Samurai Warriors 4 Review | The Game Scouts

Tin Salamunic: There’s never been a better time for Warriors fans. From last year’s fantastic Dynasty Warriors 8 to the recent Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate and the brilliant Hyrule Warriors, developer Omega Force has tackled the new console generation with great enthusiasm and creative vigor. Dynasty Warriors’ Three Kingdoms premise attracted a vast following after DW2 refined its predecessor’s mechanics back in 2000, and only a handful of Tecmo’s many spin-offs reached similar success. While Dynasty Warriors lingered in the spotlight over the years, their sister series, Samurai Warriors, struggled to attain equal recognition and gameplay finesse. But much like the recently revamped Orochi franchise, Samurai Warriors is finally stepping out of the shadows. With drastically improved visuals and tighter combat, Samurai Warriors 4 has earned the title as Tecmo’s best hack n’ slash to date.
