    Overall, Samurai Warriors 5 is another solid entry in the long-running series, but does not do much to bring in new players, as it still has that repetitive nature and simplistic mission design that the series has been known for. This is more for existing fans to have another game to confidently enjoy, but the cross over function with the game modes does make the initial hours a slow burn before it opens up all the good stuff.

    A very, very traditional musô ... but nevertheless successful. Admittedly, its cel-shadding remains an obvious make-up for a dated technique, but it also causes a reinforced Japanese atmosphere and some appreciable graphic effects; Likewise, the repetitiveness of its missions is an obvious black point but is compensated by a diversity of characters and interesting gameplay, and this despite the criticized reduction of its cast.

    Samurai Warriors 5 renounces to amaze its audience, offering instead the same old gameplay of the series that gets very repetitive very soon. Those looking for the classic one-on-a-thousand Musou action will have bread for their teeth, however.

    Samurai Warriors 5 won’t shock anyone who’s played one of Omega Force’s Warriors games before, but it does present a great new style and enough over-the-top action to keep you coming back.

    Samurai Warriors 5 runs well and has a solid story presentation, but it's barely different from the last entry in terms of gameplay, save for having less than a third of the movesets.

    Samurai Warriors 5 is a good musou with an astonishing presentation, good visuals, nice voice acting and some new elements in its combat that fits perfectly in the formula we all know. [Recommended]

But the story and gameplay where very boring, I always feel like i am doing the same thing every time I play the game. I wish they where something else to do in the game to do cause it felt painful to play after 5 hours . Again the game looks very pretty but not pretty fun.… Full Review »
