Not quite the same amount but a lot, it has many storylines to play through with branching story arcs and a lot of content to experience. The game in itself has a lot of characters, as does the book. The novel follows hundreds of characters, the focus is mainly on the three power blocs that emerged from the remnants of the Han dynasty, and would ultimately form the three states of Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu. It romanticises and dramatises the lives of feudal lords and their retainers, who tried to replace the dwindling Han dynasty or return it to its former glory. The story is based on the Historic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and its narrative which is in equal parts, historical, legend and mythology. I was thrown a lot of information and characters at the start of the game and I had to take a little time to get used to everything that was happening.
Having not played previous instalments of the series, I felt a bit lost at first. So hopefully after so many versions and re-releases the game should be in perfect condition, should play fantastic and be the ultimate version of the game, right? The Xtreme Legends version of the game was first released in 2013 for various formats and was a launch title for the PlayStation 4 when it launched in Japan in 2014. Dynasty Warriors 8, which was this titles starting point was originally released in 2013 and has had various re-releases, add-ons and dlc over the years touching nearly every format, console and generation of hardware since. I really enjoy combat systems in games and from what I have seen, I should enjoy Dynasty Warriors and what it has to offer me.ĭynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition, which in itself is a title and a half, is quite an old game. I was really looking forward to jumping in and finding out what all the intricacies of the gameplay were about and how the games played. They always appeared to be niche titles in the west and they were rarely advertised over here, they have a strong fan base but rarely hit the highs of mainstream titles.
I don’t know why I had never tried one, maybe I could never find a decent point to jump into the series or maybe they just slipped on by without really drawing my attention. I will state now that I have never played a Dynasty Warriors title before but I had known of them and had seen them in action. It was one of the WiiU’s failings, the lack of third party support that seems to have been fixed with Nintendo’s latest console and the games just keep coming on the excellent home console portable hybrid. The Nintendo Switch seems to be getting a lot of older games at the moment, giving fans a chance to revisit old favourites or experience some classic games for the first time. Rarely have I had to fight that many foes at once, my screen was a blur of blades and carnage as I cut my way through the latest instalment of Dynasty Warriors on the Nintendo Switch.
