There is actually a neat detail added in the game by limiting the characters to their own special abilities from their respective series. You have fighters from the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors constituting a sizeable part of the character roster.
#Warriors orochi 4 character creation series#
Warriors Orochi 4 is trying to introduce all the cast from other ‘Warriors’ series under one umbrella. In other words, content is not the problem here, but the pacing and execution where Warriors Orochi 4 starts to demonstrate its flaws. The huge character roster is part of the appeal, but it doesn’t help enhance the experience in any meaningful way. I feel like the story could be cut and this could still end up being a decent experience. I have never been a fan of the story in most of the Musou games, and this is no exception here. The story, as usual, is completely bogged down by unnecessary conversations where they don’t add anything meaningful to it. The game, therefore, lacks the appeal of fresh gameplay elements even if it attempts to refine and execute the old formula efficiently, there is no big incentive to try it out as a fan. Keeping a combo chain going is pretty easy now, and doesn’t virtually take skills to achieve this task. The combat system has also undergone some minor but subtle changes which allow you to dish a staggering amount of damage to enemies. The playable cast is just one of the factors that broaden its appeal. Warriors Orochi 4 offers the same hack-and-slash gameplay that you can expect from the Musou genre. This already places it a step above the rest, but there is more to it with trivial changes made to the combat system leading to a more enjoyable experience overall. Technically, it also avoids the usual clutter and lack of polish that was prominent in most of the recent hack-and-slash games. Warriors Orochi 4 is essentially the most feature-rich and complete package released so far. For those who have played other games in the franchise, this seems par for the course. It achieved the record for the number of playable characters in a hack-and-slash video game which is admittedly impressive if you glance at it one way. Warriors Orochi 4 started to made headlines before its release.
