Warriors Orochi 4 Reviews
Warriors Orochi 4 captures some of the nostalgic magic that’s made the Musou games a fun button mashing romp. But the game is painfully safe – doing very little that feels new or exciting.
Warriors Orochi 4 has the biggest character roster to date (GWR), but is it the best in the series? In my opinion, Warriors Orochi 3 had a much better story and a more interesting core mechanic (time travel), but Warriors Orochi 4‘s story does get better as you get deeper into the game. There are parts of the game which annoyed me, such as the weapon and upgrade management side, but the actual gameplay is solid for a ‘Warriors’ game and delivers hours of mindless fun. I was also saddened to see the gauntlet and paint mode are absent, especially when it’s replacement is a king of the hill style game, but at least we have full local and online co-op in every one of the 65 stages.
As a fan of musou games, it would be impossible for me not to recommend this game to people who might be curious about the series or veterans looking for their next button mashing fix. While more than half of the stages are lifted from the games they were originally from, a fun story, great music, and enjoyable frantic combat makes Warriors Orochi 4 a must have for any fan of these characters or franchises.
