No Character Creation / Customization?

[Dave Johnson]

Inserting the "Nameless Hero" would have been the perfect opportunity to introduce some form of character customization for your hero, but instead it's just more of same same same same stuff that's been pumped-out since the early 2010s.

Absolutely that's what it is.
There's absolutely no meaningful changes in these sequels.

There was absolutely a meaningful change between 8 and 9... Just one in the wrong direction.

I mean after 9 doing 8 with better graphics after decades of that would've been the death kneel of the series, the entire growth of the series could be summed up as more enemies on screen and bigger maps and we all know how well that worked with gen 9. This entry is at least trying to move the series forward for once there's a cinematic story and advance enemy ai that actually use attacks rather then bumping into each other and enemy leaders that aren't break the shield icon as they endlessly stay in block mode. There's an never ending list of dynasty games and spinoffs that cater to anyone missing the older style of gameplay. It's time for something different and this is still a spinoff it isn't dw10.

I feel like you didn't play DW8 if you think that's the depth of the gameplay....

.......
The alternative timeline is let's do dw10 and when it's the same old nonsense and is a commercial failure cause everyone is bored to death with the dynasty warriors formula after 9 mainline entries dozens of altered versions like empires and extremes and we'll see how long it takes for dynasty 11 to come out. The series is basically on life support if this one doesn't sell well.

The problem with doing something different now is they've probably waited too long and no one will care about this entry.

The problem with doing something different now is that it's stuck in a side entry with a generic protagonist and a limited cast that you can only play as for a minute a mission.

Or we could do DW10 with DWO mechanics and a fully fledged cast of characters to play as instead of whatever the heck this is.
