Based on Luo Guanzhong's famous historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Dynasty Warriors series is understandably adored in the east, and continues to carve a profitable niche for publisher Koei overseas. While the changes to this latest edition are unlikely to expand the cult audience much further, fans will delight at the richest and most visually impressive title in the series to date.
It's empowering on the lower difficulties, allowing you to easily slice through swathes of enemies with swords, rapiers and axes, but harder levels require a more tactical approach to conflict. With myriad skirmishes occurring simultaneously across the battlefield, players must decide which are the most strategically and territorially important to fight. Detractors may bemoan the seemingly repetitive nature of the combat, but the simple controls make the game accessible to less skilled gamers, while the ever-shifting balance of power on the higher-difficulty settings ensures encounters are anything but monotonous.
With four lengthy campaigns to master, developer Omega Force certainly hasn't skimped on content, while the new Conquest mode allows wannabe generals to rewrite Chinese military history. It may never win over its critics, but Dynasty Warriors 7 marks a significant step forward for this underrated series.
