While some critics accuse the series of being repetitive with shallow gameplay mechanics, the series’ fans are more than happy to sink hours upon hours laying waste to thousands of enemies on the battlefield. The Dynasty Warriors series is something of an acquired taste for gamers. Since then, the series has grown in popularity and has even managed to find itself a more mainstream audience with several licensed crossovers.

While Koei regularly sprays Warriors sequels and spin-offs at consoles-everything from Gundam and Fist of the North Star to the Trojan War and The Legend of Zelda-it's a lot more reserved on PC. Does it particularly matter what the expandalone added if we never saw the original game anyway? Stuff. So what's this Complete Edition business about?
