It's a slow morning as we come back from the Easter nonsense, so let's sneak more Dynasty Warriors stuff onto the frontpage when nobody's looking. Chief among these assets in our gallery are new scans for Empires that shows off the brand new Nanman stage and the returning Meng Huo character, who was absent from Dynasty Warriors 6.
Meng Huo's weapon takes the form of a giant stone pillar rather than the beast gloves he used to have. My main fear here is that he's yet another cloned character, and will play out just like Wei Yan and all the other characters with clubs in DW6. I hope he doesn't, since I stopped playing the last game when I realized Omega Force was replicating movesets at least three times over.
Also, I can't explain why one of the older screenshots has Meng Huo holding a giant mushroom.
We shall see. Either way, it's been ages since I played a Dynasty Warriors game, and I'm always up for more.
