I enjoy the relatively steady flow of its management portions, but the combat and making good use of strategems to capture bases and survive is where it's really at. My favorite Empires title is Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires. However , that's mainly because the whole Empires formula adds some extra layers of complexity to something otherwise disappointing on a deep, spiritual level to anyone who's been playing the Dynasty Warriors series for a long time. You may notice below that I've given Empires a 4 out of 10, an entire point higher than what I gave DW9. Some may consider that a win, but it is roughly just as bad as vanilla Dynasty Warriors 9. Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires Review: Just Say Noĭynasty Warriors 9 Empires is not worse than the base game. There was nowhere for it to go but up from the base game. Despite how much I dislike Dynasty Warriors 9, I've still spent over 90 hours in the thing.īeing a glutton for punishment, I was cautiously optimistic about Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires. It is an ill-conceived attempt at bringing the series into the modern era via a barren open world with combat even less satisfying than previous entries.

But my disdain for Dynasty Warriors 9 is reasonably well-documented.
