    This is what Warriors Orochi 4 should've been when the game launched.

    The title offers an even better and deeper character customization than WO3 offered. Promotions are back, upgrade stones are back, character stats cap are lifted, skill trees are expanded, players can craft weapons, etc. The game simply just offers a lot of stuff to do and a lot of ways to upgrade your characters.

    The story has been expanded, new characters have been, added and an extra game mode similar to what WO3 makes a come back through the "infinity" mode.

    The game is extremely fun gameplay wise and yes while it will get repetitive is addictive enough to offer plenty of replayability due to the ridiculous amount of playable characters.

    People seem to score this game much worse than the vanilla version and truth be told I can't even exactly blame them for doing it but frankly speaking it's unfair.

    This game doesn't require a previous purchase of the vanilla version and the only reason it sucks is if you bought the vanilla version on release for 60 euros and now having to upgrade for another 40 but if you judge this game on its own there's no way this game is worse off than the vanilla version.

    Frankly speaking this is the most fun Warriors game up to date and if you are a fan of this franchise or of this type of game than by all means this game will not disappoint.    … Expand

    Everything works as expected. Fans of the genre and games will love it, detractors will hate it.

    I am not a fan of how these miso games and Japanese fighter games release different version after different version to suck every penny out of the consumer . That said this is for me the best musou I ever made in my opinion. Heaps of movies and characters endless combinations of attacks absolutely gorgeous characters. My favourite m USO game to date

    The hardness and challenge for this game its the biggest part of it its away from the game. 2 of my favourite Characters are Gracia and Toshie Maeda why? Because of the work the voice actors put on samurai warriors 2 xl. So its to note how on such a bloated playable roster they still put the effort to give the character that it factor made you fall in love with it many years ago.

    The musou games shines on the design of the characters and this time are not different. The gods are just as godly as you would expect. And even the story tries to respect they personalities and traits.
    And then you become super saiyan. Warriors games have kind of a funny curve, sometimes, even most times i would say you have to totally max out the character to it even survive on chaos. Samurai warrios 2 xl on expert its a trial very few youtubers try out even to this date. This time you totally stomp pandemonium like its tuesday. Since you can pick elements for the weapon one by one and really easily on chaos, you will have god like characters with only the 3 weapon. Although its not chaos or pandemonium are easy. Most enemies can one shot you but you have so much firepower they all die before touching you.
    Customize a character is fun too, very few characters are perfect, so to build them into literal god killers is fun too.    … Expand

    For players who have yet to pick up the game, it’s hard to beat the value provided in this package. That said, it’s safe to say that this is for genre fans only — this game scratches a very specific itch, and not everyone will want to scratch it.

    In the end, Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is a mediocre Musou title. The action of wiping out giant hordes of enemies is exhilarating at first and the gameplay is rather polished but unfortunately, that's all there is to it and there's no feeling of escalation.

    There is quite frankly an overwhelming amount of content in Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate – while those upgrading from the base game may find it difficult to justify the cost outside of Infinity Mode, there’s no question that anybody tossing up between the base Orochi 4 and Ultimate at this point should absolutely go with the latter.
