In 8, every character has a preferred “Ex” weapon which has a couple of special combo moves and (this probably happened a while back, but it was new to me) the weapons each have one of three affinities: heaven, earth or man. He can just club everybody to unconsciousness with a canoe. Guys, did you read about this general who was reportedly great at naval battles? In that case let’s make his favourite weapon a boat. There’s something eternally heartening about the way in which Dynasty Warriors interprets its source text. Following exactly what’s supposed to be going on can be challenging when any given stage can be followed by a “five years later … oh and by the way that guy you were playing as is now dead,” but I guarantee that by the end you’ll at least have learned the names of the main players in Wei, Wu and Shu and figured out that Liu Bei is an untrustworthy punk chancer. Story mode alone has six different perspectives from which to view the hyper-stylised version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Dynasty Warriors always portrays. That’s still an awful lot of stuff though. To be honest, most of my screenshots are going to be like this. It means you’re getting Dynasty Warriors 8 and the Xtreme Legends add-on bundled together, not that every single piece of DLC is part of the set too.

Confusing stuff, until you’ve learned how to navigate weapon filtering menus without resorting to Tab and Page Up.Īs already noted, ‘Complete’ is a bit of misleading term to use for this release. The only curiosity I ran into was the game’s weird insistence on either using keyboard prompts (even when a controller is plugged in) or oblique symbols like a picture of a sword to try to communicate button commands. But somebody like me, who’s been enjoying smooth 60fps/1080p Dynasty Warriors 8 for the past fortnight, has a completely different perspective.

If somebody with a 16:10 aspect monitor bought it with the intention of playing online co-op and then hit the loading screen bug, I’d imagine they’d swear off Dynasty Warriors PC ports for life. It’s one of those ports where if you hit all of the problems above, it’d seem like a disaster zone.

The game has recently received a patch which seems to fix this bug, but for the two weeks prior Dynasty Warriors 8 XLCE will have been quite a frustrating experience for an unfortunate few. Worst of all, there was some kind of problem relating to multi-core processors which could cause infinitely looping loading screens on some machines.
Online co-op (present in the console versions) and Japanese voice options are missing as well, which is disappointing for something labelled as a ‘Complete Edition.’ĭian Wei demonstrates how Dynasty Warriors works. 16:9 is the only aspect ratio supported, so resolutions like 1650×1080 are simply not available as options. Texture quality and graphical effects seem to be an odd mish-mash of PS3 and PS4 versions, with NPC textures looking especially embarrassing for a 2014 PC release.

There’s much to appreciate about it: effortless numbers of soldiers on screen, solid 60fps at 1080p (assuming you have the specs for it) and the convenience of having a western-localised Dynasty Warriors on PC. Likewise, if you’re in my position and just haven’t played one in several years this PC release is, with a couple of caveats, a pretty great excuse to return. If Dynasty Warriors 8 XLCE is your entry point into the series (and it absolutely can be, despite the high number involved,) that won’t be a problem. That, I think, is where the “it’s always the same!” complaint comes from. If you do that for 50-100 hours every single year, you’ll probably burn out. Each installment does bring a few new things (characters, weapons, modes, combat systems, a quicker way to get on your horse,) but the main point will always be knocking 300 peasant soldiers in the air with a big halberd while high-treble guitar shredding wobbles your speakers.
Just like an annual sports series, it’s wise not overdose on Dynasty Warriors. Dian Wei explains how Dynasty Warriors works.
