DW3 gave the hackandslash mechanic more brains and even better good looks. The games combined the strategic gameplay of old with more appreciable perks like combo systems, enormous quantities of unlockables, an understandable plot and some lovely visuals. What Xtreme Legends does is add seven new Musou scenario campaigns with new battlefield layouts one for each of the enemy characters unlocked in DW3 , four new challenge modes and various tweaks and gameplay additions, the most significant of which is probably customisable bodyguards.
Sanctum 2. You can also play through DW3 again with these new features after some disc swapping and memory card juggling. Our favourite is probably Balancing Act, in which you have to smack as many enemies off a small platform before you take the plunge; the others are Speed Demon a race to the finish line through waves of onrushing enemies and Combo Mania pretty self-explanatory.
Rocking Robin Uncensored. If you really want to get into Dynasty Warriors from scratch, then you might find yourself better off with a second-hand copy of Dynasty Warriors 3, which you can probably find for 15 quid.
However, what XL does not do is update the gameplay engine, which is now starting to show its age. These days though the problems seem a lot more acute, no doubt accentuated by the cheap and tacky feel of the interface, the atrocious voice acting and those beautiful screenshots of Dynasty Warriors 4. We also still find the camera to be rather, well, crap, as it refuses to align behind you unless you stop first and then hit the button, and the musical score is about as suitable as death metal is to a monastery.
As it's now usual this Xtreme Legends title of the Dynasty Warriors 4 title is another expansion to the original game. That being said this time they added more than in Dynasty Warriors 3 Xtreme Legends and made it more playable on its own without the need of the original game. Since Dynasty Warriors 4 is arguably one of the best games in the genre available for the PS2, the Xtreme Legends had a big responsibility to make something of the same level.
The issue with the Dynasty Warriors Xtreme Legends entries is that they can't be sequels nor entire games, but they have to add enough content to make it worth buying. So starting on the basics, they've tweaked and changed some small details and mechanics from the original game. But to play most of those, you'll also need to have the original game, so that's not saying much.
Well, there are some aspects where this game is more extreme than the original title, but it's not a completely new game as you already know, and that limits the amount of new content possible.
So, as far as the graphics and the visuals go, there are no updates or upgrades, the game looks exactly the same as it does on the normal version. This eliminates the need to quickly stop blocking, change direction, and press the guard button again.
Unlike previous games, horses can be found by obtaining saddles randomly dropped from boxes or beaten officers. These horses can gain levels, skills, and some can even change into the legendary Red Hare, although this is very rare. Musou Token which enables the use of Musou Rage have been removed. It is instead replaced by Tome item drop which allows the use of unique special attacks. There are five types of attacks; Swift Attack increases the player's stats , Volley launches waves of arrows , Fire sets eruptions of fire , True Speed boosts the player's speed , and Rockfall launches giant boulders from above.
Dueling from Dynasty Warriors 4 returns, but has been revamped; duels now take place on the battlefield and the nearby soldiers will circle around the two fighters, and other officers may jump into the circle, as opposed to the duel taking place in an arena that appears out of nowhere.
Bases have been altered too; they are bigger and where, before, in order to open the outer gate to a base, the player had to defeat a defense captain, now they must simply break it down with attacks. There is also a new corporal unit which guards bases. Defeating troops and corporals within the base reduces the base's defense. When the defense of the base drops to zero, the player has claimed the base.
However, defeating the corporal is worth defeating 20 troops while defeating the guard captain will automatically capture the base. Two new 'innovations' to the series are the abilities to swim and climb ladders. The ladder means that the player can now climb onto castle battlements in scenarios such as the Battle of Hu Lao Gate, and dispose of enemy ballistas and the new 'guard' unit.
The first ties in with the improvements to enemy AI, allowing them to travel across rivers and other bodies of water in order to attack you or allied bases. Swimming is now a part of scenarios such as the Battle of Fan Castle. The original game features a total of 41 playable characters, a step-down from previous installment in the series, which featured 48 playable characters.
Other than brief mentions in cutscenes and character biographies in-game, they otherwise do not make appearance in the game at all. Unlike previous games which featured Musou Modes for all characters, only seventeen of the playable characters received stories, while the others are playable only in Free Mode and Challenge Mode.
Dynasty Warriors 6: Special adds Musou Mode for six more characters, while the PSP port of the game adds Meng Huo back to the roster, bringing the character count to Popular user-defined tags for this product:. Is this game relevant to you? Sign In or Open in Steam.
