Summary

Samurai Warriors 4-II is a hack and slash game and the enhanced version of the original Samurai Warriors 4. It is described as neither a continuation nor an Xtreme Legends expansion like previous games; instead, it provides a "different" focus of the same game. Players choose a character as their protagonist for a selected scenario, which has a different progression depending on the character selected. Dream Castle Mode, first introduced in Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 3 is also present in the game. The game adds one new character, Naomasa Ii, to the character roster.

There is a dearth of games like this on PC and this is a fairly competent port technically, though it suffers from a total lack of mouse control similar to Devil May Cry 4.Coming from Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes on the PS3, the action and characterizations of the various warlords here are considerably less over the top, though still pretty silly in their own right. If you have no previous experience with either series, imagine Japan's warring states period reimagined as a shonen-esque martial arts anime. Characters wear flamboyant garb, yell their attack names out and have inexplicble magic-like abilities. One of the characters is even a straight-up sorceress.Like other Mosou games and games with similar elements of many, many levels and collectible items like the Naval Ops series on PS2, the Choro-Q games, or Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Phantom Pain, SW 4-II is an incredibly dense experience. There are multiple five-level story campaigns, a range of difficulties, weapons and horses to collect, dozens of characters, a free mode where you can use any character in any story level, support for custom characters with the ability to import images from your hard drive to use as symbols, and a survival mode with no less then a hundred floors, and associated one-off challenge levels. If you enjoy the core gameplay enough, you will find many, many hours to spend here. If not, you will likely find it bland and repetitive, as there are certainly games out there with more variety.I only wish someone would make a Musou-style game set in either Warhammer universe, or something.

Bad optimization (I'm OK with keys, just change some keys and it's quite good on keyboard, but unstable FPS and key command delay turns quiteBad optimization (I'm OK with keys, just change some keys and it's quite good on keyboard, but unstable FPS and key command delay turns quite fun game in to worst), as always game is emulated and not ported (game is not cheap and do such things is swindle), no English voice acting (in cutscenes OK, no problem, but in the middle of the combat you should or fight or read), also for so expensive game it's really big -, you can lose not because you play bad or didn't do objective, but because game says so (shortly there are many things that you can't affect, but that can make you lose), too much ESC and Spacebar push even to start game, minimum 22 times you should push enter and spacebar to start fighting.
