You pick your character (from the usual, massive range), and the battleground, and away you go. A timeline features a chronological order of all the battles in the game. Xtreme Legends goes back to an older style. Each battle you’d be put in control of an important figurehead from that battle, and this structure achieved two things – it gave you a different experience in each battle from the different characters, and it allowed for the most cohesive storytelling in the Warriors series to date. In that game you’d follow the fortunes of one of the four dominant factions of the Three Kingdoms era of ancient China, from the beginning (Yellow Turban rebellion) right through to the (usually presented as bitter-sweet) end. The biggest departure for Xtreme Legends is that it does away with the storytelling style of Dynasty Warriors 7. Largely, that’s because it’s barely more than a DLC package for the already-brilliant Dynasty Warriors 7, but more of a good thing is still worthwhile. Of all these, Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends is probably the least stand-out and low-key release of all. This year alone has seen multiple Dynasty Warriors games, a Warriors game focused on ancient Troy, a RPG-hybrid of the formula in Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll a Samurai Warriors game on the Nintendo 3DS console, and there’s a mash up of them all on the way in the dark fantasy-themed Warriors Orochi 3. It’s a good time to be a fan of Tecmo Koei’s Warriors games.
