DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires focuses deeply on the chaotic lives

fall of the nations they bravely fight for. Players can select
from 83 unique characters, or create their own original
character with a plentitude of options through the edit
function. The visual customization goes further with the newly
implemented ability to customize their horses, banners and
"normal" officers.
In the returning Empire mode, players can select from one of
many distinct roles which are best suited to them or to
experience the epic history and its outcomes through a different
methodology of warfare in replay. Whether choosing from Liu Bei,
a provincial ruler forced to wander the land in search of a home
or Lu Bu, an egotistical warrior who moves from one betrayal to
another in search of his own glory, players are swept up in the
drama of warfare.
Courageous warriors trudge through Ancient China with its vast
plains, bleak wastelands, narrow ravines and immense castles as
they slash through enemy lines. In DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires,
warriors must fight against not only enemies but also the forces
of nature as the changing seasons bring new elements to the more
than 35 battlefields affected by seasons and the passing of
time.
