If you've ever wanted to singlehandedly demolish an army with a sword the size of a small car, Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition (DW7:XL DE) delivers that fantasy in full force. As a hybrid release combining the base Dynasty Warriors 7 game with the expanded Xtreme Legends content and all the DLC, this package serves as one of the most content-rich entries in Koei Tecmo’s long-running franchise. The signature “one versus a thousand” hack-and-slash gameplay remains the core of the experience. Each character has a unique moveset, weapon affinities, and flashy musou attacks that feel satisfying even after hours of repetition. DW7 introduced the “Weapon Switching” system, allowing for dynamic mid-combat changes, which keeps battles fluid and tactical. Whether you're a returning fan or new to the series, the combat here is still mindless fun in the best way possible. However, if you’re looking for deep combat mechanics or strategic nuance, you may find the gameplay loop shallow. It’s built more for spectacle than complexity. DW7's Story Mode is a standout for the series. Unlike previous entries that focused on individual characters, this installment emphasizes faction-based narratives (Wei, Wu, Shu, and Jin), providing a more cohesive and cinematic retelling of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The inclusion of the Jin faction is particularly notable, offering a fresh perspective as the series explores the fall of the Three Kingdoms era. Cutscenes are well-directed, and voice acting—while melodramatic—is appropriately over-the-top for the genre. The Xtreme Legends expansion adds plenty: new characters, weapon types, and modes like Legend Mode and Challenge Mode. Legend Mode lets you create your own warrior’s journey through China with a mix of story-based and freeform missions. It’s a great way to experience the game outside the structured faction campaigns and provides a lot of replayability. The Definitive Edition also includes all DLC from previous releases, such as costumes, stages, and additional weapons, making this version ideal for completionists. Originally released in 2011, DW7 shows its age visually. While character models and flashy musou effects still impress, environments are bland and lack detail. The Definitive Edition doesn’t significantly overhaul the visuals but does improve resolution and performance on modern systems. On the Nintendo Switch and PC, the game runs relatively smoothly, though expect occasional frame drops during particularly chaotic battles. Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition is a time capsule of the franchise at one of its high points. While the gameplay can be repetitive, it’s also deeply cathartic and stylish in its simplicity. The story structure, diverse cast, and sheer volume of content make it a worthy pick for fans of the series or newcomers curious about the musou formula. If you're into historical melodrama, over-the-top action, and mowing down hordes of enemies with a grin on your face, DW7:XL DE is worth your time—even in 2025. Still one of the strongest entries in the series, even if its age is starting to show. Rating: 8/10

This is probably the best way to experience the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story, aside from actually reading it. It does a wonderful job of dramatizing and simplifying the era, without leaving too much out. The less important characters are kinda left out, but the important ones are done so well that it doesn't even matter. You'll get some pretty awesome and memorable character moments out of this game, and all of the arcs are really satisfying to see happen. My one complaint about the story is that sometimes, it can be a bit too fast paced. Wu especially suffers from this, in my opinion. But the rest of it is amazing, and justifies playing this game alone. The problem with this game is that if you've played any other recent Warriors game, the gameplay is REALLY rough. I honestly had to switch to easy mode for 3/4 of the campaigns, because normal mode was so boring, and hard mode was just the same thing but everyone got more health. The gameplay really just is a worse version of DW8's, and it causes the game to feel rather mindless at times. There were moments in the game where I missed side objectives, and I thought it was going to be cool, because now I'd have to deal with more stuff complicating the mission. Nope. If you just focus on the main objective, the complications don't really matter at all. All in all, it's a really really good story!! Just packaged in a game that's not as fun as others in its genre. The story really carries this one, and can definitely keep your interest, if you can deal with the mediocre gameplay. So I'd give it a 7/10. Lianshi and Wang Yuanji should both beat me up I think

