Dynasty Tactics 2

Much more user-friendly and action-oriented than their "Romance" series, Tactics throws you right into battle early and often; turn-based strategy fans will surely love this one.

More than any strategy game I've played, DT2 forces you to think five moves ahead at all times. [Nov 2003, p.52]

While there are some similarities to the original title, the addition of the planning phase to build and modify armies as well as recruit and train in more tactics was a good addition which added a little more than just fighting one battle after another.

A first-rate challenge for anyone with a mind for military strategy.

Once you get the hang of getting your troops in position to pull off huge combos, the game becomes surprisingly fun and addictive. [Nov 2003, p.176]

A strangely captivating experience and a very strong entry in a sadly underserved genre. It's a huge improvement over the first game in numerous categories. [Nov 2003, p.41]

I would hesitate to say that this game has more depth. It's more difficult but the strategy is still the same as the original. Once you figure out what all the new variables do, you'll think you're still playing the original game.

Dynasty Warriors en tour par tour, c'est terriblement vilain mais un peu moins idiot qu'un Dynasty classique. Dans l'ensemble, l'interface est plutôt correcte à part la fenêtre d'info qui envahit la moitié de l'écran. Si les "tactiques" (aptitudes spéciales des unités) sont appréciables, leur utilisation absconse dans des chaînes ou combos (sic !) tient de la logique floue d'un salary man défoncé au saké qui vomit tout sur le quai. Dommage, car on aurait pu croire Koei capable d'un bon jeu de stratégie... or il n'en est rien : ils sont retournés à ce qu'ils savent faire à peu près : le beat'em all annuel complètement à la masse et la ramasse (on peut y jouer bourré, on ne voit pas la différence).
