Frequent slowdowns have been a problem for the series since the first ‘hack and slash’ game, Dynasty Warriors 2. Gameplay benefits from the next generation update as there are more enemies on the field at any time, there are fewer slowdowns in combat compared to the original release and the frame rate only dips slightly during the most chaotic sequences. Animations are cleaner, graphics are clearer, and battlefields have proper lighting. In terms of graphics, this game feels like a next generation Warriors title game. In the era of rushed HD remakes, it was nice to see a game that was thoroughly upgraded. Having spent hours playing the original release on the Playstation 3, I was pleasantly surprised at how much has been improved. Are updated graphics and additional gameplay content enough to justify its purchase? This review says yes. Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition is the seventh ‘hack and slash’ game in this series, offering a more complete package on the Playstation 4. Thanks to the medium of video games, more and more people have become familiar with this historical novel set in the Three Kingdoms era following the fall of the Han Dynasty in China.
