Amazing game. I understand why fans of the series may not like it that much because it's so much different than previous titles, but I think sometimes different isn't always a bad thing. The game is really good, and I already finished it on PS5 when it was released, it's a shame we didn't get an Empire version or something like that. I am waiting for their next SW game. Please Koei I need it ASAP.
6.5/10 OVERALL EXPERIENCE, BUY ONLY ON DEEP SALES Don't mind my limited Steam playtime, I've played this to end on PS5. Samurai Warriors 5 isn't a bad game. It's *fine* on its own. The game can get pretty fun when all cylinders are firing, but that doesn't happen as often as it should. Unfortunately, Samurai Warriors 5 is successor to the Samurai Warriors 4 family of games, which are up there as some of the best games in the Musou series, and SW5 failed to meet expectations. Moving from SW4/4-II/Spirit of Sanada to SW5 feels very jarring. Long refined character movesets were removed in favor of weapon movesets, and characters could swap between weapons, meaning most characters don't really get their own identity. This on its own wouldn't have been a bad change - Dynasty Warriors Origins did the same thing and that game was awesome. The problem is that most of the new movesets kinda just aren't as good compared to their SW4 counterparts. SW5 being a series reboot, a lot of characters got new characterizations and designs. A lot of these are hit or miss. Nobunaga, Mitsuhide, Nohime, and Shingen Takeda are good examples of when the characterization lands. On the other end of the spectrum, there's Tadakatsu Honda, who's just totally unrecognizable and loses all of his presence as a legendary samurai. Most characters fall in between, where I can see the direction the writers were trying to go with them, even if it didn't land well. Ieyasu Tokugawa being a shota with an neesama wife was funny as hell, but it wears off quickly when you get to the end of the game and he's still a shota trying to make a name for himself. The Tokugawa were a powerhouse by that time of the Sengoku period, and he should've grown up alongside Nobunaga. The narrative being mostly focused around Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi is also something that isn't bad on its own, but it definitely could've done with better execution. Unlike Spirit of Sanada, which was a spinoff game, SW5 is a mainline title, and having the game focus almost entirely on Nobunaga and Akechi means leaving out a lot of iconic set pieces like Ueda, Sekigahara, Kawanakajima, Tedorigawa, etc. Now, the battles we did get were mostly pretty well done, I just wished there was more of it to chew on. So, is the game good? Yes. I would say it's good. Not great, but certainly not bad. Is the game worth buying? Yes, I would say it's worth buying, on the condition that it's on sale for 50% or more. There are many Musou games that are worth full price admission. SW5 is not one of them.
Samurai Warriors 5 is a solid pick if you want that classic Musou action without spending a fortune. It runs at about one third the price of Dynasty Warriors Origins during sales and actually launches fine on my PC. With everything maxed out the performance stays smooth and my GPU never even hit full load. No annoying stutters or optimization problems like some other games in the series. Gameplay feels like Dynasty Warriors lite in the best way. You get a big roster of characters to unlock, level up, and mess around with plus plenty of stuff to collect. The battles are fun and chaotic but it does not overstay its welcome or get too repetitive. I really enjoyed tearing through the Sengoku period story and trying out all the different movesets. The new art style looks clean and the whole thing has that satisfying one man army feel. It is not reinventing anything but it polishes the formula nicely and gives you a ton of content for the money. Hours just fly by switching between characters and grinding out upgrades. This review only really holds up at discount prices though because it is way overpriced for a 2021 title at full price. At 40 bucks it feels reasonable especially since it regularly goes for 80 CAD. Overall I had a great time with it and I recommend grabbing Samurai Warriors 5 if you catch it on sale and you are a fan of the series or looking for something straightforward and addictive.
