The only problem western gamers will have while doing this is that while that is happening, there is a running commentary of “banter” going on between both sides’ officers. It’s very exciting, high octane, energetic entertainment. Playing the game with this in mind changes the angle of your attack in that you see the playing field differently. No, it’s about crowd control, combo building, to get from one point on the map to the next and find the most excessive and enjoyable way to dispatch the horde and overcome the boss fights in the process. That being said, it’s not about just defeating enemies and button mashing your way to the end, rinse, repeat. To say that this style of over-the-top combat is excessive, hilarious fun would be an understatement, and herein lies what some gamers don’t sometimes “get” about Musou-style games. Fill up all of your characters’ gauges, press both L2 and R2 together and the entire party of 6 (3 playable and 3 support) form together in a cut-scene to unleash a massive, devastating nuclear bomb spell that obliterates anything with sight. There are some enemies in the field of battle that can only be defeated by using magic attacks, and so, as fun as they are to use, and although it’s not too difficult to fill the magical gauge back up, it’s best to let your party use them sparingly, saving the lion’s share for when these magical enemies appear.ĭefeating a magical enemy drops a tear-shaped item that, when collected, allows the player to go into a “rage” mode in which they are incredibly powerful and immune to damage, and for a short period of time, can go on a rampage.įinally, there is a super magical mega spell move. In addition, by pressing R1 and X, you summon a horse to ride on, too. Then, by holding R1 followed by either square, circle or triangle, powerful area attacks are unleashed, the precise nature depending upon which button was pressed. These can only be used when your magic gauge has been filled. Each character, as we are in a magical underworld, as well as being equipped with their normal real-world weapons, have magic underworld ones too. On top of this is a new layer of combat for Warriors Orochi 4. This slight change in mechanics is welcome and necessitates smarter tactics in Orochi 4’s battle systems.Īll characters can use Musou (a special kind of super move) attacks, which are achieved by building up a gauge before unleashing a powerful, high damage attack on an area.
There are the standard attacks, mixed with guard and jump, but when using the Samurai characters, the triangle button results in a different style of attack than their Dynasty counterparts. Speaking as a fan of Musou style hack-and-slash games, the difference between the Samurai Warrior and Dynasty Warrior games are noticeable, but here in Orochi 4, the different playstyles have been mashed together into one gameplay mechanic that actually works very well. The differences between the base game and the ultimate addition are two extra story chapters, a new “infinity” mode, new characters and new weapons. Originally released to a western audience on 19th October 2018, with effect from the 14th February 2020, gamers can now purchase the full-fat Ultimate edition. Welcome to the alternative storyline of Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate. New alliances can be formed, with new possibilities available, and enemies from ancient history are now friends.
Omega Force gets around these real historical details to put those same characters all together in a mysterious afterlife world where anything goes. If you have followed the Samurai Warriors or Dynasty Warriors series, you may wonder how on earth it is possible to keep the same characters battling over the same storylines for so long. – 4 Bonus Costumes: Gaia + 3 others later (Zhou Yu, Oichi, and Da Ji)Įach DLC may be released as paid DLC later. – Early character unlock: Kyūbi, Tamamo, YinglongĮarly Purchase Bonus (before Mar.
