Chen carries around a summoning scroll and by performing various combos, he summons soldiers to perform hits for him. Chen Gong steals the show as easily one of the most absurd, yet fun to play characters of all time. Zhu Ran is a bow wielder, much like Sun Shangxiang from Dynasty Warriors 6, but with a lot more crowd control. While I didn't particularly love all of them, two stood out as my personal favorites. There are five characters to add to the roster - one for each of the five main Kingdoms - bringing the total to 82. You can play as him right away from the beginning, and in his own, albeit short, Story missions. That's right, no longer will you be forced to go through grueling exercises just to unlock him and wreak havoc on your enemies. First and foremost, one of the biggest and best surprises is the addition of an all new Story scenario, featuring everyone's favorite badass, Lu Bu. In this review, I want to focus on what new features players can expect. If you want to get to the nitty gritty of what Dynasty Warriors 8 is all about, you can head on over to the official review.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Complete Edition follows this trend of accessibility but also turns everything up to 11, with more characters, more stages, more scenarios, better visuals and even more devices you can enjoy it on. Those stupid enemies that circle strafed you and were too scared to poke you with their spears turn deadly when you turn the difficulty up a notch. It's one of those games that you can ask your family member to play with you, and with minimal knowledge of it, they can have a blast. To call Dynasty Warriors one of the most accessible games in history might be an overstatement, but there is a reason why we keep seeing sequel after sequel of Chinese Dynasties going against each other in spectacular warfare.
