Samurai Warriors 4 - PlayStation 4

This is my first time playing a Samurai Warriors game and I definitely loved it. Played almost every story mission and a little bit in the Chronicle mode.Game: Loved this game. The new dash mode is a blast!!! And the standard bearer makes the battle closer to reality. This time is not just about releasing pressure by slashing everything (well kinda is) but requiring players to think about a better strategy to satisfy all the requirements! The graphics is above average but could be improved. Storyline is pretty close to real history but will get very cheesy from time to time.CD: Loved the CD. 15 blood-pumping BGMs. I enjoyed them during my finals since they got me going all night!Anime: Well... It is some kind of one small chapter of the legend of Sanada in the game. I watched it before playing the game and thought it kinda didn't make sense since I knew very little about the Japan Warring State history. But I will def watch it again since I know much more about it!

This is a great sequel however I have a few minor problems with it. 1) I like that the story is more focused on the Clans but I also dislike it because there's no what if scenario's which I think they should bring back, while there are battles you can go into from another clans perspective if it involves someone that originally fought with whatever clan's story you're doing it's not the same as a what if scenario like in previous games. 2) Not much weapon variety, or rather what I mean to say is that you don't really get different weapons. In previous Samurai Warriors games, you'd start off with a level 1 weapon but then after a battle you get a level 2 weapon and it was different, stronger and may have attributes that improves your characters abilities when equipped. In SW4 you get the same weapon each time (Unless it's the ultimate weapon for that character or a DLC weapon) and it's base attack and or attributes are different with the possibility of being able to upgrade them. While it doesn't take away from gameplay, I think it would've been nice to see characters using a new weapon each time they've obtained one that wasn't a level 1 weapon. 3) Charaters do not use all of their musou bars like in previous titles either they use one each time and in my opinion it just isn't great but in no way does it detract from the games experience. Now on to the things I like about this game. 1) The combat has been beefed up quite a bit. Charge attacks have been changed to now allow you to chain attack multiple enemies at once so you can now clear up crowds with ease. 2) Chronicle mode is extremely fun it's almost like a story mode for your create a warrior but with mini scenarios that are based on your choices. 3) Level designs are amazing this game just looks breath taking from snowy mountain environments, to castles there's no doubt that this is the best looking SW game to date! So that's basically my thoughts on the game and I would highly recommend this game to fans of the series and to new comers!

If you have ever played any of the Warriors games, you know exactly what to expect. They haven't changed the formula much for any of them, but that's also why they have such a dedicated following.This however, is probably the most innovative one yet. The different modes, weapons, attacks, and variety of characters add a lot of fun to it. Split screen multiplayer is also a lot of fun. The game also has online multiplayer and sadly there is a glitch that makes it impossible to play online for many of the levels. The game is also easy to recommend for people who are into Japanese history at all.

I just got the game and played it a couple times for several hours already so obviously it's enjoyable. However, the only reason I bought it was for the online cooperative play through the modes. In both story mode and free mode me and my buddy found that it only let's us play the Legend of Kanto missions. When trying to connect on any other mission in any mode for coop, it gives an error message. The online is broken and we both discovered this as soon as we got the game and tried playing the first time. It has been broken since it was released a year ago and still is with no efforts it seeks to fix it according to message boards online. So, if you want this game, only get it if you planned on going solo. Otherwise it's a beautifully made game. Smooth, and still addicting.
