Just when you thought the warriors logo was finished...
User Rating: 9 | Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Empires X360
Along came dynasty warriors 5: empires. i didnt play the 4 version of empires, so this was an accepted change to the tedium of dynasty warriors. i loved how many unlockable there are in thsi game and its that, that makes the liefspan so long. Normal dynasty warriors (DW) games featured the same storyline and characters in the same situations but this one allows you to build an elite team of all of the best ones and send them into one, catastrophic battle. the troop count for each general can reach 200,000 at max level, but i dont understand this because there is in no way that many men on the battlefield, if there was your xbox would commit suicide. There are one or two new maps i believe but not much to class it as a new game. as i understand, you have access to level 5 and even level 6 weapons, however ive never seen these so dont trust me fully on that. the game also allows you to play as any named officer, even those ones that have no unique appearance, so there are more styles of fighting to explore. the strategy period on the main game work well as you can forge alliances and declare wars and stuff.
For some reason though the game does not exceed the chi bi part of dynasty warriors, meaning such periods later on like wu zhang plains (Or whatever it is) are missed out.
