dynasty warriors 7 xtreme legends review

You start on a battlefield pitted against literally thousands of enemies, and it’s your job to maul your way through the masses and win the battle by meeting certain pre-determined conditions.

For those familiar with games in the Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors series-or, to a lesser extent, Hyrule Warriors or Fire Emblem Warriors-the general gameplay loop should feel familiar.

No matter which mode you choose, as you play, you level up characters and acquire new weapons by defeating hordes of enemies, picking up dropped loot, and gaining experience. While whether that’s usually enough to keep things fresh is another topic entirely, new additions to this rehash of Dynasty Warriors 8 certainly add more things to do to this self-proclaimed “Definitive Edition.” Despite combat still feeling stale and repetitive after a few hours, taking the core of Dynasty Warriors 8 and adding things like an increased level cap and updating certain combat mechanics truly do make this the definitive version of Dynasty Warriors 8, and compiling the entire package onto Switch makes this the most comprehensive musou-style game to date.ĭynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition wraps a lot of game into a single package: there’s a Story mode, where you can follow the stories of each of the four families (Wu, Shu, Jin, or Wei) as well as an individual story centered around the infamous Lu Bu Free Mode, where you forge your own path with any of the game’s 80+ characters Ambition Mode, where you build a camp and try to recruit the Emperor to your cause and Challenge Mode, where you participate in battles using special conditions and you try to set new high scores. For a series that’s been around for over twenty years, Dynasty Warriors is always iterating on itself with each new entry.
