Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition PC Review
The Switch “exclusive” that’s also secretly on the Windows Store
To celebrate the start of 2019, I made a goofy list of the top seven Dynasty Warriors games of the preceding year. Koei’s in-house Omega Force studio was on fire in 2018, releasing an absurd number of titles at a rapid clip. Some of the games were entirely new, and others were remasters of “classic” games with minor upgrades for new platforms.
One such re-release was Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition for the Nintendo Switch. It ranked fifth on my list for being competent, but it didn’t bring anything new to the game outside of a non-absurd $40 dollar price point for a bundle that came with a ton of DLC.
Recently, thanks to some random mentions on the Dynasty Warriors subreddit, I learned that Koei also quietly dropped that same package onto the Windows Store at the same time(official non-affiliate link). They did this in spite of it being marketed solely as a Nintendo Switch title, and in spite of the fact that no one ever buys games from the Windows Store.
