Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a lengthy and complicated epic that can be tricky to keep up with, particularly when Omega Force start importing characters from other games and mixing things up. For those who already own the original game, it is a beefy expansion pack that improves on an already fine instalment. For newcomers, this represents a hugely generous entry point that provides probably the best way to acquaint one’s self with an intimidatingly huge library of games. Japanese fans have already been playing it for a while (it was a launch title for the PS4 out in the East) but this is the first time we’ve got our hands on 8: Xtreme Legends.
Just as Spring follows Winter – or in our case, brief sunny interludes and cold follow months of torturous flooding – any Dynasty Warriors game is followed by an Xtreme Legends pseudo-sequel/spinoff, and numero ocho is no exception. Roll your eyes all you want at the fact that there are now something like fifty roaming fighters all hewn from the same hack and slash template, but the last time we checked in, Tecmo Koei delivered in spades – a ton of modes, new fighting mechanics, more characters than an East End boozer, and improved aesthetics all round. Omega Force really stepped up to bat for their wonderfully ludicrous franchise on the last couple of canonical Dynasty Warriors games.
