    Samurai Warriors 5 is a beautiful looking hack-and-slash game with a great story loosely based on historical events and characters. Add in a crazy amount of customisation and replayability this is a must-play title!

    Samurai Warriors 5 represents the state of the art of the Musou genre: a game with divisive mechanics, yet refined and ready to give hours of fun to those who can appreciate this long-lived series. The others are unlikely to change their minds, although a demo is available on all platforms that I recommend you try.

    Samurai Warriors 5, another Musou game developed by Omega Force in recent times, is perfectly executed, but seems too conservative compared to Persona 5 Strikers or Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. The gameplay is very enjoyable and animations are polished, but I wish the missions were staged in a more interesting and creative way. However, after many years and countless Warriors installments the core of the game still works fine. [10/2021, p.66]

    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 »
