This makes each playthrough unique as events will play out differently based what actions take place and the alternate alliances that are formed. Whether this is creating a Vagabond unit and eventually trying to become Emperor, or siding with another kingdom to help them reunify China, there are multiple ways to approach the campaign. Selecting either a created character or one of the hundreds of historically influenced Chinese figures, the game puts you on a path to make a mark in history. Right from the get-go it can be very discouraging if you haven’t played any of the previous game before. Similar to what we’ve come to expect from the spin-off series, Empires doesn’t tell a story, but rather establishes your own lineage in Chinese history.

Some are incredibly useful and flow perfectly with combat, while others feel out of place and seem more appropriately equipped to some of the whackier enemies. It’s not knocking the wide variety, but rather the functionality of a few of the weapons. Even with a massive arsenal and hundreds of techniques at your disposal, once a single move set becomes familiar with, anything other than that will be foreign to the player. The Square and Triangle buttons will be your best friends with the more than occasional Circle button coming into play. If you’ve played a Dynasty Warriors game in the past, know that there isn’t a drastic change in the formula. Explore historical figures and events while rewriting history as you see fit.
