After all, you can just buy the upgrades as an add-on for the base game.įor my money, the changes made here are pretty substantial.
The question, then, is if Ultimate merits its price tag, or is just a fancy DLC. It’s worth noting that this is the second release of Warriors Orochi 4, as is the norm with this franchise. Related: A New Dynasty Warriors Game Is In Production (But It's For Your Phone)
WARRIORS OROCHI 4 SPECIAL TEAM COMBINATIONS FULL
You’ll have your hands full juggling the fairly robust weapon crafting mechanics, although at the end of the day, it often doesn’t wind up affecting gameplay all that much – at least for casual players. Characters have different attributes that can stack with each other to make special team combinations, and each completed level yields a small cache of weapons. There’s also a degree of strategy with some extra loot mechanics thrown in.
WARRIORS OROCHI 4 SPECIAL TEAM COMBINATIONS PLUS
With these stacking on top of the usual hack n’ slash mayhem and the signature Musou attacks, plus a rage meter, Orochi 4 gives you heaps upon heaps of options when it comes to slicing and dicing tens of thousands of hapless goons. There’s magic that corrals dozens of dudes into a levitating Katamari ball, giant swirling laser tornados that yeet bad guys to the shadow realm, and joint attacks that are basically magical nukes. You can wrack up combos in the thousands in ten to twenty seconds with just a few button presses – and that’s just with the basic attacks. During the most hectic moments, one swing of your weapon can easily hit dozens of foes at once. Orochi 4 is probably the most densely populated entry in this series. Every time a new console is revealed, a certain kind of gamer asks themselves, “Huh, wonder how many dudes they can put on the screen in the next Dynasty Warriors?” Now that we’re nearing the end of the console generation, the answer to that question is, “a whole effing lot.” The Warriors franchise is, in a way, a benchmark for each console generation.
It’s a silly bit of fluff that exists to bring all of these different characters together, and really, that’s all it needs to be. The pretense of bringing together all these characters, which include Ninja Gaiden’s Ryu and Bladestorm's Joan of Arc in the Ultimate release, is pretty goofy – but that’s fine. There are even Fire Emblem adjacent support conversations between each of the 191 (!) playable characters.
It’s a bunch of goofy fan service, and if you’re in the market for that, it’s pretty solid. There are some stylish cutscenes and fun bits of dialogue, but they’re mostly there to show off characters chatting with each other who ordinarily wouldn’t. Orochi 4’s story isn’t necessarily the selling point of this thing. Lu Bu also becomes a demon king, because yeah, that tracks. There’s magical jewelry, Norse gods, and every possible Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and Warriors: Legends of Troy character you can think of. There’s very little in the way of exposition up front, with the basic pretense of the game being that Zeus is bringing a bunch of different time periods together for… reasons. Orochi 4 wastes no time in getting to the absolute bonkers craziness that comes with mashing together the different strains of Warriors.
