    Why bother porting the game if you aren't going to give basic PC functionality?

    No mouse support, doesn't even support right joystick for looking around on a gamepad...I couldn't motivate myself to even try to play it because the camera controls are such garbage. Not to mention the graphics look pretty much the same as the last 20 dynasty warriors games...do a little minor upgrade    Why bother porting the game if you aren't going to give basic PC functionality?

    if you like fighting games! Then DONT buy this! Because its more strategic than fighting. i want to choose my character and fight through the game. not buy recources and other stuff. this is the most booring dynasty game i ever played. i have played all empire games. i love empires 5 and 6. but this is just boring stratrategy ****

    Jesus Christ, the controls in this are awful. I would understand not having a controller that can be used reliably in the menu system if the game bothered to have decent keyboard/mouse support in battles, but it appears this game has the worst of both worlds in their port attempt. Who the heck wants to switch back and forth between controller and keyboard?

    Yet another massive failure in the Dynasty Warriors franchise.    … Expand

    I will try to describe this easily for DW fans: Total LACK of content.
    There s no strategy, no rpg part nothing and no story change or different cutscenes..
    If i'd have to describe the game i would define it as a demo or Alpha version of any other DW title due to lack of everything....imagine like playing only free mode removing battle events and you have what this game looks like.

    The strategic/rpg part is smoke in the eyes (its surprising how nothing will change in gameplay and since the game lacks cutscenes and story they won t affect it either).

    Get DW8XL it has ambition mode that alone is way deeper than the Whole DL Empires.    … Expand

    At the end of the day, Empires mode is arguably where the crux of the experience lies and as such it really does add a lot of crucial depth to a series that is regarded in many circles as a largely one-trick pony. It’s just a shame that similar evolutions aren’t forthcoming in other areas of the game which, some nearly fifteen years on, are now starting to look really quite old in the tooth.
