Mode and Challenge Mode. Despite the difference in names, each of them resembles largely with others, offering more than projected in the roots of the game battles, with little difference in the surrounding environment and mission. The game does not have an open world that we are used to, and is divided into multiple levels.
Each episode presents significant and not so significant battle in Chinese history where you have a specific assignment from your commander. Your goal in each mission is different, as it depends not only on the battle, but the choice of hero. The authors are not glowing with originality in designing your goals, as they most often are: elimination of the opposing general or officer and protect your master. Graphically the game is not very high and this can be seen with the naked eye. Rather than have stressed the visual look of the game, Omega Force decided that more important is the gameplay and fun, which must bear their title.
The levels are really quite simple developed, they are quite clean, which will help you to concentrate on the battle easier. While relaxing by the last fight, navigating to your next task you will encounter a variety of items such as bonuses for speed, double damage, food, restoring your health, weapons and even a bunch of other useful additions. All these things you will find in scattered in the levels: boxes, jugs and of course, most of your kind lifeless enemies. Dynasty Warriors offers fans six degrees of difficulty, which may prove to be quite a challenge for you, if your character is not sufficiently high level.
As I mentioned the game has a system to increase the level of your character, and consequently his health and bands with "anger" and your special force "monsoon" will rise with each Level. Not only you, but your weapons will improve, causing more damage to opponents. You will have quite an extensive arsenal of weapons that you can use in your every battle, but remember that there are important and how strong each. That with which this game will most impress you will not chart, and battles with their dynamics and expression. Just this greatest plus of the game will keep you viewing hours, eager to baste your opponents in even more stunning and brutal way.
Each level you facing hundreds of enemies, waiting to be defeated of you, but any army has generals and officers who may pose a threat. If skillfully avoid their attacks and counter attack at the right time, through the chaotic and furious inflating the keys (which is proven to increase your damage at least x10), then you really have a chance to triumph.
Music layout very well complements generally tense and energetic atmosphere, through its rhythm and speed. It is a mix between rock and metal intertwined with interesting, traditional Chinese melodies. On the other hand the sound of characters and lines and all other units are of very low level. During battles will listen to the constantly repeated inarticulate sounds like "oh", "eminence", "uh", "ah" and occasionally a dialogue between you and any of the other characters, allies or enemies .
It is not only pumping! Must and savvy.
Dynasty Warriors 8 is not expected to revolutionize gaming market, but it is an enjoyable title that will provide at least a few hours of real entertainment. The game and not devoid of problems, the most significant are the numerous bugs, non-optimized engine, terrible camera and the inevitable monotony of the gameplay which even end two DLC-they could not cope. Of course, this does not make it bad, just boring after some time spent on the battlefield. If you want to try something different from Counter Strike and Dota, this is the perfect for playing during in autumn.

At its core, the game offers a painfully vapid series of generic skirmishes and little else. Add that on top of Dynasty Warriors 8's already tired combat, and you've got the makings of an insipid title parading as as a Dynasty Warriors themed kingdom simulator.

Not played anything DW in full since Empires 5 and Dynasty Warriors 6. Coming back into the IP with Empires 8 well this IP in presentation looks and feels so dated and simple now. I think this series is just now for nostalgia fans. Wow this formula has not aged well.
Blocky maps with a totally inorganic feel to them. The combat so basic with just run/ride to a base clear out rinse repeat with simple like moves and tactics. The other Empires side content just fills out the game, but doesn't really add anything of depth or value. The most fun I had with this game was the customization of characters. You know the dress up fashion part ( oh deary me ).
Empires gets a plus for co-op, but a minus for the co-op partner having to wait around for all the Empire management stuff. I think I should of gone for Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends complete edition instead. Like sticking to just the mindless mashing and not got dragged down by the low tier effort of the Empires style filler parts.
