Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires

Designed for the legions of Dynasty Warriors fans, DYNASTY WARRIORS 6: Empires is game that brings together the best distinct features of the action and scheme genres. In this latest edition, players may experience Ancient China’s greatest and most glorious war as an all-powerful lord or as an officer. As a lord, gamers will have to think strategically. By settling when to attack, when to protest invasion, or when to initiate policies, a lord may exaggerate their power and influence. An easy-to-learn “card collecting” scheme lets players enact policies that will increase their empire’s strength, improve the abilities of their forces, and more. The cards that a player receives will depend on the traits of the officers and their army. Players may also pledge their allegiance to a kingdom to become an officer. As an officer, players may suggest policies in the kingdom’s war council, finish missions for rewards, or even turn versus their ruler must relations sour. Most eagerly awaited by fans is a game mode that allows players to construct their own warrior. DYNASTY WARRIORS 6: Empires features an spacious reputation editing system with choices to custommake a warrior’s gender, build, skin tone, facial features, voice, clothing, weapon and more. Whomever players choose to be, they may now use mountain ledges and waterways to infiltrate enemy bases and launch surprise attacks on supply depots to modify the flow of battle.

It’s Dynasty Warriors. That is all.
By Tanzuki Akuya
Gameplay – 4/5
As any DW fan will notice, dw6 replaced the old combo system with the new Renbu system. You can essentially mash square and attack forever. They changed it a little from DW6, since now Renbu doesn;’t decrease overtime, and is dependant on weapon level. Also, the numerous Imbueings and Special Attacks you can stick onto a weapon add another level of depth entirely, and I perfer this to random drops any day. The combat styles range from narrow, low-body count motions to wide area base-clearing sweeps, allowing custom officers to be made as anything from a duelist to a master of one against many.

Graphics – 3/5
I noticed right off that the quality of peons had decreased from DW6. The officer quality remains the same. I noticed later that this was to cram more characters into every level. For instance, I struggled to get 500KO in DW5E before any battle ended, but here I average 1200 or so.

Sound – 3/5
I enjoy the empires feature to select your own BGM from almost any song from a previous DW game. However, the horrible Enlgish voices return yet again, making you wish for the Japanese voice option, or making you glad to set voice volume to 0.

Replayability – 3/5
Replayability is the highest of any DW to date for me. Largely due to the initially frustrating fact that officer stats do NOT carry over from one play through to the next. Instead, you get clear points, which can be used to allow carry over of weapons, horses, and starting off with bonus gold or items. Once I played through twice, I found this enhances the raplayability for me. Also, there are numerous pieces of edit officer clothes to unlock by completing missions and playthroughs.

Overall – 4/5
My favorite DW title to date. Best edit officer feature in my opinion. Love it!

Some things about this are great, and some not-so-great…
By M. A Jenkins
All in all, I am pleased with the latest installment of DW:Empires. In fact, I enjoy playing it more than the original DW6. I would like to see some more innovation, but all in all, it’s a fun title that should have had better bells and whistles.

The Good:

- The combat system. I love the renbu system. I can’t imagine why someone wouldn’t like it. I still can pull off the combos from previous games, but now I can continually attack. What’s not to like?

Some of the power attacks are positively hilarious as well. I really like Meng Huo pulling up trees and giant mushrooms(???) to attack his enemies with.I’m also happy that Liu Bei has finally become such a power house.

- The music is awesome. Not only are you treated to the tracks from DW6, but you get a HUGE selection of tracks from the previous games. All of them have the chinese ancient wailing guitars you have become familiar with, and I love it. Moreover, you can choose to listen to any piece of music at any time. Great nostalgia, and fun grooves as well.

- This game fixes many of the problems from previous “Empires” games. One of the biggest problems with the previous games was that it was too easy to form alliances. Strategies are now based solely on the officers you currently have, and if you lose the officer, you lose the strategy. More could (and should) have been done here, but overall, the game is more fun to play, with both an “officer” and a “ruler” mode.

The Bad:

- Unfortunately, “Empires” fixes NONE of the problems from “DW6″. The graphics are still lame, the map is way too small to explain some of the intricate passageways and whatnot, and Jiang Wei, Pang De, Zhu Rong, Da Qiao and Zuo Ci are still missing (among others, possibly). I hate KOEI’s insistence of cutting things back in titles (look at the “evolution” of the RTK series). But the worst offender has to be the camera. It is just awful in this one, which is a shame, since the game itself moves at an incredible pace. It’s a shame to lose sight of an enemy because the camera suddenly gives you a sky view, for whatever reason.

- Moreover, while this rendition of “Empires” fixes some of the previous problems, it introduces a lot of new ones as well. Some strategies are grossly overpowered (Sun Quan can play a strategy which insures that he is never, ever attacked).

The uninspired:

- The trophies are a joke. You can get all of them in a matter of hours. I don’t care much trophies, but you should have to work for something.

Very fun, then starts the repitition.
By D. Peris
This game, is way to repetitive. The first campaign I played I was all into it, being a dynasty warriors fan. But then I started the second one and it was just the same thing over and over. Exept with a character much worst than the previous one so it got kind of annoying. But I am happy with what I got out of this game, seeing as how I only payed 20$ for this. So if you can get this for cheap, go for it. I saw that the price rose on amazon up to 40$, It might change so if it goes lower, get this game.
