This isn’t even saying anything about the audience Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is meant to cater to on the Xbox One. However, in many ways, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires epitomizes the somewhat questionable approach taken by Japanese developers in “remastering” their older titles. It’s meant to bring a strategy/RPG/management bent to the proceedings, giving some sort of volume to the mindless, repetitive third person hacking and slashing. For those confused on how it differs from vanilla Dynasty Warriors 8 (we’re not even going to attempt to explain how it’s different from previous numbered entries), Empires functions as an expansion of the core experience.

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires on the Xbox One is an extremely disappointing port.
