Depending on if you have the advantage or not, you could either trigger a Storm Rush attack or have your guard wrecked by a general. This creates a rock-paper-scissors-like mechanic where one class is strong against one class but weak against the other. Every weapon can be classified as either Heaven, Earth or Man. The big addition with the 8th entry is the “Three-Point System” used for weapon designation.
However, that would do a disservice to the depth that Omega Force has developed over the past 20-ish years. And to be fair to the haters, the core formula can get pretty monotonous. It would be easy to write the franchise off as simplistic at first glance. While far from historically accurate, what other franchise lets you mow down thousands of faceless troops with the ringed blades of Sun Shangxiang? All of your favorites from the Wu, Wei, Jin, and Shu kingdoms are here, along with others that don’t fit into any of the states, such as the iconic Lu Bu. As in the past, you get the chance to step into the shoes of classic figures from China’s historic Three Kingdoms period. If you are familiar with 2018’s Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, you should be at least somewhat at home with Xtreme Legends. Rather than port the newest entry over for the franchise’s arrival on the Switch, publisher Koei instead went with Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition, an enhanced version of a celebrated earlier edition.Īlthough this is the first Dynasty Warriors game to hit the Switch, it’s not the first “Musou” title to appear on the platform. In the 20+ years since, developer Omega Force has replicated the blueprint for everything from Japan’s Sengoku period to the absurd world of Fist of the North Star. The series got its start in 1997, but it was the first sequel that introduced the formula it has become known for - large-scale battles set against the backdrop of Chinese history.
For pretty much as long as I’ve been seriously gaming, Dynasty Warriors has been around.
