So I just started playing this a few days ago and am hooked.  
Please note, though: **I have never ever played any of the Dynasty Warrior games before this one**. I don’t own any console, so I only can play games available on the PC.

Anyway, someone suggested this one (number 8) about two weeks ago and I bought it, but didn’t really think I’d like it.  
After trying it, though, I LOVE it! Reminds me of the Total War games ( **which I don’t/didn’t like** ), only instead of controlling whole armies and sections, you only control ONE person at any given time and the rest of the characters are all controlled by AI.

So far I’m making my way through the first campaign, and it’s an amazingly fun game. So mulch going on at once and at the same time around you and a pretty deep storyline so far.

Am I the only one trying/playing this game? Surely I can’t be.

I’m playing it via Steam, for the record.

I like the series. Played Dynasty Warriors 3, 4, and 5, then switched over to Warriors Orochi 2 and 3 because that combines the Samurai Warriors franchise too.
