![]() ![]() All I know is that it gives a good weapon the shaft though the Musou attack remains the same. As I did not in fact play every single character in this, I know that the “bow & arrow”was for some reason changed to “bow & rod”. Now for something older players may be concerned with: weapon addition and reworking. Unfortunately, weapon switching in game remains, as do the special attacks every character will have with their assigned weapon. The combo system remains the same with minor changes to some of the game dynamics like the new Storm Rush ability, which will trigger whenever attacking drains a little bar to the side, releasing a flurry of wide-range attacks you can mash attack to extend the duration of. Nothing has changed in that, so if you like to smash your button until it shatters like the enemies onscreen before your virtual Eotena onslaught… welcome, friends. Surely even if you have never played any one of the numerous Dynasty Warriors titles, you have heard about the king of button mashers. There were, however, a good few additions to the roster this time, including two fairly obscure relatives to Guan Yu, one of Cao Cao’s generals named Li Dian, and Sima Yi’s wife Zhang Chunhua, who seems to make even the great strategist somewhat flustered (which I found rather entertaining). The blood brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei remain strong until history reminds them the game needs to be somewhat factual Cao Cao and his cohorts are up to their usual schemes, world domination and all that the sad tale of the Sun family and their quest to bring the Imperial Han back to power includes all members of the family we know and laugh at and of course Sima Yi, his sons, and allies all continue to seek whatever it is they happen to be seeking at the time. It also helps for once knowing the names of characters in this if you want to unlock a certain person, as in the battle select screen it will say “(Insert historical figure) is rumored to be in the area,” or some such hint that whoever it says will be there.Īs far as the characters go, anyone who’s ever played a Dynasty Warriors title will recognize most of the ones here instantly. Anyways, when you defeat an actual playable character, most of the time they will join your cause, and you will then be able to play as them in any mission you wish. How beating the crap out of enemies makes them want to follow you, I will never quite understand. By fighting – what else? Along the way, you fight in however many battles as you see fit while collecting resources, experience, weapons, and allies to bolster your cause. You begin by choosing any unlocked officer you have, and begin a quest to gain the Emperors favor. ![]() It was an interesting touch, and much appreciated from the mostly repeated scenes in each game.Īmbition Mode is the one that really adds a lot of gameplay. For instance in the Jin campaign, Zhuge Liang, a strategist for Shu and Sima Yi’s greatest rival, is already dead. Story Mode is mostly the same as ever with one interesting difference: each faction story takes place at different times. As far as options go, there’s not a whole lot of difference from the old ones: Story Mode, Free Battle, and the newcomer, Ambition Mode. Most if not all characters return with minor visual changes, and in some cases major overhauls for certain main weapon styles. Veterans of the series will immediately be hit with a wave of nostalgia as incredibly inappropriate rock music begins to play and the opening CG (as crazy and physics-defying as ever) starts.
