Massive Roster
The Dynasty Warriors series is famous for its range of warlords with different weapons and techniques, and DW9 does not skimp on the roster, to the tune of 90 characters. That is an absolutely bonkers number; you would probably struggle to think of 90 people you even know offhand, but most importantly, not a single playable unit from the previous games has been cut.
With troops of all kinds of personalities and skills hailing from the different kingdoms, you will have to get used to every weapon at your disposal, including swords, staves, clubs and lances. Xu Zhu looks to be a particular highlight; a heavyset, grinning fool with an enormous mace in hand, he is adept at clearing out hordes of soldiers all in the one fell swoop. Like many of the other returning generals, it will be interesting to see what adjustments they have made to his abilities from previous editions. One thing is clear, though: this dude looks like an absolute blast.
