Some may consider that a win, but it is roughly just as bad as vanilla Dynasty Warriors 9. Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires Review: Just Say Noĭynasty Warriors 9 Empires is not worse than the base game. There was nowhere for it to go but up from the base game. Despite how much I dislike Dynasty Warriors 9, I've still spent over 90 hours in the thing.īeing a glutton for punishment, I was cautiously optimistic about Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires. It is an ill-conceived attempt at bringing the series into the modern era via a barren open world with combat even less satisfying than previous entries. Even $1/ month would be a hugely appreciated vote of confidence in the kind of work we’re doing.But my disdain for Dynasty Warriors 9 is reasonably well-documented.

Because these games render so many troops at once, and have levels that tend to be large in size, earlier games suffer from character and texture pop-in and/or framerate issues. One of the things about the Warriors games is that they do tend to benefit from the improved hardware each new generation of console brings.
We can only hope that this isn’t the end of Warriors games that take a narrow focus to tell us more about specific characters. It really worked, and felt almost JRPG-like at times for the weight of the narrative. Focusing on a single “clan” within the Sengoku period that the Samurai Warriors series is set, in this game you get to watch heroes grow from childhood, and watch the clan’s rise and eventually tragic fall. Spirit of Sanada is an interesting experiment in the storytelling capabilities of the Warriors series.
Warriors games generally focus on a large cast, each with their own stories to tell, and often those stories are wildly different, or in direct conflict to one another.
