The Variors Dynasty is a popular Japanese series of beat'em up games. The franchise is different in that it has a lot of branches and license plates. Some of them are slightly different from each other, but this does not stop fans of such games from enjoying the gameplay. This article details and features of Dynasty Warriors.
Classic parts
To get started, it is recommended to go to the classics of the Variors Dynasty, and then pay attention to more modern parts.
At the moment, the series has more than 10 different games, most of which are connected by plot and characters. The first part of Dynasty Warriors was released in 1997 on PC, PlayStation, PSP and Nintendo DS platforms. The action was released by a development studio called Omega Force together with publishers from Koei. Initially, the action was a cross between a third-person tactical game and hack'n'slash. The main part of the gameplay was occupied by endless battles with samurai, warriors and significant figures of the fictional Japanese universe. In the subsequent parts of the Variors Dynasty, the concept of ordinary fighting game was slightly moved away. To this day, these games are the most successful from the Koei developers.
All Dynasty Warriors license plate games have 8 parts at the time of 2018. Starting from the second part, developers adhere to the same concept. An interesting and confusing plot is taken as the basis. For example, often the creators take the works of Japanese authors. The game is divided into missions in which you have to fight with enemy troops, destroy their commander. Despite the simple and monotonous goal, the passage of the stages is constantly different, because sometimes the player has to figure out for himself what the game wants from him.
New game in the series
At the moment, you can get acquainted with the extreme game Dynasty Warriors 8, which was released in 2013 on the previous generation consoles. It was here that the players were waiting for the biggest changes in the series. It is necessary to consider them in more detail.
Innovations
The developers mentioned that the artificial intelligence in the game "Variety Dynasty 8" is completely redesigned. This means that the battles will become more difficult, and the tactics of battles must be built more thoroughly. The plot of the game is based on the novel "Three Kingdoms" from the Chinese writer Luo Guanzhong. The set of key characters and their individual missions has also been expanded.
In some aspects, the game is back to basics. For example, the old character leveling system was returned, and the weapon change system from Dynasty Warriors 7 was also refined.
New modes
Now you can try your hand at story, free and ambition modes. The first two are already familiar to fans of the series:
- In story mode, you have to complete missions for each of the characters in the novel.
- Free mode allows you to play any battles in random order with any heroes and troops.
But Ambition Mode is an innovation. Here the player must capture the provinces of China, improve his own palace. We can say that this mode resembles a career in any strategy.
