However, with every pro, there is a con it seems. That’s one thing that should be made very clear about this title, this isn’t the type of game where you just hammer heavy attack for 30 minutes and then you win, it actually takes a bit of finesse to make sure battles are going in your favour.

The combo factor especially really compliments the gameplay as getting rid of mass amounts of baddies isn’t easily done with basic attacks. From where I sit, though, fighting off waves of enemies and pulling off combination attacks feels really good. Now, I’m not sure what the combat was like in Warrior Orochi 3, so I can’t tell if there’s been any massive upgrades. Stepping away from the generalizations though, what about Warrior Orochi 4 specifically stands out? Well, out of everything, I’d say that the combat feels great. The gameplay is smoother, the visuals are prettier, the bosses are as badass as ever, and, my personal favourite, you hit things real hard and it feels satisfying, which I feel is the key ingredient to any hack n’ slash game. The result being, quite a fair bit actually. Basic math errors aside, having only ever played the first game myself, I was interested to see how much had changed in this crossover series over time. Also, no, you didn’t read that wrong, Warrior Orochi 4 is the fifth game in the series ( Musou Orochi Z counts). Warrior Orochi 4, for those who aren’t sure, is the fifth installment of the Warrior Orochi series published by Koei Techmo. Why am I saying all this? Because Warrior Orochi 4 is a game that’s not my cup of tea. Since then, I’ve continued to be professional and open-minded when it comes to games that may not be my cup of tea, so that I can deliver a fair review when all is said and done. It was one of the first titles that I reviewed where I hated the type of game it was, but still found reasons to give it a fair assessment regardless.

Way back in the distant year of 2016 (perhaps a bit dramatic, but oh well), I did a review on a game called Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence. Reviews // 20th Feb 2019 - 3 years ago // By Ethan Butterfield Warrior Orochi 4 Review
