COG writes - Dynasty Warriors has long been known to be a staple KOEI title and with each new entry into the franchise they never waiver too much from their standard formula. At one point we have to wonder; Is the formula getting a bit stale?

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.
Full review by Cory Galliher on Popzara Press
These games always have been and always will be repetitive and boring, and you can see it in their review scores over the last decade. Kill this franchise already.
Actually, jumping into DW8XL after having not played since DW4, this game has come a fairly long way.
However, the increments were way too slow and I expect much more than how far they've come.
In fact, the AI is worse, and the enemies spawn/pop-in worse than on PS2.
When games like DMC, MGR, and Bayonetta innovate the genre by increasing combat options, it's sad to see Dynasty Warriors only be a little bit more complex than Final Fight 2.
