Samurai Warriors 4 is yet another solid entry in the long-running beat-em-up franchise. It offers a few new gameplay tweaks and a different narrative structure, but is largely the same old brawler you've seen countless times.

Initiée en 2004 sur PS2, la série Samurai Warriors se présente comme une franchise alternative à Dynasty Warriors, célèbre beat'em all typiquement japonais développé par le studio Omega Force.

Toujours aussi défoulant; Bonne durée de vie; Nouveautés de gameplay appréciables; Graphiquement en nette hausse..

Samurai Warriors 4 is truly for the fans of Tecmo Koei and its sister franchises, Dynasty Warriors and Warriors Orochi . The gameplay is solid and while it doesn't feel like it's progressed as much as it could and Omega Force continues to be perhaps a bit too comfortable in pushing its series'...

Refreshing inclusion of strategies; Fluid combat; Different variables to keep the game interesting

Genesis mode adds very little; Combat is repetitive; Fights can be overwhelming

With Samurai Warriors 4 , Omega Force's other established Musou series finally steps out of the shadow cast by their more revered Dynasty Warriors catalogue. At long last, the repetitive gameplay and stale storytelling that hampered previous installments is lessened as a result of several refined...

This is actually my first experience with the Samurai Warriors game series. I've toyed with some of the crossovers in the past with Dynasty Warriors and a few other brands like Pokemon Conquest (yes I think that one counts), but I'd never gotten into Samurai Warriors and after playing this one, I'm...

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.

Omega Force's prolific Dynasty Warriors and its various spinoffs will likely be familiar to most semi-serious gamers at this point.
