Dear god... It's genuinely the worst game i've ever played. It's cringey, historically inaccurate, everyone "English" is 100% Irish, the graphics are worse than Dynasty warriors on the PS2, the voice acting is poor-it's all utterly ridiculous. Now this could all be forgiven if the game was fun, but it isn't in the slightest. All you need to do is keep the right trigger held and randomly press A, X, Y or hold RB and you can win everything.

Basically it's Dynasty Warriors Empire minus the tactics, fun gameplay and measured craziness.

2/10

And the 2 is for it's wacky character creator.
Anyone else braved this shit so far?

Yeah I have, I think the game play is pretty fun and that the terrible voice acting is just part of the joys.

I played it for the 360 before the remake and I think you need to have your eyes checked. The graphics aren't bad at all. In fact it's probably slightly better than DW's which lacks even the nicest of textures.

And if you're crying about historical inaccuracy and voice acting, look at who's making it. The entire point is to be slightly over the top with voice acting and things not go 100% the way you wanted. And Empires "tactics" are a face thing at that. At least in Bladestorm you actually feel like you can't just go through every single enemy and when whenever you feel like it.

And the AI, both friendly and enemy, actually make pushes to other places on the map. In DW they just sit back and you know you can win whenever you feel like it. Even on the harder difficulties.

As for the gameplay itself., it's supposed to mix unit tactics with it's other games. You can raise the same point in DW in that all you need to do to win is X, X, X, Y.

If you enjoy playing a shitty game from 2007 and are a masochist please download it. And make a fucked-up character. That aspect is 10/10

I don't think it's as bad as he's making it. It's made by the same guys who did Dynasty Warriors. What do you expect, Dark Souls?

Well I was expecting Dynasty.

I might play it. Eh, Voice acting is fine for me, I played those Resident Evils, cant get any more amazing worse  than that.

I wish it was Dynasty Warriors. It's painfully obvious that the game is originally 8 years old and tight on the budget front.

Except not at all. It's an old game that's just a remaster and the mechanics aren't bad. Neither are the graphics.

If you want DW, go play Empires 8, it just came out.
