Having more than 82 characters featured in the game, the game largely based its system on Dynasty Warriors 7 and focused on adding more content for replayability while also making several tweaks to the combat system.
The story is based on the 14th-century Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
It is developed by Omega Force and published by Tecmo Koei. Dynasty Warriors 8 ( 真・三國無双7, Shin Sangoku Musō 7, known in Japan as Shin Sangoku Musou 7) is a hack and slash video game and the eighth official installment of the Dynasty Warriors series.
