The Dynasty Warriors-series has many tactical elements to spruce up the hack 'n' slash gameplay, as you might guess from the tactical map, allied bases and a morale system, among other things. Fortunately the numerous glitches allow a speedrunner to subvert the intended schedule of each level more often than not, so it all works out in the end.

Too linear and scripted level design is usually bad for speedrunning. The linear design serves as an interesting contrast to Dynasty Warriors 6, where you could break down the gates of enemy garrisons and generally go wherever you wanted at any time. The player is kept out of many important locations with gates, boulders or other obstacles until it's the right time to go there. You can't freely choose your character during Story-mode and the level design itself is generally pretty railroaded and scripted. Still, the amount of grinding you need to do is more manageable than in most games of the series.ĭynasty Warriors 7 is a more linear, story-heavy experience than the previous games in the series. To do NG+ runs you need to grind some end game equipment first, which is a drag.It doesn't help that any mistakes are usually costly.

RNG is a big factor in some levels, especially when you use the so-called Wuxia-glitch.All the main glitches have a precise timing and you're sometimes under a time limit to get them done. The game is more technically challenging and complex than you'd expect.
