Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires - Free Alliances Version

About

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires Free Alliances Version is a trimmed-down entry in the strategy RPG series. It lets you take part in Invasion and Defensive battles through Free Mode with limited units and scenarios. Online multiplayer connects you with players who own the full retail version. Save files from this free version can be transferred to the retail game if you decide to upgrade. The focus here is on tactical combat and base management without the full game’s story mode or expanded content. It works on PS3, PS4, and Vita with a 2015 release date. While it’s a scaled-back version, the ability to move saves into the retail game adds value for those planning to buy the full edition later. No major ratings data exists, but longtime fans may see this as a low-risk way to test the waters.
