gamrReview's Joseph Trotter: "For all its obvious faults, the basic premise of Dynasty Warriors is still fun; hack as many people as possible using semi-mythical god-like warriors until your fingers bleed. This formula was correct as of Dynasty Warriors 2, so to see the series effectively treading water since then is disappointing."
Dynasty Warriors has been around for two decades and has more than enough games to prove it.
New Gamer Nation:
My introduction to the Dynasty Warriors series, well-known for its familiar hack-n-slash, one man versus army combat, occurred with one of the games spin-off titles, Samurai Warriors 4-2, a game that I recently played and thoroughly enjoyed due to the easy to get into mechanics and over the top kinetic combat and wonderful visual presentation on PS4. It made me an instant fan of the series and made me interested in seeking out future releases as well as other games in the genre. I really want to seek out and play the Zelda and Dragon Quest Warriors-like games now.

lemme guess its the exact same game again... lol
You can always tell when a critic only spent 10 minutes playing a DW game before reviewing it.
There ARE big changes in this game, and if you play it on a higher difficulty level it is NOT just hack-and-slash.
Also, the person that wrote this might want to check up on his history, the characters in this game are not semi-mythical. They were real people.
6.4? First of all, .4 is not a score. Don't care what anyone says. Acceptable scores end in whole numbers or .5s not .4.
Second, clearly not someone who is A)Into the series to begin with, and B)Actually gave the game any real chance.
DW8 is awesome. I'm loving the weapon element system because it can turn grunt officers into a problem if you have weapons that are at a disadvantage to the weapon your enemy is using. I love how DW3's system of saving officers in a stage will have that officer replace someone else in a later stage. I love how there are side stories but that you don't really know about them until you play through multiple times.
Basically, this game takes elements of DW3, DW5, DW7, and adds some totally new stuff as well. My biggest issue with it is the frickin' camera.
