Of course, on the tin, it really is the same old tale with a few added tweaks to boot. Of all the entries Omega Force has flushed out from the Dynasty Warriors domain - the eighth chapter still ranks the best among fans and hack and slash lovers. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was back - and it was looking even more spectacular than ever. However, Omega somehow managed to pull something out of the bag when developing their 2011 instalment, with the game going on to become one of the most respected in all the series. Of course, resurrecting a decaying series isn’t something every developer can do with ease - especially with the last chapter receiving quite the number of harsh critiques. Fast-forward to 2011, however, and the tale was once again itching to be told. Long story short - Dynasty Warriors retreated from the public eye in 2007. After shovelling sequences into the barrel for nearly a decade, the chain was beginning to take a sharp turn, with critics growing weary of the same content Omega tried so desperately hard to grovel down their throats. But having said all that, what are the best chapters in the series? Well, let’s take it from the top.įollowing on from the rather underwhelming launch of Dynasty Warriors 6, Omega Force looked to pull the plug and take a well-deserved hiatus from the hack and slash series. And we’re okay with that, weirdly enough. As for Dynasty Warriors, though, Omega Force keep the franchise bustling through a best-selling formula that refuses to dry up. Each of these tales brings a similar style of gameplay to the table, only with a fresh take on characters and backstories.

But does that stop us from filling the shoes of the three rival factions and conquering China with each entry? No, no it doesn’t. Apart from that, the Warriors timeline has essentially been telling the beloved tale of the Three Kingdoms for almost twenty-five years. Well, in ways, that is kind of true, seeing as Omega Force really only make a few tweaks to the mechanics with each passing instalment. Dynasty Warriors: if you’ve played one - you’ve played ’em all.
