dynasty warriors 8 pc show controller prompts

Texture quality and graphical effects seem to be an odd mish-mash of PS3 and PS4 versions, with NPC textures looking especially embarrassing for a 2014 PC release. There’s much to appreciate about it: effortless numbers of soldiers on screen, solid 60fps at 1080p (assuming you have the specs for it) and the convenience of having a western-localised Dynasty Warriors on PC. Likewise, if you’re in my position and just haven’t played one in several years this PC release is, with a couple of caveats, a pretty great excuse to return.

If Dynasty Warriors 8 XLCE is your entry point into the series (and it absolutely can be, despite the high number involved,) that won’t be a problem. That, I think, is where the “it’s always the same!” complaint comes from. If you do that for 50-100 hours every single year, you’ll probably burn out.

Each installment does bring a few new things (characters, weapons, modes, combat systems, a quicker way to get on your horse,) but the main point will always be knocking 300 peasant soldiers in the air with a big halberd while high-treble guitar shredding wobbles your speakers. Just like an annual sports series, it’s wise not overdose on Dynasty Warriors. Dian Wei explains how Dynasty Warriors works.
