Story Is New
In previous entries, the story always felt either pushed aside or treated as a simple backdrop for the action. Dynasty Warriors Godseekers fixes this problem and weaves a tale that involves both the various warring factions and a mystical being only known as Lixia. The plot revolves around two childhood friends, Lei Bin and Zhao Yun, who discover an unknown woman trapped in a massive crystal pillar. Upon freeing her, the duo learns that five magical orbs have been released into the world and need to be returned before devastation is brought upon ancient China.
However, Lei and Zhao will need to navigate the dangerous political landscape between the various armies that are fighting for control of China. Generals such as Cao Cao and Lu Bu use the protagonists to further their agenda, without diving to harshly into simply being good or bad. Dynasty Warriors Godseekers is much more about the gray areas and what some people will do to obtain the power and vision they believe in.
This centralized narrative helps Dynasty Warriors Godseekers have a better sense of urgency when it comes to the actual campaign and battles. Since players will have a better sense for what they’re fighting for, this will raise the stakes for each engagement and the characters. This is coupled with both cutscenes and text dialogue that is fully voiced, both before and during the mission itself. It’s clear that developer Omega Force wanted to have a much deeper single player campaign than in previous entries.
