Again KT dropped the ball with this. There was so much fucking potential for an open world empires game but they just shit the bed.

This is on par with 7 empires but I would say better. The customization is top tier and arguably the best for the series. While the Empires system for some reason isn't as good as 7 the combat makes up for it.

One of the best empires games for DW. 8 has the better combat sure but strictly speaking for the Empires aspect DW7 takes the cake. The cutscenes when a powerful opponent like Gan Ning or Zhang Liao appeared made the interactions dope.

This is how DW6 should be experienced, NOT with strikeforce. This was a big improvement on the empires system in comparison to 5 and as one who didn't despise the combat system the game was really fun.

FUCK the 11* weapons
The only thing I remember from XL was getting the final weapons. Now even though getting them was hard af I would like KT to atleast bring back some of this difficulty.
Ma Chao and Zhang Liao.....

I'll never forget when I first booted this game. Seeing my boi jump off a bridge with Ling Tong easily made me hyped for the experience. Though I'm still sad that the soundtrack was weak for me the gameplay and content more than made up for it.

As this was the first Empires game in the series I'll cut it a bit of slack, HOWEVER, due to the fact the game already had character customization the empire part of it really wasn't that special. Also, having played this after all the other empires games didn't make the experience any better.

For the attempt I won't fault KT to hard but they really dropped the ball on the execution.
There was a lot of potential with DW9 but with the clones, the english VA, the barebone maps, as well as how empty the world was it sadly didn't reach the heights KT was expecting. With DWX I wouldn't mind if they stayed the open world route and simply improved but I also wouldn't mind them going back to the roots.

For the modern DW experience this is undoubtedly the best

I view DW7 not as a pure hack and slash(comparatively speaking) but as a story based action game. No other DW title did as good of a job with the story as DW7. The ending cutscene with Jin is PHENOMENAL.

Despite the community hating DW6 the game is nowhere near as bad as some say. KT decided to do something different and switch up the formula and the PS2 version is the superior version with fewer clones. The soundtrack is also better than 5's so there's the added bonus.

After replaying it I see why the community claims it's the best but the soundtrack just isn't as good as 4. Cao Pi's alt outfits are also not as good as they should've been.

Say what you will about 5 but 4 is better simply because of the soundtrack fight me. KT bring back River Master

The beginning of my love for this series. Bring back my river master KT

Undoubtedly one of the best warrior experiences of all time. The chances of KT ever doing something like this are unlikely.
