It does add a few small new things as well as DW8 characters and assets, but a lot of things, such as Way of Life, quests and tactics in battles have been oversimplified to say the least. 5/10ĭW8: Empires- This game, while good, just feels like a downgrade from DW7: Empires tbh. Battlefields also feel very constrained and poorly designed. All these options at my disposal and you'll only give me 6-15 minutes to do them in?! That, as well as enemies scaling to get gradually stronger everytime (something i'd love in other circumstances) means that i could only stomach one playthrough of this. That is until you get to the battles and their shitty time limits.
I love the strategical elements and choice offered to the player, aesthetically even the menus look like re-done versions of SW2 and it can be a fun game for roleplaying. SW4: Empires- The policy phase and character interactions are perfect.
This game did introduce quests and expanded CAW greatly, so it's not all bad. 3/10ĭW6: Empires- All strategical nuance has been removed, and policy cards have been reduced to mere stat boosts rather than anything remotely interesting. N/AĭW4: Empires- The worst empires game, very barebones and repetitive, surprised koei decided to keep going with the series, but it does get a lot better from here and koei deserve credit for this spinoff even with this shoddy start. SW3: Empires- Haven't played and hated SW3 base game but build-a-town feature looks so awesome. The glorious open world they promised ended up feeling barren, the game never manages to play at over 30fps and the graphics are underwhelming.So, in lieu of the DW9 Empires announcement, i replayed all empires games i own over the past few days to see how the series has progressed and these are my thoughts. Perhaps it was precisely this grand ambition that brought the game down.
It’s always sad to see the latest entry in such a long-running series make the bottom of the ranking, especially when they were as hyped and ambitious as Dynasty Warriors 9. Whether you’ve been cutting down enemies like grass for years or just found out about the franchise and want to really get into it, here’s my ranking of the entire main titles in the Dynasty Warriors series. Omega Force has since gone on to bring the gift of Musou to several other IPs, as seen in Hyrule Warriors and Dragon Quest Heroes, but their main title is still the golden standard against which each of these games is measured. And even less can claim to have remained its most successful proponent. Loosely based on the 14th-century Chinese historical novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” by Luo Guangzhong, Dynasty Warriors has become one of gaming’s most influential franchises.įew games can say they created a genre as Dynasty Warriors did with the hack’n’slash crowd-combat extravaganza that is the “Musou” genre.
