I have to say, I had a lot of fun with Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires. The level of customization here is crazy, the political parts of the game are easy to understand, it’s fun to stroll around with officers, and the combat here is great. I feel like if I were playing this on a higher difficulty the strategy part would get insane, but there are a few different levels to choose from. This means every player can adjust this until it feels right to them. It took me around 10 hours to do one campaign and see a good bit of the events this one has to offer. There is still plenty of gameplay on the table here for me. If you are fan of these games, this one would certainly be worth the $59.99 asking price. There is a lot of meat here to keep players happy for a long time. If you want a graphically stunning version, the Switch version probably isn’t the way to go, but it runs well enough that if you want to have it on the go, it certainly isn’t a bad choice.

Dynasty Warriors is still gracing consoles with enormous, repetitive, glorious video game brawls.” - Spectacular new single player Ambition Mode - New weapon balancing adds nice strategy to fights - A ton of game to play - Can get repetitive - Improved graphics still don't stun - Still the same game despite small changes In an ever-changing world of entertainment, the new Dynasty Warriors 8 is succulent comfort food served during the summer lull of big releases.
