The game will use an open world and have a reworked combat system. It will have all 83 characters from Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires and some new characters including Zhou Cang playable in Musou Stars. The original Japanese numbered titles in the series are behind the numbered series in the west.

despite the fun i did get out of this, i think platinuming it was more out of some weird addiction for the series rather than because i thought it was a good game...in fact i think it's terrible, there are soooo many problems that listing them all would take too long, but the character designs are some of my favourite in the series, the new additions to the roster are fun and.....maybe im just too musou-brained
A big departure from the more linear approach of the rest of the series. The English VAs and empty world greatly hold the game back, as well as a tone down in the "unrealistic" aspects. However, the more martial arts approach to the movesets was a welcome addition.
Too much information on screen, menus and overall boring, combat is fun at first then is just repetitive. Characters design is good but animations are terrible.
Me, before starting the game : "It can't be that bad, it's still Dynasty Warriors!"
Me, after starting the game : "... I'm bored"

QUE DESGRAÇA É ESSA QUE DESGRAÇA É ESSA QUE DESGRAÇA É ESSA QUE DESGRAÇA É ESSA QUE DESGRAÇA É ESSA QUE DESGRAÇA É ESSA. Literalmente esse jogo é uma desgraça, não tem uma única qualidada, me faz querer enfiar todos os musou no cu, é puro preconceito sem base, mas que gênero merda, que saga merda, e mesmo assim essa consegue ser a maior merda que eu já vi. Eu sabia que era ruim, mas não tanto, acabou sendo não só o jogo mais merda que eu consumi, mas como é quase a maior merda que eu já consumi, só tá atrás da série da velma e da trilogia 365 dias. Graças a Deus uma missão bugou e eu não consigo mais avançar na história, só vou marcar complete pq a história deve ser uma merda (tô pulando todos os diálogos) e o combate é a mesma merda só que com visuais diferentes (todo jogo desse gênero parece isso afinal). Só não é a coisa mais chata que eu já joguei pq Nioh ainda existe, Nioh ainda tem a pior dificuldade que eu já vi, boa Nioh, sempre no pódio.
Jesus I don't even know where to start. I guess with the good because that's a really short list?
TLDR: This game is all about the quantity of things, with no quality to be found. Large map. Large roster. Nothing to do and the stalest gameplay to date in a musou game. If we never get a DW10 it would be a travesty that this series died here, but I wouldn't be surprised with just how bad DW9/Empires are.
First is the open world CONCEPT (not execution). I like the idea of these massive battles actually spanning across this large map, as well as the completion of lesser objectives around the map lowering the level of enemies to make the battle easier as you progress.
Now for the bad stuff:
Like I said the execution of the open world is awful. The map is massive and there's nothing in it. Every castle looks the same, every fort looks the same, every hut looks the same, all the structures are just copy/pasted throughout the world and there's no indication you've even gone to a new place except sometimes there's the usual nothing but with snow on the ground.
While completing objectives helps make the entire battle easier, the game doesn't need to be easier. It is without a doubt the easiest DW game to date.
The number of playable characters increased again but with the cost of unique playstyles. Much like the last time DW made a jump to a new gen of consoles the combat is stripped down so that the combos have less variety and multiple characters share the same default weapons
The game genuinely looks worse than DW8, some of the character redesigns look like but as a whole the game just looks atrocious
And last but not least the performance of the game is BAD. Musou games have never been optimized too well and this game continues the streak.
