Samurai Warriors 4 was my gateway drug into Sengoku History. It's a fantastic tool for getting a foot in the door for learning history, seeing as it helps tremendously in putting faces to names. It's a lot easier to read history books when you can actually imagine Evil Markiplier, Chimp the Pimp and Fat Badger as the people in question. This is less relevant now thanks to the influx of excellent Sengoku media such as Nioh and the newer Nobunaga's Ambition games. 4 is fantastic for clan and regional history, and 4-2 great for character building (such as role playing Mitsunari). Spirit of Sanada is a fantastic beast of it's own and you get to see the way history would have looked to a person who lived through it (i.e. A samurai who lived in Kai during the 1560s-1600s). I loved 4 so much that I made a point of speedrunning it. I lost all my KZbin videos a while back, but I once held all twelve records as well as a special 64-stage chronological order playthrough that totalled 11 hours. It's still on my twitch if anyone cares. Having platinumed all the SW4 gen games, I highly recommend playing them. I highly discourage completing them, however - warriors games are a grind to complete. But a casual player who enjoys the history of the period will have a fantastic time. 50 bucks is a bit dear even accounting for DLC, so I'd wait for a sale or just recommend buying it on PS4 for cheap if it's an option. Excellent video, mate. Sums up my opinions on the SW4 gen and franchise, especially SW2 remakes.

It’s funny. I picked up Spirit Sanada randomly a couple of months ago since I skipped it. Then started replaying 4 and found this channel while wanting to learn more about the real history. Samurai Warriors 4 is still a fun game. This generation of Samurai 4, Dynasty Warriors 8 and Warriors Orochi 3/4 on PS4 may be the peak of these games for me. Story telling was more interesting and the number of characters and move sets gave you countless hours of fun. I hope Koei can go back to and expand on this winning formula.

I preordered Samurai Warriors 4 Special Anime pack for PS4. The anime was whateves. I remember playing mostly on the Vita becuz of the remote play option. The the Twin Cherry Blossom OST was badass. Nobuyuki was basically Cao Pi with a less mean personality and Charge attack spam. A lot of the game was overshadowed by Spirit of the Sanada which by far is the best SW game to date. But nothing beats the PS2 memories of the SW1 Kawanakajima battle drum OST with Yukimura leading the pincer attack.

This is going to sound creepy AF, but I feel like you and I would be good friends if we were in the same social circle. Samurai Warriors is my favorite console-based game series (second only to the Baldur’s Gate series overall), Empires is easily the biggest time-sink for me in any Samurai/Dynasty generation, and SW4/4-II is the best in the whole series, though personally I favor SW4E thanks to my love for original PCs. I can respect Koei for trying something new with SW5, but nearly all of my favorite characters crop up later in the timeline, in particular Mitsunari, Masamune, and Nene (though Motochika, at least, was a contemporary of Nobunaga and Mitsuhide). At this point, I wish we would get something, at least, given that it's been awhile since SW5. We haven't even gotten anything related to Dynasty Warriors or Warriors Orochi, and given how prolific Omega Force usually is about these games, I am deeply concerned for all of their futures. Hopefully this remaster will serve to remind many people of just how much fun the series and its sister series really are, and turn prompt Koei Tecmo to continue adding to the legacy of these legendary periods in history.

My introduction to the KoeiWarriors games was Dynasty Warriors 3 and have owned every game since and have develed into the history a lot. And am currently doing the same with Samurai Warriors as a Xbox fan we haven't gotten one since 2. So I got a PS4 it's literally Warriors console as that's why I have it. Like Nintendo with pokemon. Samurai Warriors 4 is probably the most emotion out of me a Warriors game has. And that emotion being a dislike for Tokugawa Leyasu especially after Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Maeda Toshiie die. The friendship that Mitsunari Yukimura and Kanatsugu have throughout the game I love and I see Leyasu as something wanting to destroy this purely for his own selfish reasons. As Masayuki says in spirit of sanada using the dead as justification doesn't sit right with me. Sekigahara becomes for me the most iconic battle and is for me the most emotional for me and I always look forward to this battle and not at the same time to see how it's portrayed. Both Dynasty and Samurai warriors have their moments I look forward to seeing how it's done. Be it the fire attack at Chi Bi, Liu Bei reaction to the death of his sworn brothers or wu Zhang plains. I really enjoy the more emotional more historical games. But for Sekigahara everything Is done so well the music is my favorite iteration for the western army especially. The issues between Mitsunari and the Shimazu. Sakon Yoshitsugu and Mitsunari relationship before and during the battle. The betrayal of Kobyakawa every is just done so well.

