The gameplay will focus more on strategy as in other Empires expansions, with players issuing commands and taking suggestions to and from their subordinate military officers. Samurai Warriors 4-II serves as the game's base for featured characters, action, and visuals. The overall concept is to present \"the ultimate Warriors conquest simulator\". In a response to fan feedback, this game will reuse qualities from the first Empires title. Developers from the Nobunaga's Ambition series have worked on the simulation parts of this game. No new playable characters are appearing, but the number of character events are heightened throughout the game.","106055\u002Fco2r8l_webp","106055\u002Fwk4k1dolvmquqhu9wvu6_webp","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002F8yAEtgkChBo","2015-09-17",72.43,12280,"samurai-warriors-4-empires",null,[19,24],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Omega Force",true,false,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":26},"Koei Tecmo",[28,29],"Strategy","Hack and slash\u002FBeat 'em up",[31,32],"PlayStation 3","PlayStation 4",[34,50,65,81,94,106,120],{"id":35,"author":36,"outlet":39,"summary":45,"review_url":46,"review_date":47,"original_score":48,"normalized_score":49},21430,{"id":37,"name":38},2655,"Johnny Hurricane",{"id":40,"logo":41,"name":42,"website_url":43,"score_format":44},25,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGamersheroes-logo.jpg","Gamers Heroes","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamersheroes.com","100","If you are a fan of the Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors games, I think you should give this one a go.

You can check out our review of Samurai Warriors 4 here and Samurai Warriors 4-II here. Most who are well accustomed to the Warriors\u002FMusou franchise know the underlying mechanics that make the basis of the age-old formula – that is, learning about Japanese history while you hack and slash as your favourite historical figure. However, prior to Samurai Warriors 4: Empires, there was Samurai Warriors 4-II as well as Samurai Warriors 4. So for some of you newcomers out there, you might be wondering “what the heck makes Empires different from the past two base games?” Well, its underlying mechanic is still the same with its hack and slash and Japanese history goodness, but how it’s utilized is a bit different. Let’s just say if you like the idea of a more strategic, world-conquering approach you’re in the right place.","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com\u002Freview\u002Fsamurai-warriors-4-empires-review\u002F","2016-03-11","72",72,{"id":66,"author":67,"outlet":70,"summary":76,"review_url":77,"review_date":78,"original_score":79,"normalized_score":80},64298,{"id":68,"name":69},3920,"Richard Seagrave",{"id":71,"logo":72,"name":73,"website_url":74,"score_format":75},27,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpew-Logo.jpg","GameSpew","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com","10","All things considered, Samurai Warriors 4: Empires is another solid entry in the series, but there’s nothing here that’s going to draw in those that aren’t already fans.
