If you’ve played one Dynasty Warriors title, you’ve pretty much played them all. While some may find the Musou genre repetitive and boring after a short while, I’ve always enjoyed the thrill of conquering entire battlefields as a lone warrior and leading troops to victory. Racking up insane combos, unleashing devastating special attacks and unlocking powerful weapons and equipment are just a few of my favorite aspects of the Warriors games. Having never played any of the spinoff Empires games, I didn’t quite know what to expect, but after spending some quality time with Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires I’ve come away very impressed. If you’ve ever played a Warriors game and wanted to do more than simply hack and slash across the battlefield, this is for you.

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.
