It would be helpful to have save points in each battle.

It's utterly frustrating to fight for twenty minutes, miss an important update, and then lose the battle only to restart at the beginning. Since these orders are given in Japanese with English subtitles, players must fight enemies while trying to read important updates that change the course of battle.

On top of that, every battle has numerous interruptions that direct players to tackle certain objectives (defeat this enemy, move to this area and defend it, etc…). Sure, it's cool to choose one main and one sub character to fight each battle and freely switch between them, but participating in button-mashing battles that last thirty minutes or longer is hard on the brain and the fingers. I say “helps” because there really isn't much else to keep players going unless they have a strong desire to unlock the large roster of characters. Fortunately, most of the characters have colorful personalities and vastly different fighting styles, which helps to propel players onward. While I appreciate having a bit of actual history thrown in, some of the scenario intros are extremely bland and beg to be skipped.

Rather than focusing on large groups during wartime, the scenarios follow individual characters and reveals their motivations and reactions toward a life of war. Samurai Warriors 4-II continues this tradition by introducing 13 scenarios loosely based on 16th- and 17th-century feudal Japan. Koei Tecmo created the "musou" genre, and I've always appreciated how most of these games are based on historical conflicts. Now Samurai Warriors 4-II has been released, and while it improves upon SW4, it still suffers from incredibly repetitive combat and not enough motivation to finish the adventure. Back in 2004, Dynasty Warriors spawned an offshoot by the name of Samurai Warriors, but they're basically the same series pumped out by the same publisher. However, unlike myself, the series hasn't aged well.

Prepare yourself for endless slaughter and achy fingers!Īt the risk of showing my true age, I readily admit to playing the first few Dynasty Warriors games when they were first released on the original PlayStation.
