The biggest thing I feared was shoddy performance. That could either be a blessing or a curse, but I really enjoy Dynasty Warriors 8’s combat, so I’m ready to dig in. Even without factoring in the unlockable hypothetical paths, you’re looking at a staggering amount of battles to be fought. I’ve only ever played the original on PS3, so I was pretty blown away when I looked at the level select screen and saw a second campaign for each of the four main factions. Thankfully, the Switch release of Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition (my god, what a mouthful) nearly lives up to its lofty title and is a good way to experience this high-octane action romp.Īs that run-on sentence of a name suggests, this new version of Dynasty Warriors 8 is a complete bundle of both the base game and its Xtreme Legends expansion. Obviously dialing it back to the last entry was a safe bet for performance, but just about anything could have gone wrong with this port. Secondly, 9 barely runs properly on a beefy PC, let alone the underpowered Switch.
Why is it only now getting ported to the Switch instead of its successor, Dynasty Warriors 9? Well, for starters, Dynasty Warriors 9 is awful. That title came out five years ago, though. If you went for 100% completion, you were looking at spending at least 100 hours digging your teeth into its secrets. It contained swift, crunchy gameplay, a ridiculous amount of content, and full co-op support for every mode in the game.
Despite playing most of the Dynasty Warriors titles, a couple of the Warriors Orochi crossovers, and the wonderful Hyrule Warriors, I still have only played about 1/10th of the games in this series.Įven so, many people will tell you that Dynasty Warriors 8 was one of the best games in Koei Tecmo’s prevalent franchise.
The team over at Omega Force has pumped out so many titles under the banner that you’d be forgiven for not knowing nearly half of them. At this point in time, people are probably sick of hearing about Dynasty Warriors.
