And honestly, that’s alright because it works as it sure is fun to play through.A sensation in its home country of Japan, and a cult hit in other countries, Koei’s Musou series is an amalgamation of real time strategy and frantic, beat-em-up style action. As mentioned earlier, Samurai Warriors 4-II doesn’t truly fit the role of a sequel, nor an expansion, but it acts more like an alternate version of Samurai Warriors 4.
DOES SAMURAI WARRIORS 4 II CHARACTERS UPGRADE
Nonetheless, even if you have played though Samurai Warriors 4, there are still great things for you to experience like the story mode, survival mode, and revamped upgrade system. The music is enjoyable as well with a bunch of modernized traditional Japanese music that does wonders for setting the mood when fighting on the battlefield.Īll in all, Samurai Warriors 4-II holds up extremely well on its own however, when compared to Samurai Warriors 4, it might not be as extraordinary especially money wise. As for the sound, Japanese is the only language available for the voice acting, but I wouldn’t have it any other way as it emulates and creates the realism of the historical figures in Feudal Japan. The gameplay is still extremely smooth with no evident drop in framerate, which stuns me seeing how many bodies I see flying and getting thrown across the screen. It’s a nice revamp that makes things much more efficient and less of a time waster.Īmongst the things that haven’t changed, the game still looks great visually, but it doesn’t show any immense improvements from Samurai Warriors 4. It’s all done through a honeycomb grid-like field in which when a piece is unlocked, the pieces connected to it will be revealed for you to also unlock. Abilities can be unlocked by having your character at the required level and also by having the correct amount and type of Strategy Tomes. Meanwhile, you obtain new abilities through Strategy Tomes that can be bought or picked up as drops on the battlefield. It’s much more straightforward and flexible then methods used in the past, as whatever weapon or mount you obtain can easily be used to improve another one of your choosing. This also extends to the upgrading of mounts in which you fuse/combine horses (as weird as that sounds).
The upgrade system has steered itself away from using gems and now simply allows for the fusing/combining of the same type of weapon to level them up and inherit special features. Upgrading weapons and mounts, as well as obtaining new abilities, have all been revamped in a way that actually works in its favour. Thus, the character you do create can only be used in “Free Mode” or the newly added “Survival Mode”.Īnother main change from Samurai Warriors 4 is the upgrade system. Nonetheless, if you don’t like any of the characters, you can just make your own character however, unlike Samurai Warriors 4, 4-II does not include “Chronicle Mode” where you can use your created character to take requests from in-game characters. Although the game is already entertaining enough when you tackle it solo, having a co-op partner by your side makes it unique as the chapters usually focus on one main character and their close companion. It’s also easy to pick out the characters you love amongst the ones you hate, as there is a whole range of types personalities within the cast of characters. It’s quite entertaining to learn about the characters as it gives the game a more personal feel. _ “Samurai Warriors 4-II holds up extremely well on its own however, when compared to Samurai Warriors 4, it might not be as extraordinary especially money wise.”
