It seems the backgrounds have lower resolution textures in the Switch version. I had previously only played a bit of DW8: Xtreme Legends on PS4 and this version is very similar in presentation. I must say that DW8 is easily the best of the DWs that use the old-school formula that I have played. DW9 was my first true introduction to the DW series, so I was introduced to the series once it had changed to open world. They’re both not that fun to be honest, and I found myself quickly returning to the story modes.Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition is a Nintendo Switch port of the ultimate version of DW8 along with all the DLC that was released for Xtreme Legends. Challenge mode is pretty self explanatory – you’ll be tasked with showing your skills through a range of scenarios, while Ambition encourages players to, as well as the on-field action, build a camp by using the resources they obtain from battles. In addition to the wonderful story mode, Xtreme Legends offers a Challenge mode and Ambition mode. With 82 characters to select from, the inexperienced player will be overwhelmed by the choice.
In my experiences with games that feature a huge character roster, you’re slowly introduced to the cast, allowing you to experiment and decide which character plays best for you. Dynasty Warriors 8 feels like a fan service, almost to the point of frightening off new players. If I spent time to read all of the history and character descriptions, it would easily take a few hours. It is staggering how much content Tecmo Koei have been able to insert into this game. Sure one hero is killing thousands of enemies with an oversized paintbrush, but the flow of battles are modelled after a real historical event.įor fans of the series (and the historical events the series is based upon) I have no doubt in my mind they would be happy with the included Encyclopedia alone. Story mode is where Xtreme Legends shines, as it makes the player feels as if they are experiencing the battles as if they occurred in real life. Then as your character walks into the battlefield, all hell breaks lose. The character can use this time to talk to NPCs, or buy weapons at the shop. Each mission starts off in a small closed off area. The missions take place within some very famous battles that really did happen a long time ago, as well as multiple hypothetical scenarios.
I don’t think I could coherently put into words how much fun each of the missions are in this game. And considering this is the first time I have ever played a full Dynasty Warriors game, I found it to be quite an enjoyable romp through the historical fiction Romance of the Three Kingdoms book. There’s something sadistically enjoyable about killing thousands of warriors on the battlefield.
