His goal is to get this ‘Tongquetai’ built in order to impress the Emperor, lure him over here, and then use him in his schemes for power. This time instead of a historical campaign, I’m playing as an ambitious officer from a poor kingdom within a nearby land. Sorry 'call horse', you're a good button and I do like you, but I like 'switch weapon' just that little bit more.
That weapon switch button also tends to smack enemies into the air when I press it too, so it's quickly becoming one of my favourite buttons. Or I can wait until they unleash a Storm Rush on me, and then tap weapon switch to counter it. If I find an enemy in the field using the affinity I'm weak to, I'd likely do better against them after hitting the weapon switch button and whipping out my secondary sword. They have different affinities too, like Heaven, Earth and Man, which I think works as a kind of rock, paper, scissors system. I've found flying swords, an arm cannon, a rake, a bit of cloth… there are some amazing weapons in here. Oh hang on, I was wrong, it does eventually stop if I scroll down for long enough, but holy shit there are a lot of fighting styles here to choose from. I'd be more interested in swapping my weapons out and going through this list to try out all the other techniques, but sadly that is impossible as this list never actually ends. I can stick with the same fighting style though, as it's mostly attached to the pair of weapons I have equipped. Screw that though, it's been ages since I've played one of these so I'm playing through the Tutorial stage to learn the basics. There's a big golden 'New' next to his name so I suppose he was added in the Xtreme Legends expansion, along with some extra stages for the others. Story Mode gives me the choice of either playing through one of the three kingdoms, an extra faction called 'Jin', 'Other', or the asshole warlord Lu Bu on his own. Anyone hoping that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are going to get over their row in the final act and run away to get married is going to be disappointed. The Dynasty Warriors franchise is based on the famous Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is a bit of a rubbish title really considering it's more of a dramatised account of the conflict between three factions over dominance of China at the end of the Han Dynasty. I think I’ll just go with the story for now, to get myself off this menu before the hypnotic drum loop drives me mad.

Story Mode, Free Mode, Ambition Mode, Challenge Mode… the game isn’t short on modes is it? It pops up some text on the bottom left to explain what each mode is about, but the description isn't being particularly helpful in this case. (Click the images to view them at around.

I’ve been a big fan of the series since the PlayStation 2 games though so I’m way past the point of unbiased criticism anyway. Oh I should mention that this was a surprise gift from a friend who reads the site, so I can’t actually say anything bad about the game. I’ve never wanted to play dress-up with my video game characters so badly though.
thankfully priced way above my impulse buy limit. So many irritatingly tempting costume packs. This definitely the first and only one I’ve ever seen on Steam though, along with its 7,000 pieces of DLC. You know, I've always assumed that the Dynasty Warriors series was firmly console only, but apparently they’ve been getting PC ports since the fourth game back in 2003.
It’s called the 'Complete Edition' because it combines the base Dynasty Warriors 8 game with the Xtreme Legends expansion, which is as complete as the game gets in the West until the Empires expansion makes an appearance later this year. Today for Super Adventures I’m spending an hour or two learning about Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends – Complete Edition! You can’t even claim I cheated to put this as one of my ‘X’ games this time because just look at the logo! This is Xiest X game since… did Vin Diesel's xXx ever get a game tie-in? No? Okay then, this is the Xiest X game since BMX XXX.
