    My conclusion about "Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires" is rather mixed. So I'm always happy when a new part of the series is released for the consoles. Since I always hope for new ideas and great graphics. But "Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires" doesn't have many new elements to offer. So I like the somewhat more tactical Empires mix of the series, but in principle I could have just put one of theMy conclusion about "Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires" is rather mixed.

But "Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires" doesn't have many new elements to offer. So I like the somewhat more tactical Empires mix of the series, but in principle I could have just put one of the predecessors in the drive. Of course, there are also new action and editing options in the game. From a technical point of view, the title looks rather weak for the new console generation. If you want to play the latest part "Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires" on your console or PC, you'll experience huge Far Eastern mass battles and the technology doesn't quite play along.… Expand

    Despite some good decisions in its unique elements, Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is a game quite limited by its basic structure, which becomes repetitive very quickly. It's easy to have fun with it, but there are better options available within the franchise.

    Alas, there's nothing to recommend Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires. DW9 is probably one of the lower points of the franchise, and what Empires does to improve on it is fairly minimal. There's absolutely no reason to buy it over the bucketload of better Warriors titles available on the PS5. Even if you're looking for something in the same setting, there are plenty of other Dynasty Warriors options. The most positive thing I can say is that it's a better game than the original, but it's an easy one to skip with so many other titles available.

    The newest entry brings traditional gameplay with usual strategy elements, but the welcome additions are better graphics and faster loadings on next-gen consoles.
