The game was made to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the series. The game features a character-switching feature, similar to the spin-off, Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, with which players can take two characters into battles simultaneously, and freely switch between the two. Two new moves, \"Hyper Attacks\" and \"Rage Mode\" are featured in this game: Hyper Attacks is a secondary moveset available to all characters that allows the player to sweep through and clear out crowd of enemies with a dashing animation, although it is useless against enemy officers, as they will either deflect it or are otherwise immune against it. Rage Mode renders the player invincible for a period of time, and also enhances the player's attacks as well as empowering their Musou attack by using the Spirit Gauge.","76639\u002FSamurai Warriors 4_Cover.webp","76639\u002FSamurai Warriors 4_Header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FQDPoaDjT2DM","2014-03-20",82.57,7290,"samurai-warriors-4",null,[19,24],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Omega Force",true,false,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":26},"Koei Tecmo",[28],"Hack and slash\u002FBeat 'em up",[30,31],"PlayStation 3","PlayStation 4",[33,49,65,80,94,106,121],{"id":34,"author":35,"outlet":38,"summary":44,"review_url":45,"review_date":46,"original_score":47,"normalized_score":48},37468,{"id":36,"name":37},3558,"Daniel Kozlowski",{"id":39,"logo":40,"name":41,"website_url":42,"score_format":43},7,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcog-connected-logo.png","COGConnected","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com","100","Dynasty Warriors 3 was my first bout with the Warriors series. At the time I was quite young, probably close to 8 years old or so. I played the game for hours on end and loved every second of it. As I grew older, I found the games lack innovation and every new entry seemed to be more disappointing. Sure the basis of the game was fun, but it felt like Omega Force was basically copying and pasting content while adding in the occasional new map or character. With Samurai Warriors 4, Omega Force has finally made some great changes to take the Warriors franchise to the next level.","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com\u002Freview\u002Fsamurai-warriors-4-review\u002F","2014-11-04","83",83,{"id":50,"author":51,"outlet":54,"summary":60,"review_url":61,"review_date":62,"original_score":63,"normalized_score":64},68056,{"id":52,"name":53},1377,"Chris Carter",{"id":55,"logo":56,"name":57,"website_url":58,"score_format":59},10,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FDestructoid-Logo.png","Destructoid","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.destructoid.com","10","Samurai Warriors 4 suffers from the same pratfalls as the rest of the Warriors series on occasion, but the strong offering of content and robust Chronicle mode will keep you interested for quite a while.

It’s just a shame co-op isn’t an option for the excellent Survival Mode. Regardless, released at a discounted price, it offers excellent value for money considering the wealth of content included, and whilst it may not be to everyone’s tastes, anyone looking for some mindless action should certainly consider picking this title up.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2015\u002F10\u002Fsamurai-warriors-4-ii-review\u002F","2015-10-14","7\u002F10",70,{"id":81,"author":82,"outlet":85,"summary":90,"review_url":91,"review_date":46,"original_score":92,"normalized_score":93},45806,{"id":83,"name":84},3985,"Matt Fernandez",{"id":86,"logo":87,"name":88,"website_url":89,"score_format":59},62,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPlaystation-Universe-Logo.jpg","Playstation Universe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.psu.com\u002F","Samurai Warriors 4 delivers endless hours of fun in a visually appealing silky-smooth package.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.psu.com\u002Freviews\u002Fsamurai-warriors-4-review-pushing-the-hack-and-slash-genre-to-new-heights\u002F","9",90,{"id":95,"author":96,"outlet":99,"summary":104,"review_url":105,"review_date":62,"original_score":92,"normalized_score":93},47898,{"id":97,"name":98},4080,"Robert Ramsey",{"id":100,"logo":101,"name":102,"website_url":103,"score_format":59},63,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPush-Square-Logo.jpg","Push Square","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002F","The Samurai Warriors franchise has always played second fiddle to sister series Dynasty Warriors, especially over here in the West. Where the latter is now up to its eighth main instalment, without counting any spin-offs, Samurai Warriors has only just reached its fourth incarnation. To the inexperienced, there isn't much to separate the two sets of games, and to an extent, there's an element of truth to this. They both largely follow the same structure of hacking and slashing your way through expansive historical battlefields, but proceedings have always felt a little more refined on the Japanese side of things. Whether this is because there's more development time between titles is up for debate, but there's no doubt that, more often than not, Samurai Warriors tends to be the more polished of Koei's creations.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pushsquare.com\u002Freviews\u002Fps4\u002Fsamurai_warriors_4",{"id":107,"author":108,"outlet":111,"summary":116,"review_url":117,"review_date":118,"original_score":119,"normalized_score":120},134569,{"id":109,"name":110},11088,"Dustin Spencer",{"id":112,"logo":113,"name":114,"website_url":115,"score_format":59},143,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcapsule-computers-logo.jpg","Capsule Computers","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.capsulecomputers.com.au\u002F","","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.capsulecomputers.com.au\u002F2014\u002F10\u002Fsamurai-warriors-4-review\u002F","2014-10-31","8.5",85,{"id":122,"author":123,"outlet":126,"summary":131,"review_url":132,"review_date":133,"original_score":134,"normalized_score":64},79707,{"id":124,"name":125},5929,"Cyril Lachel",{"id":127,"logo":128,"name":129,"website_url":130,"score_format":59},59,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGaming-Nexus-Logo.jpg","Gaming Nexus","https:\u002F\u002Fgamingnexus.com\u002F","Samurai Warrior 4 is yet another solid entry in the long-running beat-em-up franchise.
