Post Description

Dynasty Warriors 7 aims to be a much more story-driven, historically accurate experience this time, and this is evidenced in just how many changes have been made to the traditional formula in order to accommodate a cohesive narrative. Vague cutscenes that only mean something to people who have read Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms are a thing of the past!

The game's Story Mode boasts four faction-based campaigns -- one each for Wei, Wu, Shu and the new kingdom of Jin. Unlike previous titles, where you pick your own characters to participate, Story Mode puts you in the shoes of a variety of generals, each stage specifically tailored to their particular exploits. While it takes getting used to, the change in characters makes for a more compelling story, as it details the history of the entire kingdom and the warriors that helped shaped it in a more detailed, structured way. 

The story is surprisingly engaging too, at least if you have an interest in ancient China. Omega Force has crafted a relatively faithful story, with characters dying at their appointed times, and battles unfolding pretty much how they did according to legend. While the narrative won't give your average BioWare title a run for its money, it's a definite step up for the series, with four stories that are worth following.
