The naming conventions that Tecmo Koei follows with its Musou titles have grown increasingly incongruous over the last few years. Samurai Warriors 4-II doesn't fall within the Chronicles or Xtreme Legends lines, but instead serves as a pseudo-sequel to last year's PlayStation 4 entry.

The Samurai Warriors games always appealed to me a bit more than the Dynasty Warriors games, for whatever reason I found them easier to get into and enjoy. It's been a while since I've experience the feudal Japanese soap opera of gaming, but I think after spending well over a hundred hours in...

A sensation in its home country of Japan, and a cult hit in other countries, Koei's Musou series is an amalgamation of real time strategy and frantic, beat-em-up style action.
