Warriors Orochi 4 Reviews
Even with these flaws though, Warriors Orochi 4 is still a fun game. It serves its purpose and delivers on what it advertises, giving players a power fantasy experience where they can tear through waves of enemies with the touch of a button. It's an enjoyable Musou title which will keep fans entertained, and takes some small steps forward that future installments could use to great effect.
Warriors Orochi 4 is not a particularly bad game, but it does feel like it's trying its best to innovate on a tired formula, but those new additions might not be enough. Compounded with finicky menus and performance issues, it leaves the game leaving a little bit more to be desired than what it offers currently. And no, that doesn't mean they should add more characters.
Warriors Orochi 4 brings two different series together for a large and content-full musou game that features a solid gameplay and a lot of fan service that will leave dedicated players very satisfied. For all its qualities, Warriors Orochi 4 is not the most accessible game for new players and its visual presentation is somewhat disappointing due the Nintendo Switch technical limitations but that should not stand in the way of exploring this musou celebration.

There's so much potential with Warriors Orochi 4; unfortunately, the latest installment misses the mark on so many of the shots that it takes.
Overall, Warriors Orochi 4 might not do much to break the mold, but it's a lot of fun. With arguably too many characters, new attacks and powers to use, it's a nice twist on the familiar series. Toss in a new foe and a tons of things to level and do and it's hard for fans to say no. Sure, it might not have the best story or stand out in terms of the franchise, but if you're looking for a new Warriors game, this is a solid choice.
Warriors Orochi 4 is the peak of the Warriors formula at the moment and is a a great addition to any fan's collection or even for a curious newcomer.
Warriors Orochi 4 is successful in maintaining the essence of the series while introducing new gameplay mechanics, making it a definite step in the right direction for the evolution of the series.
Offering up a huge selection of characters and content, Warriors Orochi 4 isn't bringing a lot of new ideas, but it is dishing out a very refined and welcoming minor evolution to the tried and tested Warriors formula.
A blast even.
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 is a solid addition to the long history of the Warriors franchises, with more punch than you can shake a bo staff at. Fans of the series will find a lot to sink their teeth into and more than just a little bit to enjoy, but newcomers may have a hard time investing into the series especially after repeated recruitment missions kill the flow of the narrative. Even considering that, it's hard not to feel that a lot of corners have been cut with even some of the most simplistic bugs (such as looping sound at a held button) still making their presence apparent repeatedly in the final version. While flashy animations feel like the newest generation of gaming, the entire system still feels as if it were built on a console from the early 2000s. Fun comes first in this installment of the Warriors franchise titan, but it still feels as if the series is recovering from the blows laden at the feet of Dynasty Warriors 9.
Warriors Orochi 4 doesn't do much to advance the Orochi spin-off, but it does bring a return to the old formula, something fans will no doubt enjoy after Dynasty Warriors 9‘s misstep.
Although 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 or Hyrule Warriors specifically for the franchise tie-ins. And although I don't prefer all of the changes from the previous Warriors Orochi game, they've made just enough to make things fresh for fans of the series and keep them entertained throughout the game's robust campaign.
Warriors Orochi 4 is one of the best Warriors series games with more than 170 warriors, and the Ultimate version makes the gameplay even deeper. However, the updated content is very limited and a little bit expensive. For those gamers who already own Warriors Orochi 4, it doesn't seem worthy.

Do I recommend Warriors Orochi 4? If you are a fan of Musou games, beat em ups or hack-n-slash games, I absolutely recommend picking this game up as soon as possible. I have already poured dozens of hours into it, and I know that I am going to be pouring hundreds more as the days go on.
It's pure fun, and with Warriors Orochi 4, Koei Tecmo has done such a lovely job that I suspect I'll be coming back to it frequently for many years into the future.
However, a few nagging issues keep this sequel from reaching top-tier excellence. The lack of playable Koei Tecmo franchise icons, the passable at best visuals, and an uninteresting plotline knock it down a few notches. Warriors Orochi 4 is the type of Musou release that diehard fans will get a kick out of. As for everyone else who’s grown tired of these types of games, this sequel won’t rekindle your past appreciation for them. Ultimately, Warriors Orochi 4 is still a good time.
I must say that Warriors Orochi 4 is one of the best installment in this unique series. As always, gameplay is the key part in this Franchise and Warriors Orochi 4 provide you with an entertaining and fun gameplay elements that could satisfy you for many hours of playing it. 170 playable characters from Warriors Orochi, Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors series as well as some new characters, create one of the most huge roster in gaming history and meaningly increases the replay value of the game. Although Warriors Orochi 4 has some issues like repetitive level design, weak AI and lack of challenges in many parts of the game, but as a full package, it is a valuable and entertaining game. Warriors Orochi 4 is a must-buy game for fans of 3 mentioned series, and can be a good start for gamers that are new to this type of games.

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 would be other versions of the same game I would recommend more.
