What players say

Make sure you keep a copy of the save files. Probably the only playable version of any DW game on steam, with a tonne of content to go through. Crazy thing is. this was the ps3 version port rather than the ps4 generation port so it looks bad even for a game released in 2014 on pc. You have to wrestle with the controller settings also.

This is the apex of classic dynasty warriors. the amount of DLC stages, characters, weapons, animals, and extras is insane, giving you hundreds of hours of fun hack and slash stress relief replay value. Perfect for die hard fans, but also a good starting point for people new to the series.
