This games ♥♥♥♥ing fun, but don't go into it thinking it will be difficult. Its one of those games where you pretty much mindlessly mash 2 buttons the whole game, that said its very fun to mash those buttons. The story in dynasty warriors is nothing special, and can be cheesy as hell at times, but it all adds to the charm of the game. If your looking for a game to sit back, relax, and kill a couple thousand goons, then this might be the game for you. If your looking for a game with challenge, a deep story, and photo realistic graphics, keep moving this isn't it.

It feels nice to beat swarms of enemies like they were made of sand, until you get to Lu Bu.

Purchased the game at 60% off (£15.99)

Pretty decent console port, glad to see there's VSync support and customizable key mapping. although there are some points to improve:

1. The game has 60fps framerate lock even if VSync is off
2. Pricing: DLC aside the base game cost £39.99 when the PS4 version costs only half as much, only worth buying during sales
3. Supports a maximum of 1080p, so QHD(1440p) and 4K users get potato quality graphics, still looks decent until you look close up.
4. Does not allow the use of a mouse(for camera control), the game is controller or keyboard only

The game is packed with contents, other people have said enough.

Like most gamers, I don't mind a good ole hack n slash every now and then, but it takes skill to develop basically the same game over and over again, and keep the franchise alive.

DW8XLCE does that in every sense of the word. Have you seen most of this ♥♥♥♥ before? Yes, yes you have. Is there new content? Some, not much admitedly, but some. Is it fun as heck? ♥♥♥♥ yeah it is. And for those of you who are as sad as I am/ don't mind some romancing, there is a very small, very fulfilling part of the game called Ambition mode where if you are a male/female lead character and you body guard with the oposite sex, you can play the waifu/husbando mini game. Granted, it aint much, but its still cheesy and great for those who want it (I know this wasnt its intent, but I did say I was sad).

Overall, a great game, and I'm looking forward to 9, also a good game to play when you're feeling down and want to mind numbingly wack a few thousand ♥♥♥♥♥es. Throwing knives break the game...

Gotta be honest, not being able to diagonally run is an issue. Keyboard and controller plug in have the clunky feel too it.
Love the dynasty stories so much, i get put off without smooth gameplay. I'd give it a 3/10.. Can't enjoy it like i want too!

Colorful, badass, and most important of all, FUN and ADDICTIVE.

Fans of history, myth, and/or Romance Of The Three Kingdoms will be drawn to the best known adaptation of Luo Guanzhong's 13th Century epic, cleverly expanded with hypothetical alternate outcomes to its storylines (admittedly they are confusing, and you've got to EARN them). Fans of arcade games will LOVE Challenge Mode and Free Mode, and should be able to pick up the controls pretty quick; fans of strategy will be drawn to Ambition Mode, although Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires obviously dishes out a true strategic experience.
The English dub of most NPC's might be a broken record and somewhat corny, quite a few player characters are done a lot more justice, especially the badass theatrics of icons like Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Guan Yu.

I do my homework on YouTube, and on various other sources such as PC Gamer before I buy my games, or ask for them for Christmas, or recommend them, having repeatedly been scorched. This entry in the Dynasty Warriors series is not only the best Christmas gift ever, it's also a great entry point for newer players to a great series.

A series of terrible updates and and non-support have made this game literally unplayable. Seriously, the game won't even open at this point. I'm on Windows 10, using an i7, with a 980ti, and an XBone controller- it won't even ♥♥♥♥ing open. ♥♥♥♥ this game.

I was so excited when the 16GB game was done downloading, only to find out I can't even play it. I did not notice when I bought the game, but who the hell makes a PC game with controller support only? Have to buy a controller now... Can't play with keyboard & mouse. AND WHY IS THE SO CALLED "COMPLETE EDITION" HAVE 100$ WORTH OF DLC???? BOOOOOOOO!!!!! NEVER BUYING KOEI GAMES AGAIN. EVER!

The gameplay looks like it might be great, but the controls are terrible for PC. This is a very bad port. All controls are either keyboard or you can program a controller. No mouse use.

If you have the console, I would recommend it on the console, but not on Steam.