Very good game, I recommend to everyone, especially those who are fans of the series and haven't played it yet. Though I still wish the other, older games were on Steam, this game is great though. I prefer this game over DW8XL any day, and it just might be me, but this game looks graphically better than DW8XL, and I'm not a graphics kind of person. If you were to get this on Steam, I would definitely recommend a controller. Also, this Steam version lacks the achievements that were present on the console versions. Overall Difficulty: 4/10, generally quite easy - easy to pick-up (with a controller) Much easier than the classic games (DW3-5) and doesn't have any of the random intensity spikes of DW6. Overall, it's an easy game but it would definitely get more challenging if you play on harder difficulties when not prepared. This game was a sign of what would come of the later games, with a heavy focus on the 1 VS 1000 slogan. Peons (the basic standard enemy) are basically mindless, and it has been this way since DW6 and at least up to DW9. You can block the majority of Musou attacks, with very few being able to break the shield/ignore it entirely. Musou attacks that do break shield usually happens at the end of their Musou, so there is no point of it. All of the grab attack Musous completely ignore shields, though they are usually slow to wind-up and can be easily ignored. Standard non-Musou character officers never do Musou attacks (though I haven't checked on harder difficulties) like they used to on older games. Warning, this version of the game does come with all of the original DLC, so I would PERSONALLY avoid using the overpowered DLC weapons which you start out with off the bat (or at least I did). Thankfully Koei didn't make you spend $40+ for all of the DLC and just gave it to you for free, so that's nice. Also, despite being labeled DW7XL, it does include the base DW7. For those who don't know, the original console versions of 7XL were more like expansions that only had the extra stuff. So no story and many other things, unless you inserted the DW7 disc first then the DW7XL disc when prompted, combining both the games together (which is what this game is, the combined definitive version of the game). So although this might not have the original, nostalgic feeling of the PS3, this is definitely the BEST version of the game you can get. (Some of my information may be wrong as I have been playing base DW7 on the PS3 recently as of this and haven't played DW7XL in almost a year since this review) DW7 has empire stories, unlike the older games. This means that instead of playing the story of Cao Cao, you play the story of Wei. The story focuses on certain characters more than others, and I think some (but I'm not sure) characters just don't appear in the story as a playable character at all. There is no definitive free mode, but there is Conquest mode and a couple other modes introduced with 7XL. This is the first game in the series to actually feature Jin as a playable faction. DW7 brings back many features that was removed from DW6 and also adds in new things as well. This and DW6, I would say, are the most emotionally powerful games in the series. The cut-scenes look amazing (much betters than DW8's cut-scenes) and are very impressive, even on the PS3 version (which looks better than 8XL on the PS4). The cut-scenes look professionally-made and have strong emotional impact (unlike DW9). DW7 also has a really good soundtrack, even more so since the free DLC also includes music from the older games. DW7 is the first mainline game to feature the use of multiple weapons, and the ability to swap out weapons to whatever you like. One great feature that I wish made it to DW8, was the ability to change out a weapon mid-battle (not referencing weapon SWAPPING), as it made weapon testing/play styles much easier. DW7 also features a seal system and skill tree. Seals are earned by getting KO's with weapons. These seals can then be equipped on weapons to do more damage, have more defense, run faster, etc. Instead of leveling up characters/Renbu system, DW7 uses a skill tree/mastery system. Characters get skill points for routing officers which can then be used to unlock skills. These skills give you a longer chain attacks/power attacks, certain ability boosts (power, speed, etc.), or resistances to certain elements. Mastery is basically a characters preferred weapon, but you can earn a mastery seal and equip it on a weapon to make any character proficient with that weapon. Instead of element orbs, weapons are instead imbued with an element. This is also the first mainline game to feature an aerial Musou, though not every character gets one. This game removes the power aerial attack (jump + triangle on PS controller), and instead only uses a normal aerial attack. Some weapons would've benefited from a lighter, faster aerial attack, and others with a slower, but more powerful aerial attack, though this is just a small complaint for a decade old game. In base DW7, some characters have shared weapons (a feature I personally like), but I think DW7XL 'fixes' that 'issue' mostly. DW7 introduces/re-introduces many characters into the franchise. Zuo Ci still doesn't make a comeback yet until DW8. Later Shu gets fleshed a lot more (instead of just Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei), and even more so in DW8 if you're into that. Jin is an entirely new kingdom to the series and Sima Yi is moved from the Wei category to this. Only two new characters are introduced to Wu: Ding Feng & Lianshi. Shu gets 4 new characters: Guan Suo, Bao Sanniang, Ma Dai, & Liu Shan. Base DW7 Wei gets two new characters: Jia Xu & Cai Wenji. 'Other' gets none. Jin, the new kingdom, introduces 8 new characters plus moves Sima Yi over to them, the new ones are: Sima Shi, Sima Zhou, Wang Yuanji, Deng Ai, Guo Huai, Zhuge Dan, Zhong Hui, & Xiahou Ba. DW7XL adds/re-adds 3 characters, all of whom belong to Wei: Guo Jia, Wang Yi, and the re-added Pang De from DW5. This brings Wei's total amount of new'ish' characters from 2 to 5. Overall, DW7/7XL, is in my top 3 favorite Dynasty Warriors games. This Steam version is definitely the best version of the game (and it even saves you money with the DLC). If you do play, set-up and use a controller. I recommend ignoring the DLC weapons until later. Conquest Mode is worth it. I hope this helps those who are thinking of coming back to this game via PC/those who are playing the 'older' games for the first time. Also, despite all of my flak towards DW8 and others, I still love all of these games, and I mean ALL. I wouldn't rate a single MAINLINE DW game under 'B Tier'.

I wish i could put like a inbetween reating. This game is- something for sure. Im a huge mosou fan but not an expert. All ill say for this is the story is TOP NOTCH and ill be finishing this game most likely just for the story. But the gameplay is a different beast entirely. Everyone knows the meme of "musou games are just mindless slop and repetitive" Well its true here... every officer has the same moveset aside from EX moves and Musou moves. Yeah there is a weapon select and thats cool! but so does 8. and everyone in 8 has a signature weapon that alters movesets so they dont feel samey and attack of the clones like. Here we go the final verdict here is. Your looking for Gameplay: Look elsewhere i recommend Samurai Warriors 4 DX or Dynasty Warriors 8 XL Definitive edition or Warriors Orochi 3 Definitive edition. Your looking for Story: Buy this game youll be hooked!!! Honestly best in the series id say Your looking for a mixture: Well buy this on sale then or buy 8 (8 has a nice story but it skips around a bit so itl depend if your familiar with Dynasty Warriors lore or not, personal mileage will vary)

I will be frank. I have not played a Dynasty warriors since the PS2 and my last was dynasty warriors 4. I did have a Wii U and played my mother greatly enjoyed Hyrule Warriors. The legend of zelda dynasty warrior reskin. I as a game i can say this game does offer a lot of content for the price and all the DLC is packaged with the single purches. I don't really like all the star characters now have generic weapons but that is what it is. The shared Split screen works great on my old computer and the missions are quick and snappy not having a lot of the bs Hyrule warriors had. Over all it's a good beat-up with lots of mass murder goodness.
