Really disappointing. I wasn't super thrilled with the last Empires title (Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires) because of how stripped-down it felt, and was hoping for something different, maybe something that felt like a more fleshed-out experience.

I bought this as a gift and my boys do seem to be enjoying it. I bought it because they are very keen on the Samurai Heroes game that they already own. The dialogue in game is in Japanese with English subtitle, which was unexpected.

could not find this at my local shop, thankfully it was here at a great price, will buy again

good fun action game

I must admit that I'm relatively new to the hack and slash genre, but the few games that I have played, I have enjoyed immensely. Samurai Warriors 4 Empires is the first I have played in the series so I cannot comment on how it has changed from its predecessors.

Fun battles and strategy system; good character development with interesting and sometimes humorous cutscenes

No localization but there are subtitles

Story mode, make your own character story mode, free mode, offers plenty of action and greatly improved visuals from previous titles. Character customization alone is a time consuming activity. AI for these titles could always use a little improvement but a solid entry regardless.

As you might know, I've reviewed quite a few of the Warriors games now, including some of the Empires games. Overall, they are among my favorite games, and I am happy that the new Samurai Warriors 4 Empires is excellent as well. I can say that it is my favorite of the Empires that I have played.

This game was a huge improvement from the last games and the characters were fun to play with. Ignore all the repetitious stuff people say about the warrior games because it's so much fun taking out hundreds of people however this games story needed a lot of cutscenes.

If you just want to lay back and wade through a sea of enemies and wreck them all this game is perfect. However, you're not completely immortal so the game can still keep you on your toes. I've racked up to the cap of 9999 combos. There's a lot of characters to choose from which is great.

I am a big fan of the Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors and Warriors Orochi series. Bought them all when they came out at release(own all the main series mentioned above, their Xtreme Legends and Empires, all the way back to Dynasty Warriors 2 on ps2). Sooo many hours of fun from these games.
