Experience the thrill of one versus thousands in an all new open world setting with DYNASTY WARRIORS 9, the latest installment in the series!

・A New Open World Warriors Game
For the first time in the series, the expansive land of China is shown on a single map with the introduction of an open world format for diverse progression through the game. The 'one vs. thousands' exhilarating action of the Warriors series and the beloved characters from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms tale are carried over, but the freedom through an open world stage provides a brand new Warriors experience.

Key Missions unfold and progress the story of the player character, and are supplemented by numerous missions from various regions such as Regular Missions that affect the Key Missions and requests from other characters. The situation will be ever changing depending on what missions are selected. In the many battles that occur on the map, players will find a variety of strategies and tactics open to them such as "attacking head on," "launching a surprise attack from an elevated position" or "infiltrating at night", for numerous ways to enjoy the expansive world of the Three Kingdoms.

The map is displayed with beautiful graphics and features many different regions of China such as snow plains, jungles and deserts which reflect the passage of time and changing climate. Key cities and checkpoints, such as Luoyang and Hulao Gate, and landmarks such as the Yellow River and Mt. Song, are replicated, allowing for deeper immersion into the game world.

・A Redefined Action System
The new State Combo System reacts and responds to the surrounding conditions, building up on the base Warriors action system. The three core elements are: "Flow Attacks" that change depending on an enemy's state; "Reactive Attacks" that optimally adapt to situations; and "Trigger Attacks" that change an enemy's state.

The addition of Interactive Action allows players to take advantage of the surrounding terrain and environment. In addition to climbing mountains and swimming across rivers, using grappling hooks to climb walls and launching fire arrows into oil barrels to induce explosions are among the new actions for broader strategic gameplay.

・The epic tales from the Three Kingdoms through the eyes of new and returning officers
Experience the Three Kingdoms story woven through a vast roster of characters. Seven new officers (Cao Xiu, Man Chong, Xun You, Cheng Pu, Xu Sheng, Zhou Cang, Xin Xianying) have been added for a total of 90 playable characters; all 83 officers from the Dynasty Warriors series return, with new costumes.

We have played this franchise for several generations backward, and Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have decided to try something new with the "Dynasty Warriors 9". In this latest review of the war of the three epic realities, developers have chosen an adventure in an open world in which players can explore ancient China and participate in key battles and witness the crucial moments of a significant era.

If you are a veteran of "Dynasty Warriors" games in any respect, you will notice the familiar elements of the story. Either way, an open world for one player is full of surprises, depending on how you watch it. Only its existence adds a lot of unprecedented shades of gaming, most of which are optional. However, in this part of "Dynasty Warriors," there is much more that you can do than any previous part, and the game also attracts players by having a large number of RPG elements.

Ready Set Hunt!

You will be caressing, lying, cooking and collecting things. Every secondary shootout happens for resources. The items you collect, the animals you hunt and the fish you catch will allow you to make objects and weapons; Cooking meals improves your skills and gives you the chance to earn XP. Of course, you do not have to do any of this to progress through the game. These activities are there only to build your character, and your concern can depend on the campaign and the stories of the person you choose. However, if all these additions were measured on an RPG scale, they would not be worth much because everything is largely lacking in comprehensiveness. Every secondary task is nothing more than going to an object, unless it's about helping your allies get to the main campaign in the campaign. Those who give you tasks and goals themselves are nothing special, nothing worth remembering. They are here to get XP points, prey and (in some cases) to help you learn about the world and how it works. Each side trip serves to help you prepare for great battles.

Then, there is a research, a function that is almost completely new in this franchise. In the typical "Warriors" game, you never really stop to look around. In "Dynasty Warriors 9", the game itself invites you to do just that. When you feel you need a break from fighting and collecting items, you can deal with the viewing of rich environments. Since all of China is accessible to you, you will find yourself in different environments. However, although the open world is relatively beautiful, do not expect to present China in its true light. At first glance, your environment within the game is worth the research. The more you study it, you will be less interesting until you find a new ecosystem. The size of the world in "Dynasty Warriors 9" is, however, impressive, and Omega Force deserves applause for making the world that so easily fits the rural, mountainous and bamboo forest areas. What simply misses the game is less blurry frames.

The Three Kingdoms

Improved graphics can be seen where needed - characters look great. They're not perfect, but they're great. Particular attention has been devoted to the details of all our three Kingdoms heroes. We can very easily say that the characters have the most details in the whole game, and if you are a veteran of the fractions, this can provide you with real pleasure. What makes the game even more impressive is the size of the character set. Developers have once again expanded the list, so the game now has over 83 unique characters. Even worth mentioning to soldiers too. Though you will massacre hundreds, if not thousands, of the same faces, we can not deny that their models have been upgraded, especially with regard to armor that very well reflects the illumination of the world. These details help you forget everything else during the fight, and, to be honest, fighting is what counts. Fighting the "Dynasty Warriors 9" will compensate for some of the gaps in the game. Bending between Lui Bei, Lu Bu, and Zhou Yu, we noticed sharp animations and unique sets of movements, all of which have the same purpose: killing waves by the wave of enemy hulls.

In addition, developers have expanded the battle from previous parts by implementing new stunts, bumps, and counter-attacks. Counterattacks function as in Arkham Rocksteady games, but this similarity to this game ends. When you start killing your enemies, each ability can ease chain combinations of attacks and flowing movements that seem to last for an entire eternity, and in the middle of a thrilling sea of martial arts, you will discover the soul of this game. You may also notice that the sound design is different for each weapon. If it's blunt, the feedback is dull, and if it's a sword, you'll hear the sound of metal, and so on.

Is that your voice Oh brave warrior?!

However, the sound is another problem in the "Dynasty Warriors 9".I am not talking about the ambiance of the environment or the conflict of soldiers, but i am specifically referring to the lending of votes. "Dynasty Warriors 9," tells your story by interlacing the inserts and dialogs in real time (preferring insert). For both of you, you will frown on the characters and their choice of dialogue. This is a joke full of surprises because behind some of the heroes there are good actors, and behind some of them not really. In many unfortunate cases, decisive warriors will excite threats in a faint voice. This is not helped even by the fact that some parts of the written dialogue are simply poor. However, if i need to sort out a good versus bad dialogue, i would say that dialogue, taking into account everything, can pass.

The fact is that "Dynasty Warriors 9" functions as an experiment. This is Omega Force's first attempt to make an open world title, and although every aspect of this game is not great, it still represents a package that provides more where it needs and which, in its essence, retains and improves the original H & S (Hack & Slash) experience. When i found myself in a situation that some of my tasks were dead, i would have skipped it and headed straight to the battlefield. Since boring parts are mostly optional, they are not completely negative. At the same time, i was completely impressed when i realized that all the items you collect and all the sites you discover stay in one place between the campaigns, between the characters, and between the kingdoms. The continuity resulting therewith facilitates progression and allows players to easily approach the main aspect of the game: campaign campaigns, the completion of which allows access to unique characters on the huge list.
