The graphical style of the game is gloriously over the top, with armour matched only in its pomposity by gruff, barked clichés regarding "honour" and "ambition" and soldiers battering around below the commanders, shouting over the wail of electric guitar. "I'm Massive and Chinese!"Įmpires is set in feudal China, as are all the other games in the series, and charges you with the task of conquering the entire nation - which is broken into 24 separate regions - by being fantastically violent with melee weapons and indulging in some fairly basic strategy.Īfter selecting the difficulty level, the player in Empire mode is then greeted to a cut-scene that shows off his three generals.
However, world's colliding in Empires provides a more rounded version of both the fighter and the chess-like stratagems of the latter in one average whole. Koei's Dynasty series has dabbled, largely successfully, with two strategy titles in the guise of Dynasty Tactics and a sequel. We're seriously okay for Burnout F1 and Bangaio Cricket, thanks.īut here we are with Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires, a fusion of the famed mass 3D combat of previous Dynasty Warriors titles and a Risk-style strategy element. Problems arise when, four or five games in, there's an apparent need to mix things up to keep the cash registers ringing.
Dynasty Warriors lets you mow down dozens of opponents in 3D with various weapons and makes your little heart pop through your shirt like no other game can. Bangaio lets you shoot things with a near-religious perfection. Burnout works because it lets you crash cars brilliantly. Many classic games succeed simply because they do one thing very well.
