Samurai Warriors 4 II Reviews
Samurai Warriors 4-11 bases itself on one of the best possible Warriors games, and therefore its core gameplay is of undeniable quality. It's a great game by all accounts. However, most of what makes it great was sold to us a year ago, so while there's still a ton of fun to be had, I am not going to be singing its praises a second time.
For fans that missed out on the original release, this is the version to get. The hack-n-slash style of gameplay might not be suitable for everyone's taste, but the game is still fun in short bursts.
Even though the game doesn't look any better from the previous instalment, Samurai Warriors 4-II's gameplay is as fun as ever and the story is definitely worth your time.
If you've yet to buy Samurai Warriors 4, we'd strongly recommend grabbing an earlier version of the game – whether that be the original or Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3. Although 4-II certainly has its perks, it fails to push the series in a new, more innovative direction as a whole. Thankfully, with Samurai Warriors 4 Empires already in the pipeline, it looks as though our favourite historical brawler may very quickly get back on track.
Samurai Warriors 4-II isn't a bad game, but it will only appeal to gamers who long to play lengthy battles where mindless button-mashing trumps strategy and variety.
