Having been introduced to the series by Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires and even fully platinum’ing the game, both the satisfying hack-n-slash gameplay elements combined with increasing levels of strategic elements have really appealed to me over the years. The sixth Empires spin-off game released in the Dynasty Warriors franchise, these chapters are less about presenting the narrative of the warring Three Kingdoms and more about giving players the chance to influence the events to lead to a different outcome in uniting China, or even introducing new characters into the mix via an extensive character editor. With technical issues aplenty and an overall meh gameplay experience despite some ambitious new concepts, the delay between this and the usual array of spin-off releases indicated that they were focusing on the game’s core issues and potentially headed to a hypothetical Dynasty Warriors 10.Īlas, here we are in February 2022, with Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires being released digitally and physically in western markets. But in recent years, arguably one of their biggest letdowns was Dynasty Warriors 9 (2018), the latest flagship instalment of the iconic Dynasty Warriors franchise. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity proved to be a competent prequel to Nintendo’s hit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. At the same time, Persona 5 Strikers took what made the Persona series great and adapted it perfectly into the 1 vs 1000 hack ‘n’ slash playstyle the studio is best known for.

Over the last few years, Omega Force has collaborated with several other development companies to create, arguably, some of the best games in their library to date.
