Rushed, unfinished, need to consume movies, comics, anime and follow forums to understand who are most of the characters. Uninteresting story, main protagonists are forced and really dumb why they're there in the first place. Cutscenes are for the most part low detailed in-game. Game clearly developed to sell the actual content down the road. Cannot recommend in it's current form (Royal edition), surpasses the 100GB mark and i just cannot see where's all that DATA going. Couldn't care less to try the multiplayer. The game CAN be summarize like this: Main awesome movie, lots of low quality chatting, 80+ hours of fetch quests, beautiful incomplete lackluster ending, results; worst execution to a seemingly good story and promising good gameplay that under delivered hard.

What this game is? A turn-ish based strategy game with deep micro managing and customization. It delivers? Yes it does. Why the hell the low score? The price is way high for the low quality of the game. Koei is known for making long lived franchises, whether they drop in quality over time, maintain or go up is up to debate, but one thing is a fact; As time passes Koei pushes more and more cellphone/android or tablet quality games on Console and PC. These guys want the PC/Console sale numbers and price tag with Android/Flash games quality development and it shows with NA, ROTK and the new Tactics game. This game in particular lacks in every area of past NA or ROTK games had good. It's not about graphics, but **** looks like it came from Facebook Flash games, feels like it, plays like it and costs full $50, avoid it at all costs, vote with your wallet, demand better games, not cheap cash grab tactics.

Bugged as hell, freezing constantlySR4is prettymuch the same all the DLC is NOT worthy, Expansions are fun How the saints saved the christmas and The Dominatrix are short, feel unfinished but fun, worth the money? not at all. Gat Out of Hellis also freezing, loosing sound, glitching, weapons are ok, but not great ,there are no custoomization, taking over territories means nothing, there no in-game cutscenes ruining completely the peace of HELL andit's habitants, again as SR4's expansions this one is more complete but not worth the money, $60 for this not at all, maybe $30 for a Re-release bigged as hell.

Warning DO NOT BUY. As of now, the game is incomplete, lacking, bugged, badly programed and clearly not tested ONE MINUTE. Your CAWs have no voices on the in-game events/scenes . As of now the voices areall messed up, Ma chao talked like a strong woman, Dong Zhuo like a little girl and CAW use random voices every time. As every empire there are individual comand prompts for every of your officer, which in this game they completely ignore, you tell them to DEFEND X base or move to this point and the ignore it ,go rampaging a perfectly defended base and let themelves be captured in SECONDS. Ther is a new "grand scheme/strategy" now, which requires two of your officers choosen at RANDOM to leave the battlefield for a minute or more, which is, so far worthless as the strenght of such stratagems damage/usefullness, BUT the fu#$% AI, your subordinates decideto ABUSE these ass stratagems, and they CHOOSE to dissappear two of your officers twice or three times IN A ROW, making near impossible enjoy your command of battle, plus, making things harder and stupidier. This is the most quiet battlefields EVER, remember DW7 empires? cutscenes everywere you can see your CAW and others to chat, complimient each other, feast, battle and just chat, this time the battlefield is complete silence, no one is talking **** no one cares your 3k kills or base defence, no matter the strategy THERE ARE NO CUTSCENES for such plots, no cutscens of the amush, no cutscenes for being a ruler, no cutscenes for ANYTHING. there is this "fatigue" system where if you or one of your officers battle too much they start loosing stats, great if done well,saddly it does NOT. there is NO indicator for how much fatigued you are, you just randomly loose stats. The game says resting "cures" fatigue, but resting do not cures fatigue, it cures SOME fatigue, but ALAS there is no indicator of how much you are fatigued you cannot know when/how you will be OK. Koei sold Unit creator as a big improvement, but is lacking as hell. Creating a warhorse is ok if you somehow controlled who or when cavalry appears. Createa banner is awesome indeed. But man, create a soldier is lacking, you can only choosefrom the normal models: Peseant, 5 types of soldiers (the usual) and the mages, thats it. You can alter height, weight and colour palettes, done, no custom weapons, no increase strenght, no armor pieces or shields o fighting styles, just plain choose a clone. Battlefields are a mess, the pathlines from base to base are so opaque that is confusing if theres is a way/path or it's just the line. multiple objectives crowd and crample so tight, their flashing markings just get in the way and hide important parts of the map. On-screen allies cannot be more braindead and weak as fu$"#. On-screen allies seldom throw punches, and when they do they make for 1% of damage, they NEED 5 to 6 minutes for an officer to kill an archer and there are hundreds, THOUSANDS. The game could be fun, but for now are the WORST $50 dollars spend so far in the year. NOT RECOMENDED, not for new players, not for Veteran Warriors fans or Empires's. Koei not only needs to fix the unplayable voices. Koei need to make the game at least as DW7 with newer characters, bus as of now, new weapon schemes are NOT enough for making a new empire game. Koe need to fix thisBROKEN UNPLAYABLE hacked off version ****. Good thing to remember DW7 Empires was abandoned and never patched, remember DW7 was left incomplete to it's luck, i made a terrible MISTAKE in buying this game as for now.
