What you get out of this definitive version of Dynasty Warriors 8 will be based on how entrenched you are within the series’ roots. If charging through wave after wave of nameless bad guys is your thing, you will have no shortage of things to do in the aptly named Complete Edition. Five additional characters join the roster (bumping up the total count to 82), new “What If?” scenarios have been added-and all of this is in addition to the numerous modes and unlockables already available in the original game. Challenge mode brings a couple unique time-attack activities to the mix, allowing you to submit scores to an online leaderboard, awarding you with new weapons upon success.
Now, he gets his own multi-level, several-hour-long story mode to plow your way through-though you’ll likely have no idea what’s going on unless you are well versed in Dynasty Warriors’ labyrinthine narrative. The menacing figure from Dynasty Warriors 8 was relegated to a background role that got a few special missions if you found a way to unlock them. The two most obvious additions are the inclusion of Lu Bu’s own special campaign and a special challenge mode.
