The five primary events you can choose to play through are “The Yellow Turban Rebellion”, “The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo”, “Battle of Guandu”, “The Battle of Chibi” and “Coup d’etat”. The games only playable mode is the “Empire Mode”, where you take on the role as a character out there to make it big during a number of big events heavily featured in the series – whether it is a free officer, mercenary, loyal officer or even a ruler set upon leading your Kingdom to complete control through any means possible. Does Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires offer anything past what some people have come to expect as a button mashing game? Granted it will most probably not win many new people over to the series – for current fans I felt it offered quite a different experience from previous Empires installments and was pretty enjoyable to play through ( More so if you play on the more challenging difficulties). Each title in the series has maintained the same core gameplay with tweaks to set itself from the other releases – in particular with more recent releases as they have made the jump to current generation consoles. The Empires titles on the other hand are more notable different – where they switch the focuses a bit… from a more storyline oriented conquest of China to a user-directed unification of China and where you can use both original and custom characters with the goal to unite the country under your rule.Ĭonsidering the game is the twenty-something’th installment in the Dynasty Warriors series that began in 1997, it has been running for quite a while now. The longest running additional spin-off series has been the Xtreme Legends expansion which generally offers new scenarios and other bonus features not included in the original release. As of Dynasty Warriors 3 on the Playstation 2 – Omega Force and Koei have chosen to release a number of spin-off titles based on the same technology of the respective main game often with an altered gameplay experience. Each numbered installment in the Dynasty Warriors series is generally based off the Romance of the Three Kingdoms saga, and Dynasty Warriors 7 is no exception.
