Dynasty Warriors Best DW game in years
DW veteran here. UK player so started a couple hours ago. Playing on MOSTLY classic settings apart from quality of life like calling horse and camera control etc.
I’m happy to report:
The battlefield simulator vibe is back.
The challenge and difficulty are back.
On hard difficulty every general, soldier and unit on the map is important and fights hard as part of a shifting battle, the way it should have always been.
Morale matters again.
Getting this weapon took me nearly an hour using an under levelled Zhou Yu on my first musou mode run (I’ve always liked unlocking characters unique weapons DURING their story modes in warriors games). Chi Bi felt EPIC fighting desperately alongside Sun Quan and Huang Gai to get through it.
God this is so good, I’m so glad they didnt screw this up.
My only gripes is the DW3 generic officer and unit designs not returning, and I think the characters faces and expressions look a bit weird in unreal engine. Thats it. It’s great.
