Samurai Warriors 4-II Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Samurai Warriors 4-II should appeal to fans of the original title and will certainly appeal to Warriors fans that missed the predecessor. While I was disappointed to see the excellent Chronicle Mode of Samurai Warriors 4 sacrificed for a more throwaway Survival one, this new mode is still quite entertaining. However, the real strength in this one is the way the various fascinating stories of fascinating heroes is retold, and as a result of that Samurai Warriors 4-II is one of the best games in the series for some time.
Samurai Warriors 4-II is a great addition to the series and proves to be plenty of fun, whether you're playing solo or with a friend. Go get yourself lost in this Feudal era drama.
If you are one of the people who appreciate this series' unique brand of action gameplay, then there is plenty to like in Samurai Warriors 4-II- the best gameplay system in the series, combined with a great setting, a massive amount of content, and the all new Survival Mode make this game an easy sell for the fan.
Another thing is the lack of much to do with your created character. There are a lot of options for to customize a character but they can only be used in survival and free mode. I know it's hard to add something like this to story, but without it, I didn't see the need to make a character or use it. Just a missed opportunity in my opinion.
Stuck in a strange realm somewhere between a sequel and an expansion, Samurai Warriors 4-II is, in many ways, a follow up to last year's superb Samurai Warriors 4 – but it's certainly not the inevitable Samurai Warriors 5. It borrows characters, stages, music, mechanics, voice acting, and even artwork from 2015's historical hack and slasher, but to call it an enhanced edition isn't accurate either, since its general structure is totally different. Hey, it's no wonder people get confused when it comes to musou titles.
Samurai Warriors 4-II is the latest game in Koei's Samurai Warriors series. As the II will probably tip you off, Samurai Warriors 4-II is tied to Samurai
Unlike previous titles in the franchise that focused on delivering their narrative by exploring the various regions of feudal Japan, Samurai Warriors 4-II casts a spotlight on the characters themselves and tells their stories through 13 exciting new chapters.
