The best Samurai Warriors game, 2XL was really good but it doesn't hold a candle to this one imo. The storylines and relationships between characters are much more fleshed out. Also, if you end up enjoying this game I very much recommend you also get Spirit of Sanada.

This is a great port! And it has all(most?) of the DLC's! I definitely recommend it! I only wish KT would go back and update some of their older ports released in the last 10 or so years to bring them to this level(Maybe DX-ify DW8 and DW8 Empires too). Here's to hoping for more older ports making it to PC(I wish for Warriors Orochi Z, please)!

Samurai Warriors (SW) 4 DX is the definitive version of the game with all previously released DLCs included in the package. It's a fairly decent PC port that runs pretty well and includes the A and B button swap (for confirmation action on Western and Japanese release) that's usually missing in older Koei-Tecmo ports. One annoying thing about the port is that it doesn't have a borderless window mode and this is one game that will require ALT-TABing often to look up guides. Now, this wouldn't be an issue if ALT-TAB didn't somehow prevent Steam Overlay from working, but unfortunately, it does and is pretty annoying. In terms of gameplay, its combat is clearly differentiated from the Dynasty Warriors (DW) series with the addition of hyper attacks where you can string together strong attacks for combos - it starts with a dash and is used primarily for crowd clearing; due to this addition, the combat action is a lot more fast-paced. SW4DX's combat is also more advanced than the vanilla musou titles yet it still manages to keep the controls simple. You can parry with a just guard for a counter attack and sidestep; using the spirit charge gauge, you can also cancel attacks, break opponent's guard and escape from juggles. I think in terms of combat mechanics across all Koei musou game's I've played, I like this one the most - it's basically some of the weapon type mechanics in DW8 being normalized with polish and additions. You also have 20 slots to create custom characters, which I've found to be really fun. You also have the freedom to re-edit your characters so nothing is locked-in, making it possible to progressive refine your character looks. Musou cinematics switches camera focus to your controlled character and makes it really enjoyable to see how your custom character turned out. One rather disappointing aspect of the game for me though was the lack of the ability to fuse/craft weapons which prevents making the weapon of your choice with the desired elements - it's a big deal because it's too difficult to net a suitable weapon and the rare/DLC weapons are a tad too OP. The story campaign is organized by clans and it tells the stories from their angle, with the Sanada clan (which Yukimura, the series' poster boy, belongs to) being somewhat of a focus. Chronologically, it can get somewhat confusing depending on how familiar you are with the events of Japan's Sengoku Period, which I wasn't and hadn't played earlier SW titles. The story's good as far as Koei musou games go; Sanada's story, especially, is well presented. I just wished they had swapped "Twin Cherry Blossoms" and the more solemn "Petals in the Wind" for Osaka Campaign (Toyotomi) when it's time for Yukimura to do his final charge. As for other game modes, there's the Chronicle Mode for unlocking custom character equipment parts where you play primarily as a custom character of your creation. It's a decent game mode but gets repetitive pretty fast. Nevertheless, you can easily create a new character within the mode and swap around custom characters, making it really fun to make new ones. This is a Koei musou title and ever since DW2, they've always had banger OSTs. Unfortunately, this one falls a little short for me - it didn't include BGMs in the older titles in the series, unlike the trend in newer DW titles. It's still a solid OST with my favourites being "Beginning" (especially this one), "Petals in the Wind" (both versions), "Whirlwind", "Raging Waves" and "Twin Cherry Blossoms"; while not being the most comprehensive, it's become one of my favourite musou OST. It's sad that neither the SW1/2/3 version of "Osaka Castle" is included, only "Osaka Castle (Redux)" as part of DLC (which isn't nearly as good imo); nor any version of the upbeat "Komaki-Nagakute" theme. Performance-wise, it's mostly good. It loads up quickly on HDD and runs smoothly for the most part during gameplay (on my R7 2700X + GTX 1060 6GB at highest settings) with some occasional frame rate drops which are quite trivial. There are occasional audio cut-offs during cutscenes but are pretty minor and doesn't destroy the experience. And, having upgraded recently to an R7 7700 + RTX 4060, I've not encountered any such issues. It's a fun game and I do strongly recommend the game. However, I'd suggest waiting out for a huge sale because it's an old title that is, to put it bluntly, overpriced. Bought the game when it was on 30% off but I wished I had held out for a 50% considering some of my earlier stated points. Regardless, this is shaping up to be my favourite musou title thanks to its combat and presentation. In terms of gameplay offerings, it may be somewhat limited; but it does very well in most of what it offers. PSA: Leave Legend of Sanada to the last when clearing Story mode - save the best for last. And be somewhat gentle with the button mashing, musou games tend to break your controller face buttons really fast. ;)

Some people play Candy Crush, some people play Angry Birds, but Musou games are my comfort food when I just want something to play. I played Samurai Warriors 5 on console as my first game in the series... and I didn't really like it. It just felt lacking in so many ways. Only afterwards did I learn over half of the characters had been cut and the game was massively downsized. Sure Samurai Warriors 5 is significantly better at telling the story of the Warring States period, but that came at a cost of gameplay and longevity, 2 things Samurai Warriors 4 does significantly better. I don't know why Koei finds it so hard to make a Musou game that has a competently told story AND good gameplay... they've proven they can do both individually. Just freaking make Dynasty Warriors 7/Samurai Warriors 5 in presentation, but a combination of Dynasty Warriors 5/Samurai Warriors 4 in gameplay! It is the same story every time, it shouldn't be this hard! D: Hire me and I'll do it for you. lol

Not all Musou games are made the same, despite all of them sharing the overall premise of "kill thousands of popcorn mobs and watch numbers go up." Some are particularly awful like Warriors All-Stars. Some are missteps like DW9, being pulled out of the oven too hastily. And some are just jam-packed full of awesome fun like DW8XL - a delicious pie stuffed with immaculate filling. SW4DX is, quite frankly, a delicious ****ing pie. It's got over 50 playable characters, a truck-ton of named officers to destroy, a heap of story campaigns to go through and loosely explore Japanese history, a campaign for just your own custom character, all the extra costumes, songs, cutscenes and whatever you want. It even has you upgrading your weapons, hunting for gems and booster items, all in the name of getting insanely strong. If a power fantasy is your idea of a good time, look no further than this game - you will go from a limited moveset to doing asinine battle dances in no time, and you get to have fun getting all 50+ characters to peak levels. It sounds like a grind, but it's not a chore because you're spending the entire time mowing down 100s of goldfish poop as you're doing it. You don't even have to think all that hard - just keep using the move you want to get better and it just gets better. And don't get me wrong - it's not completely mindless, either. There's tons of objectives to complete in each scenario and while you can usually ignore them and just keep hacking away at insignificant mobs, truly learning where to be and when to be there to nab all the objectives and their rewards adds a great element to each outing. Not to mention that unlike older Musou games you have played (if you've been out of the loop for a while), you get to bring two characters to each scenario and flip between them on-demand to cover the map. Don't like where the AI is taking your alternate? Give 'em new orders in 2 seconds and make sure they stick to where you want them to be. It's a tactical layer that's fun to mess with. If you've been out of the game for a while and want to hop back in, but see that SW5 or DW9 are out and newer , forget that. Get this or DW8XL. These are top-tier Musou games and some of the most non-sweaty fun you can have. This is Koei having fun and letting you into the room while they do it.
