Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires biggest flaw remains in the combat arena, no matter what the strategy adds. This expansion pack, coming more than a year after the original, is supposed to provide an alternative to the mind-numbing button-mashing that would be better suited in a sticky-floored arcade by the seaside.

Technology Tell writes, "When you go with a custom character in a Dynasty Warriors 8 campaign, youre given the opportunity to choose your initial followers. Since the game also offers the opportunity to have your leader pair off with one of his or her officers, perhaps even getting married and having children, I saw this as the perfect opportunity to fill my ranks with the hottest warriors. Hm, I wonder if thats where they got the name Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Tin Salamunic: Im tired of developers cramming the term cinematic down our throats. Cinematic has become nothing but an excuse for poor gameplay design. Instead of actual cinematic experiences, we are treated to, well, just cinematics. A cutscene doesnt make a game cinematic. The Last of Us is cinematic because it blends excellent storytelling with engaging gameplay. Cutscenes in The Last of Us are the cherry topping. They tie elements together.

I have always believed that if you make a good game, then gamers will forgive you for lackluster moments. Thats pretty much how I can sum up the experience with Dynasty Warriors 8 - Empires. Its a game that visually seems like it is stuck in 2011, but screams on the inside that its ready for the Playstation 4/Xbox One era.

Technology Tell writes, "Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires isnt really a great game for someone looking for an enormous amount of depth or strategy. Yes, the basic elements are there. At certain points throughout a year, there will be a War Council where a player prioritizes goals for a term and determines what actions to try and complete for a reward. "
