Your team always consists of three characters between which you can switch effortlessly with the press of a button. Warriors Orochi 4 is a hack and slash game where you fight your way through a horde of enemies to defeat bosses and capture bases. Not that this is the biggest worry, as the sounds of slicing and slashing an enemy army to pieces can be quite satisfying. The music too is fast-paced and exciting, though sometimes it gets slightly drowned out by the sound effects during gameplay. A lot of the voice actors are well-known in the anime community and their experience shines through in the delivery of lines, recognizable even if you don’t speak the language. The biggest shoutout in the sound department goes to the amazing cast this game has. The maps your battles take place on are also impressively big and even while being surrounded by a hundred enemies the animation stays smooth with no discernible frame drops. While the hundreds of common soldiers sent your way may look like the world’s biggest collection of identical twins, the main characters and bosses have some really cool designs with giant weapons and colorful armor that might not be entirely historically accurate but do look like they fit the more wacky settings and plot from the game. Warriors Orochi 4 stays as good looking as we’re used to from this franchise, with especially the character designs standing out between the chaos. Combined with the fact that some preexisting knowledge of the lore and characters is required to follow along, it can be tricky for those unfamiliar to get pulled into the plot. But a lot of it also crops up during the battles itself and sometimes it can be hard to concentrate and make sure you catch it all if you’re too busy slicing an army to pieces or even fighting a boss. When this dialogue appears before or after a level, it’s easy to follow. The story is conveyed usually through dialogue and the occasional cutscene. New alliances are formed as a race begins to keep these powerful bracelets from falling into the wrong hands.
Persues steals the eight Ouroboros bracelets his father Zeus has made, which grant the wearer a godlike power and as is to be expected, they end up scattered across the land and pulling all our characters back into an adventure where different factions arise who all want to collect the bracelets. Their relative peace gets disturbed almost immediately when Zeus pulls them into the same dimension again.
As the opening cutscene explains, all the characters have been returned to their rightful universe and have forgotten their previous strange adventure, meaning they have also forgotten each other for now. Warriors Orochi 4 takes place almost immediately after the events of the previous game.
In February of this year, the game was updated and re-released as Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate, featuring extra levels, new characters and some other perks that are sure to please any fan of this Hack and Slash classic.

As this series is a crossover between Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, a lot of fans from either of those games were more than pleased to experience a new adventure featuring their favorite characters and we even reviewed the game ourselves here. Back in 2018, Koei Tecmo continued the rather complicated story of Warriors Orochi in a fourth installment.
