Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires vs Empire Earth 2
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is another Empires spin-off from the main Dynasty Warriors franchise. It combines the repetitive hack and slash that the series is so famous for with a more strategic, Risk-like gameplay where you'll not only need to get your hands dirty in actual combat, but also make important military decisions based on your role as a leader of an army.However, many players have said that this game is definitely a step down from the 7th installment. Not to mention, like Dynasty Warriors 8, this PC port is plagued with the same control issues if you use the mouse and keyboard combo, but the problems go away once you switched over to using a controller. So, if you plan on buying this game, make sure you have a controller ready.
That being said, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is definitely the sort of game that caters to fans of the game series and may also appeal to some fans of strategy games, but as mentioned, despite being the newest, it's certainly not the best game in the spin-off series - it is merely a somewhat decent one.
Empire Earth 2
Empire Earth 2 lets you dive back again into the embrace of a timeless real-time strategy gameplay where this time around, you get to lead great nations and take part in the greatest historical battles known to mankind. Like the previous game though, you'll get to advanced through the ages, allowing you to experience both ancient warfare right up to a futuristic version. You can also decide to dominate others with your military might or via diplomatic techniques. This game even includes its expansion, Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy.Empire Earth 2 may not be as perfect an RTS as its original, but many would say that it's still a much decent game than Empire Earth 3, which is exactly when the franchise was shuttered for good. If you love Empire Earth, this is a pretty decent game to buy.
