It's nice to get content, and as someone who enjoys creating characters I couldn't help but give this a try.

After going through all the extra options though; it doesn't make me feel like the $10 was well spent.

As I understand it Koei is aiming to utilize Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires as a free to play game in the future alongside this current release with the caveat being cosmetic DLC for the freemium iteration; while I understand the price tag's purpose there I just can't see the reason for it here. Heck, some of the really cool hair styles are in this pack and thus are behind a paywall.

If you've money to spare and enjoy the character creation, this will no doubt help you to vary up your officers that little bit more. However, if you're strapped for cash, be wary of steam sales and consider getting this discounted; compared to other $10 DLC's this is pretty meager stuff.
