    It has to be said I was excited about this game coming out.
    As the PC is finally having a steady stream of decent mousou games being released.I have played every mousou in existence. I can safely say this is one of the more complete samurai warriors games I have played.

    Pros
    Online/Offline coop
    360 controller works aoutomaticaally
    Decent Graphics 60fps

    Cons
    Objectiveky Graphics for me have improved from dw8 on the PC but theystill have a little way to get to ps4.
    Promps are given in keybourd keys lol madness I cant and never wwill understand playin a mousou game wih keybourd and mouse which to be honest is borderline bonkers playing a mousou game with a keybppur and mouse

    In conclusion if you are a fan of mousu games this is a must have in your PC collection.
    Music is great, Graphics areacceptable and enough battles to consume a good few hours.

    Its the FREAKING-15+-TH version and they still CAN'T figured out that an 3d action game in pc need to support a freaking mouse and properly key interface showing, i honestly cant tell whats this devs thinking, even the smallest they cant do, then what else they can upgrade their game?

    Gameplay is almost nothing different than the last 8 version in DW, even those solder is nothing    Its the FREAKING-15+-TH version and they still CAN'T figured out that an 3d action game in pc need to support a freaking mouse and properly key interface showing, i honestly cant tell whats this devs thinking, even the smallest they cant do, then what else they can upgrade their game?

    Gameplay is almost nothing different than the last 8 version in DW, even those solder is nothing different over those years, the only maybe noticable is that they add some more characters each year, but they are completely not balance and some is really crappy, also have no real special thing between them

    Its already bad, not worth 50$ , and DLC is over priced, and they said Western is no appreciated their game    … Expand

    Bad optimization (I'm OK with keys, just change some keys and it's quite good on keyboard, but unstable FPS and key command delay turns quite fun game in to worst), as always game is emulated and not ported (game is not cheap and do such things is swindle), no English voice acting (in cutscenes OK, no problem, but in the middle of the combat you should or fight or read), also for soBad optimization (I'm OK with keys, just change some keys and it's quite good on keyboard, but unstable FPS and key command delay turns quite fun game in to worst), as always game is emulated and not ported (game is not cheap and do such things is swindle), no English voice acting (in cutscenes OK, no problem, but in the middle of the combat you should or fight or read), also for so expensive game it's really big -, you can lose not because you play bad or didn't do objective, but because game says so (shortly there are many things that you can't affect, but that can make you lose), too much ESC and Spacebar push even to start game, minimum 22 times you should push enter and spacebar to start fighting.… Expand

    I honestly haven't played every Samurai Warriors episodes, but this edition is easily one of the best Musou (Dynasty Warriors-like) i ever played. The gameplay is nice and very addictive despite the repetitiveness due to the genre, the musics and Japanese feudal style (Sengoku era) are awesome and if the graphics are not amazing, the framerate runs at a smooth 60 fps with no tearing onI honestly haven't played every Samurai Warriors episodes, but this edition is easily one of the best Musou (Dynasty Warriors-like) i ever played. The gameplay is nice and very addictive despite the repetitiveness due to the genre, the musics and Japanese feudal style (Sengoku era) are awesome and if the graphics are not amazing, the framerate runs at a smooth 60 fps with no tearing on PS4, even with hundreds of ennemis on screen. If you wanna kick thousand of asses while leveling up cool characters with variety of weapons and cool abilities, take a look at this game.

    What's new compared to Samurai Warriors 4 ?

    - There is a new character added to the 55 already available (yeah, just one, but a really nice one)
    - A brand new story mode more focused on characters
    - The Chronicle mode has been replaced by a cool Endless Castle mode, including Survival and Challenge modes
    - You can merged mounts and weapons to create better ones
    - New experience grid system to increase your attributes
    - A full character creation mode, from A to Z
    - On-line coop for all modes
    - Few other improvements like IA, visual effects...    … Expand

    I'm quite fond of Musou-type games and Samurai Warriors 4-II is no exception. There is a dearth of games like this on PC and this is a fairly competent port technically, though it suffers from a total lack of mouse control similar to Devil May Cry 4.

There is a dearth of games like this on PC and this is a fairly competent port technically, though it suffers from a total lack of mouse control similar to Devil May Cry 4.

    Coming from Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes on the PS3, the action and characterizations of the various warlords here are considerably less over the top, though still pretty silly in their own right. If you have no previous experience with either series, imagine Japan's warring states period reimagined as a shonen-esque martial arts anime. Characters wear flamboyant garb, yell their attack names out and have inexplicble magic-like abilities. One of the characters is even a straight-up sorceress.

    Like other Mosou games and games with similar elements of many, many levels and collectible items like the Naval Ops series on PS2, the Choro-Q games, or Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Phantom Pain, SW 4-II is an incredibly dense experience. There are multiple five-level story campaigns, a range of difficulties, weapons and horses to collect, dozens of characters, a free mode where you can use any character in any story level, support for custom characters with the ability to import images from your hard drive to use as symbols, and a survival mode with no less then a hundred floors, and associated one-off challenge levels. If you enjoy the core gameplay enough, you will find many, many hours to spend here. If not, you will likely find it bland and repetitive, as there are certainly games out there with more variety.

    I only wish someone would make a Musou-style game set in either Warhammer universe, or something.    … Expand

    Solid character creator and decent gameplay has lead this to be one of my most played musuo games. The poor graphics holds the game back and the title doesn't have the staying power for prolonged gameplay.

    In short, Samurai Warriors 4-II is another game in the series that will be lots of fun if you like fighting massive mobs with a cast of different characters including some of your own custom characters.

    Thankfully for Samurai Warriors 4-II, the core of the game works well enough that despite its flaws it’s still a very, very fun game.

    Samurai Warriors 4-II introduces a new character and some minor changes, but it's still one of the best musou around.
