Warriors Orochi 4

8.8/10

Warriors Orochi 4 is a great offering in the tactical action genre with massive scale, excellent combat solid RPG offerings. Some repetitive NPC usages coupled with the grindy nature of the title might be a turn off to sum. However, if you are someone who loves develop overpowered characters and teams, is a completionist at heart or is looking for a title to grind through while binging whatever is on Netflix, Warriors Orochi 4 delivers!

Warriors Orochi 4’s offering of a massive roster and the ability to use magic in combat makes for a fresher experience that fans of the series will enjoy though it's repetitive nature still lingers for those who aren’t fans of the series’ signature element of taking down entire armies on your own.

Warriors Orochi 4 is a celebration of Koei Tecmo’s Warriors series, and it’s a great game to pick up for those interested in some good old hack-and-slash goodness. With its record-breaking roster of characters and some new gameplay mechanics, this is one adventure that is divinely entertaining.

If you can look past the little annoyances like grinding and the frame rate, then Warrior Orochi 4, coupled with fun gameplay and pretty looking environments, makes for a rather welcome instalment into the franchise.

Whereas I feel this is the best Mosou game currently available for the Switch, there's not enough here to bring over any converts, especially those who played Fire Emblem Warriors and Hyrule Warriors specifically for the franchise tie-ins.Read More

Warriors Orochi 4 will not turn a non-believer into a believer. If you are already uninterested in the Warriors franchise, or musou games in general, Warriors Orochi 4 isn’t going to change your mind. Yet, I imagine that for most fans, they’re merely looking for more of the same. Despite being formulaic and repetitive, you know what you’re getting with a Warriors game. And if that’s your thing, you’ll no doubt have some fun with Warriors Orochi 4.

Despite rocky presentation and a ho-hum story, Warriors Orochi 4 has been some of the dumbest fun I’ve had with a video game all year. There’s always been something magical about sending dozens of foes flying with giant swords and massive spears, but to up the ante with cross-character combos and absurd magic attacks makes the whole thing even more fun. While the lacklustre story mode didn’t provide a strong hook for me to keep playing, I was driven by the swath of new characters I’d unlock with each mission and the new tools and tricks I had at my disposal when I went into the next battle wit...

Similar to how I felt in my review of Dynasty Warriors 9 from earlier this year, I feel like there’s a better game hiding beneath the surface of Warriors Orochi 4. As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock more and more characters. It plays into the story, but I wish it translated into the gameplay in a meaningful way. While playing, I imagined battles being immensely more difficult if I was unsuccessful in recruiting new allies. I imagined my roster constantly increasing and decreasing based on my success in battles. But nothing like that exists in the game. Instead, if you fail in a ba...

With cumbersome menus and an underwhelming performance, I can't really recommend Warriors Orochi 4 that highly. It is impressive that the game retained all of its content, which I gladly shower praise upon. The gameplay is neat and the flow from battle to battle is rather solid, but the problems drag the experience down harshly. The story is take it or leave it and Warriors Orochi 4 isn't too welcoming to newcomers in general. If you are a fan of the Orochi games and have a need for this on the go, I guess the Nintendo Switch is the only way you can go. However, in every other instance, there…

Koei Tecmo and Omega Force have something of a legacy when it comes to their hack and slash titles. Any game with the name “warrior” in it most likely has some sort of tie to the pair of studios ranging from Dynasty Warriors to Samurai Warriors, Hyrule Warriors to Fire Emblem Warriors, and so on. These are games that present their own compelling narrative and mix in some capture the flag hack and slash gameplay that – while simple – can pull you in for hours with its oddly addictive nature. Much like our beloved larger than life superhero movies these days, the next logical step has been to br...

Experience an all-new gripping narrative in the latest installment of the one-versus-thousands Warriors Orochi action game series, and face an unfamiliar mystical threat with a new arsenal of magic.

Omega Force’s Dynasty Warriors series has always been somewhat polarising in the West. These games allow you to mow down hundreds of enemies with a single attack and they are always great spectacles. However, the series as a whole has seen criticism for being too simplistic and repetitive. Warriors Orochi 4, which is a crossover between the China-focused Dynasty Warriors series and the Japan-focused Samurai Warriors series, brings many new features to the table. It might not necessarily win...