However empires was my favourite out of the bunch as that is also the Samurai Warriors game i spent the most time on. The playtime on that is way overshadowed by Nobunaga's Ambition though! (Both SOI and Awakening)

@absolutelygunshi 5 ай бұрын

The SW series gave me a mixed feelings regarding their potrayal of Mitsunari, which makes me like and sympathize with the man a little. You know, compared to his historical counterpart and potrayal in most other media - the manipulative magistrate is how I defined him in my mind, it's kinda weird seeing him as this heroic and tragic figure lol (of course, this is just a personal nitpick) On a sidenote, I actually like how SW5 does things in terms of how detailed the campaign are. It really puts into perspective on how much Nobunaga had to overcome. The previous games always skimmed his pre-Honnoji campaign when there's a lot to tell. I'm currently replaying SW4 in PC and I was surprised that they combined the battle against Saito (Inabayama) with the Rokkaku (March to the Capital); and combined Azai (Odani) with the anti-Nobunaga coalition, and so on. Heck, I don't think they even had a storyline with Nobuyuki in the previous games. But yeah, I agree that it's unfortunate that they didn't expand and capitalize on it. Maybe it was the mixed reviews, but I feel like it's something that can be overturned by making a continuation Hideyoshi-Ieyasu story game or even an empire version with a more detailed map of center Japan. The way they did Hideyoshi's campaign against the Mori in SW 5 deserves some praises (Kizugawaguchi, Arioka where Kanbei was held captice by Murashige, Kozuki with Shikanosuke, Takamatsu Inundation), so it's only natural to pick up the story from there.

2XL is my favorite game in the SW franchise, and will probably be so for a long time. But 4 is undoubtedly a brilliant game, with good storytelling, great new characters, and above all, the wonderful music. I used to play the Sanada story over and over again just to hear Petals in the Winds. That song is a classic. Hope we'll see a SW6 soon, and that one will also be a banger 😊 That said, one think I don't really like about 4 is the Hyper moveset. Yeah it helps clearing troops much easier, but it's so "unmusou-like", and the Hyper-focused characters are often underwhelming (My boy Nobuyuki is sooooo much worse than his brother ít's not even funny xD)

SW4 definitely has the best story I've seen in a Warriors game. Dynasty Warriors 7 is a close second though. But I agree with you on how the smaller regional campaigns do a great job building up to the larger unification campaign. It's why I'm kind of concerned about SW6 immediately jumping into Hideyoshi's story without establishing the other clans. Anyways, I nabbed this and Ghost of Tsushima for the Steam Deck so it's going to be a busy weekend.

@mandude123go9 5 ай бұрын

In my opinion, SW4 Has surpassed SW2 both in quality as well as being the best entry point to the franchise, i am certainly glad that it is released on steam for more players to enjoy. For me, 50 dollars is a bit much and i will 100% get it when its on sale since i already have it on my ps4. In terms of the future of the franchise, i really dont know where i would like them to go. The overall ideas in 5 are amazing and its great to see the story being the focus as well the characters interacting more with each other, but it feels too small now. It would have been great if they released a dlc or expansion that focused on tbe other regions at the same time of Nobunaga's reign, like Shikoku or Kyushu. If they will follow the same format as 5 for 6, then i assume its going to be Hideyoshi's reign, which is much more events/incidents than nobunaga's, my cope is that they arent announcing anything because they are in developement for it.

I enjoyed using Kotaru Fuma in 2: Empires.

As a big Warriors fan, I really forget them until this news, probably because of recent titles flops (DW 9 and SW 5). Where are DW 10 and SW 6? For the SW 4 DX, I already have all four game of SW 4 saga. SW 4, SW 4ii, SW 4 Empires and Spirit of Sanada. Spirit of Sanada has best content, SW 4ii has best skills three, SW 4 has best story and SW 4 Empire is best at everything overall. I think SW 4ii improved skill system from SW 4 but combat is perfected in Spirit of Sanada. I think Koei made a big mistake not continueing Spirit of Sanada's aproch. They kinda did it but rebooting character designs kinda alienated fandom. SW 4 Empire is just perfect, My favorite Warriors game among the entire Warriors franchise. They should implement its setting to next Empire titles. Maybe only feature they could add should be single officer road from DW8 Empire. A Vagabond mode could be cool.

Making the characters in other modes was fun, and I also liked to play as factions and clans instead of individual characters stories, just like they did in DW7. It was a decent way to keep expanding the number of character without making the stories repetitive, and allowed to focus on less-famous, but still amazing battles, like the Shimazu campaing. I got iffed that II was released, I never have the $ to buy those, and overall I don't have GREAT memories of 4, but it made me happy at the time at least.
