Dynasty Warriors 8 Create A Character Download Custom Scenarios

For example, if you keep doing escort missions and increase your Virtue (a goodevil measurement system), your character will appear as a kind warrior if they show up as an NPC.

Ive played nearly every main entry in the series, some of the Xtreme Legends, and only a few of the Empires.

One of the things that I enjoy about the game is that theres tons and tons of characters to choose from and having that in a beat em up game makes it very enjoyable for me.

It plays out similarly to all of the others except that it is organized in scenarios.

Each scenario has a scripted event that occurs a few years of game time in where say the Yellow Turbans begin their rebellion or people form a coalition to fight against Dong Zhou.

However, after this event, not much happens in each of the scenarios.

Everyone begins fighting for themselves with the goal of unifying the country of China.

The only thing that changes is the starting point and the scripted event.

The games ending depends on your general position at the end of the time limit.

On the PC, the game can handle having numerous characters on screen at once though soldiers do seem to randomly pop up as part of the games mechanics rather than the limited number of characters or objects on screen.

The Musou attacks look very impressive and theres numerous diverse animations for each weapon.

The scripted events also look very beautiful with very good lighting though some of the characters look like they have oddly shaped eyes.

I remember my first game had a ruler with huge eyes that looked like they were about to pop out of his face.

During this time, you can choose to participate in the scenario to join the battle or you can choose not to.

Afterwards, the goal is to either run time out (50 years of game time, which is equivalent to something like 700 turns) or unifying China by conquering every region in the game.

Most people will probably be able to do it in under 150 turns though.

You can create, upload, and download custom scenarios too, but they play out the same and you can usually get something more interesting by just going to the free for all map.

Materials and gold are needed for building while soldiers are needed for fighting.

Theres also other mechanics like the happiness of the region, the defense stats of the region, and officer fatigue.

Each region in the game allows you to build up to two buildings.

Most buildings increase income, but some give you access to more items or allow you to buy better weapons.

Unfortunately, you will rarely ever get enough buildings completed to gain access to high end weapons and items.

Every action you take has long term effects due to the limited resources available and the high cost of keeping a large army.

There are special cutscenes available for how you build your empire and your relationships with other officers.

This is just a pre-determined factor that determines how a character will act.
