Gregg Giddens of This is Xbox writes, "Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires hasn’t changed much from its previous iteration but the changes and new additions do improve the experience for the most part. Things like the new customisation options for your horse, banner and troops are great for personalising your experience, but unfortunately poor visuals with low detail, ugly textures and objects/enemies popping into existence, are off-putting and disappointing. However, the series has never been visually stunning and a smooth, fast frame rate despite the hive of on-screen activity is perhaps worth the visual banality. And It is still fun but if the strategy aspect doesn’t appeal to you then the fun is going to dry up fast. Otherwise it’s another good but predictable entry in a series that hasn’t evolved enough."
"We’ve covered Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires on PS3 and so I’ll be describing the Vita-centric features so you can decide which platform offers the best experience for the game." - Rice Digital
Alec writes "In my last post I gave my opinion on the easiest Xbox One game completions of 2015 and now it’s time to go to the other end of the spectrum by taking a look at the top 5 most difficult and/or longest game completions from the same year. Seriously, these games have some extremely annoying and tricky achievements so you’ll need to be prepared for a massive grind to 100% them."
A mobile Dynasty Warriors 8 that's the complete experience - minus some choppiness and technical glitches.
