The combat is fairly nuanced and the huge number of different weapons and the ability to switch between two during battles spices things up. Players take control of any of dozens of unique playable officers and defeat hundreds or thousands of enemies in a struggle for control over a huge map.
I liked Wang Yi’s voice, for example.ĭynasty Warriors 8 sports pretty solid game-play, if it isn’t at all new or innovative.
Rumor has it that dual audio will be released for the game as free DLC at some point, but that could just be wishful thinking.Īnyway, some of the voice actors are terrible while others are pretty decent. I also couldn’t find a way to disable the subtitles. Unfortunately, that is not the case, as the voice settings can’t be changed. It was previously mentioned that this game would support dual audio, allowing gamers everywhere to enjoy the typically more legitimate and sincere Japanese voice acting. Like the soundtrack, the voice acting in this game is also a mixed bag. Other classic sounds make a return, such as the exciting “ding” of a musou bar maxing out. The music that plays between missions is an example of this. However, there is also a nice number of slow, somber, orchestral pieces and these are the real highlights of the soundtrack for me. Many of the tracks that play during regular missions are still throwaway metal with very little distinctive flavor. While I have typically been indifferent to music in the Dynasty Warriors series, Dynasty Warriors 8 offers a mixed bag. Even with relatively good narration between each battle, the story can be quite confusing, which makes the timelines and summaries in the gallery very useful. Meeting certain conditions in certain skirmishes can have big impacts on the ending, and you can even rescue character’s that would otherwise be killed in battle, enabling them to see the battle to the end.Īny fan of the series has already been enthralled by events like the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Battle of Chibi many times before, but these sequences look better than ever here and are still entertaining.
A cool feature is the branching paths in the story mode.
Wei, Shu and Wu all have their own dedicated campaigns and together they comprise the story mode.
