![]() ![]() Legend Mode offers plenty of replay value for fans.It’s not as if they bring anything new to the table but with two new weapon types and new narrative strands to follow, their inclusion is notable, not to mention the return of classic battlegrounds, stretching back as far as Dynasty Warriors 3. Having been expelled from both Dynasty Warriors 6 and its successor, Wei general Pang De makes a return with twin halberds in tow along with Wang Yi and Guo Jia, adding to the already colossal playable roster. It goes without saying that the core content on offer is irredeemably lacklustre, though there are a few inclusions here and there that prevent Dynasty Warriors 7 Xtreme Legends from being a total disaster. With four fairly unimaginative, re-cycled challenges on offer such as Arena, Speed Run and Bridge Melee, realistically, you’re not going to spend more than 30 minutes in this part of the game. If Legend Mode doesn’t take your fancy, Challenge Mode isn’t likely to either.

With a handful of allied generals your objective is always the same: keep killing until you slaughter your way to the enemy main camp and then kill some more, doing away with the engaging narrative focus and mid-battle twists that made Dynasty Warriors 7’s Story Mode compelling. Unlike 7’s Conquest Mode, a huge map portioned into dozens of small-scale encounters, in Legend Mode the battles are fierce with a staggering number of enemy grunts and officers to hack through. The stronghold serves as a hub, a small area in which you can barter with merchants, upgrade weapons, and scroll through the list of available battles. Straight out of the gate you will have access to every officer, Legend Mode requiring you to select one warrior as your playable avatar and the other as Adjutant, essentially your second in command. ![]() On paper it sounds like a meaningful timesink for Dynasty Warriors fans, but ultimately fails to deliver such a level of intrigue in its execution. Here players are tasked with restoring a dilapidated stronghold to its former glory by winning battles and developing its facilities, eventually rebuilding it to such a state that the emperor himself comes to visit. 7XL’s biggest contribution to the series is Legend Mode. ![]()
