The gameplay in 8 Empires is very similar to other games in the series, both Dynasty Warriors as a whole and the Empires set of games. There is plenty to do as both a Free Officer and a member of a Kingdom so you can get around 3 playthroughs and still find something new with the game as a whole. To complete ever scenario you are looking at around 20+ hours, but they are all in the same areas so it can get quite repetitive after a while.


To complete a scenario can take up to 6 hours, depending on how you play them as you can be a free officer for a very long time or go straight into a kingdom and start a war to rule the continent. You can also load custom Scenarios where you have placed very kingdom and officer beforehand, or download a DLC setting or someone else’s creation.Įvery story will last you smaller amounts of time as you go down the list, due to less kingdoms fighting each other and you only really needing to take over the capitals of each.

Lastly the Coup d’état follows after the death of the Wei Emperor with only 4 factions left to fight against each other.Īnother scenario is called A Gathering of Heroes which randomises the map, with all the kingdoms and your own made factions into different sizes and positions.Battle of Chibi shows Cao Cao expanding even further with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang combining with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao.Battle of Guandu continues on again from the last, with Cao Cao facing off against Yuan Shao with you in the mix.The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo starts just after the last story, with Dong Zhuo as the main villain who is trying to take over the remaining forces, Cao Cao attacking in response.The Yellow Turban Rebellion starts with Zhang Jiao creating an army and revolting against the land, with officers being asked for help to defend against them.The story in Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is similar to the other Empire version of previous titles, and allows you to choose different time periods to fight in. Developed by Omega Force, Empire sets you as a free officer or an officer affiliated with a kingdom, whom must choose a side to fight for or make their own kingdom and take over the four corners of china. Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is the latest spin on the Dynasty Warriors 8 series, an adaption to the Xtreme Legends like the franchise does with most of the numbered instalments.
