    In the end, Samurai Warriors 4-II is yet another Musou entry out of a dozen or so that hit every year. However, these button-mashing brawlers can still provide hours of entertainment for players who want to turn their brains off and enjoy some over-the-top action.

    Samurai Warriors 4-II, as a remake of a title released just a year ago, for the few new contents introduced, is disappointing. Considering it as musou, however, is fun despite the repetitive gameplay.

    Samurai Warriors 4-II was a fun game to play at first, but it eventually became mind-numbingly repetitive.

    Omega Force has become a machine at crafting these, and for those not yet tired of the setting, there is still a copious amount of fun to be had here.

    Samurai Warriors 4, title released a year ago that served to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Musou games based in feudal Japan, receives the first of its two expansions. SW 4 II is what once was known as Xtreme Legends, and includes interesting news as a new set of skills and enhanced survival mode.

    For owners of the original release, a fifteen to twenty dollar DLC expansion option would have gone a long way to selling this, but it’s a worthy purchase for everybody else.

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

    Tons of new game modes and playable changes refresh the classic Samurai Warriors 4 hack´n slash formula.

    Samurai Warriors 4-II isn’t a horrible game by any means, but the game just doesn’t quite entice the gamers of today to venture through its trials.

    Samurai Warriors 4-11 bases itself on one of the best possible Warriors games, and therefore its core gameplay is of undeniable quality. It’s a great game by all accounts. However, most of what makes it great was sold to us a year ago, so while there’s still a ton of fun to be had, I am not going to be singing its praises a second time.

    Little effort was conveyed in the new edition of Samurai Warriors 4. Fans of the genre could still consider this one, but there are far more interesting musous out there.

    Samurai Warriors 4-II isn't a bad game, but it will only appeal to gamers who long to play lengthy battles where mindless button-mashing trumps strategy and variety.

    For fans that missed out on the original release, this is the version to get. The hack-n-slash style of gameplay might not be suitable for everyone’s taste, but the game is still fun in short bursts.

    As repetitive as Musou games can be, this one is even worse because of its lack of relevant new features.

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...    … Full Review »

Nothing you would call home to your mom about but it is a good solid game. This isn't the type of game you would want to spend hours on end playing unless you are trying to get the platinum, but it is the type of game you would throw on with a friend and have some mindless fun. I rate this a 6.5 (I'll round it up to 7), which isn't a bad rating, its just that the combat can get pretty repetitive and the item system feels a bit pointless after a bit, but this isn't a huge problem because its not a game you would want to waste an entire day playing. Overall this is the type of game you dont want to spend your whole paycheck on, but if you have a little money on the side, go for it.… Full Review »
