With the current status of Triple “A” games such as Destiny, Evolve, Titianfall, and The Order 1886. Final Verdict: Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is an extremely fun game despite its flaws. Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires does make a lot of great progress in expanding on the Empire formula, but these new mechanics need to be refined. Some features of the game are stripped down into being almost useless mechanics. Improved customization options are greatly appreciated, but losing the ability to unlock more armor is disappointing.
However, certain features from DW7: Empires have be downgraded or simplified in DW8: Empires.
Pros: - Enhanced customization features for the CAWs - Ability to make your own flag - Ability to choose what your soldiers look like - Ability to create your own scenarios - The “Rock, Paper, Scissors” weapon element system (I liked it) - FREE MODE! - A better officer trait system (it is harder to abuse) - The ability to have children (still cool even though the children are ugly as sh*t) - Easier to make friends with multiple officers - A better progression system (you can’t object your ruler’s opinion unless you are a prefect) - Added DLC weapons from Dynasty Warriors 8 - A cool weather system (EX: lightning stratagems work better in storms) - Lian shi no longer has a crossbow - The ability to use bonus points to unlock weapons - Improved item system - Quests and raids are now different things (the effects of both are also different) - Online multiplier - Completing battle objectives earns bonus points - More political options - A better weapon level system (each weapon forge adds a level) - A better item level system (each item shop adds a level) - A better stratagem level system (each academy adds a level) - Countries have only a certain number of soldiers (more can be recruited) Cons: - Scrolling through armor or other customization options is slow - Less cut scenes - AI seems “dumber” - Wang Yi’s new weapons doesn’t really match her character (my opinion) - Only a few new customization pieces - Defensive battles are too short (5 min) - Can’t unlock new armor - The stratagems are not as good - All AI controlled officers tend to act the same - Graphics are downgraded from Dynasty Warriors 8: XL - Frame rate drops like a cinder block when attacking archer towers - No slit screen Summary: This game makes a lot of improvements to the Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires formula.
