This has to be the best and most satisfying Warriors game I have played since DW8 (as DW9 was an absolute car-crash). Everything you want toThis has to be the best and most satisfying Warriors game I have played since DW8 (as DW9 was an absolute car-crash). Everything you want to see in a good Warriors game is here.The graphics are not anything spectacular for a Warriors game and likely won't be blowing any minds, but they work well. I was impressed that the framerate did not suffer badly with the amount of enemies on-screen. The only bizarre thing I noticed was the way enemies would often charge at me uniformly in a zig-zag manner, which may or may not have been intentional. What I particularly enjoyed was seeing an impressive cast of characters and their well-created models.The game of WO4U is probably my favourite gameplay so far. I really enjoyed having multiple methods of combining attacks, from charge attack and magic attacks. Add to this the ability to rotate between three characters on the battlefield and I never got bored of smashing heads. I also really enjoyed abilities such as being able to ride around the field on a literal wave, smashing through enemies as I went. This kind of eccentric and crazy combat is what Warriors is famous for and I hope it never changes.Although the campaign largely revolves around "go here and beat X", this is precisely why we play DW. Beating up enemies by the thousands has never been more enjoyable for me. Being able to upgrade my character like an RPG became incredibly satisfying. The downside of this is at many characters are not unlocked until later in the game, so you have to repeat old missions for XP which can be a bit repetitive since Lu Bu etc. are not unlocked until very late in the game.One notable flaw in the gameplay flow is the dialogue. Subtitles disappear during certain actions such as unity magic, meaning you can miss out on little bits of the story. A similar issue is with unlocking doors, as the game leads you to believe this hinges on defeating enemies, but is usually achieved once the dialogue after beating an enemy is complete, meaning any overkill attacks can see you standing still for a good 30 seconds waiting for a conversation to end and a door to open. It's not a huge problem, just a mild annoyance.The story of WO4U is enjoyable but voluntary in the sense that you can engage as little or as much as you want, which is a very good way to have a story for me. I played through seven chapters, which generally saw an overarching bad guy in each chapter to beat at the end before they join you going forward. WO4U also has the advantage of going beyond traditional DW lore and includes Greek mythology characters such as Zeus so it captures your interest a bit more and it's quite humorous to see the exchanges of dialogue between such characters.Overall, WO4U is exactly what we need after the exalting disappointment of a car-crash that was DW9. Having said that, I would also like to highlight the continued terrible practice of the publishers, as WO4U is the game WO4 should have been at launch. There is not need for two versions of the game at full price, so the score has been impacted for this. If you love Warriors, you should love this too, regardless. Just make sure to avoid the base version.

If you’ve already played and enjoyed Orochi 4 itself, the Ultimate expansion makes everything better. The only downside is the asking price ($39.99) for existing owners of the game is a bit high for an add-on, but…you really do get a lot for the money. If you’re a fan and you haven’t already bought this, it is a worthwhile purchase. If you are more casually interested in Warriors stuff, maybe wait for a sale….but still get it. It won’t disappoint you with many more hours of mook-smooshing fun.
