DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires

Highly recommended if you love roleplaying and creating your own adventure/story. One of my most wonderful experiences is creating a Malay mercenary (via character creator), and then joining up with Dong Zhuo, participating in near endless conflicts. Sometimes attacking, sometimes defending, all round chaos. Heck, I even became best buds with the big tyrant himself (Dong Zhuo) and battle bros with Lu Bu and Hua Xiong. As the wars waged on, I even met the icy beauty that is Wang Yi, and needless to say, love can truly blossom even in the midst of pandemonium. Tian Shui, and the lands around Liang were quite the romantic spot. All in all, I'm having a blast Its not as challenging as Elden Ring nor is it as in-depth in its mechanics or overall lore and ambience, and it doesn't even have a unifying theme to tie it all together. Plus the relationship mechanics are pretty limited (unlike Fire Emblem and equivalent games), and require you to use your imagination and other alternatives extensively to make it more impactful. Yet what's here is solid and fun. Also, you can design Makima with the character editor, so have fun wooing the Control Devil. I know I did.

DW8E is better. It has more diverse customization, and kingdoms aren't nearly as tedious to manage. There are some nice mechanics changes here, like actual weapon customization and upgrades carrying over to other playthroughs, but the base gameplay loop itself is very frustrating because you're constantly being invaded with low manpower.

good

It’s honestly a beautiful and enjoyable game however I felt like it was a bad version of fifa The graphics and gameplay feel outdated for a game released in 2021 it’s honestly gives me the vibe that I’m playing a game from 2011 It’s also missing a lot when it comes to gameplay, dialogue, story, and choices. Before playing it, i expected to be able to travel between cities with my character on horseback, talk to generals in each city, build relationships with them, have some scenes with them, and try to work my way toward the throne I had so many other expectations and ideas in my head, but the reality was disappointing. It’s basically just making a few choices, and then the month ends Overall, if you’re thinking about buying this game, don’t expect anything amazing it’s simply an enjoyable game that you can play to pass the time

Do not buy this game. You have no control over save files and trying to locate them is a nightmare from hell, Not sure why this game is absolutely horrible compared to the other but stay away.

Extremely good Game i love it i love the open world vibe
