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.
