![]() Now, every character has access to unique magical attacks that can do everything from make small storms that pull enemies towards you to flat out performing Dragon Ball-esque energy blasts. This new feature goes hand-in hand with another new field-slaying mechanic: magic. You can choose up to four to tag along with your playable trio to help boost your stats and more. New to this game is the addition of support characters. While the Warriors games in general can be criticized with a lot of things feeling the same, the simple fact that so much effort went into making every bloody person feel unique is an immense effort that deserves applause in itself. Among one of the more beautiful features of the game is that every single individual character - of which there are over 170, might I add - has distinct motions and voices. Luckily, you get to pick a team of three so that too many of them don’t get lost in the shuffle. Like every single game in this series, there are almost too many characters to rifle through at all. They tie into everything because Zeus has given these heroes the ability to achieve “Deification”, meaning every individual character can attain the power of a god.Īnd, boy, are there loads of characters. Athena, Ares, and Zeus himself are among the new playable characters, as is Odin of Norse mythological fame. Unlike previous installments, this time the universe mashing comes at the hands of Zeus and the Greek gods. ![]() The key focus in the Orochi series in particular isn’t exactly story, but rather the interactions between characters and the incredibly over-the-top combos and numbers you put up as you bulldoze your way through hordes of enemies. Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate was originally intended to be the grand send-off for this particular spin-off series, but here we are with the next chapter. Warriors Orochi 4 is the fourth installment in the crossover series between Koei Tecmo mainstays Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors in which the Serpent King, Orochi, bends their respective universes in order to find out just who is the strongest hero among them all. I’ve expressed my adoration for the Warriors franchise quite a few times in my limited tenure here at Cultured Vultures, but I’ll set up a primer for those uninitiated with the concept or do not share my love for repeated button-mashing cosmos-crossing insanity. Warriors Orochi 4 falls into this latter category, being a child of the somewhat divisive Warriors series of games, but deserves its own fair share of attention amidst a time of giants. Between all these huge titles, though, are some games that may slip through the cracks and appeal to more “niche” markets while still being fairly big themselves. Ultimate remaining on the horizon just waiting to obliterate what’s left of our collective free times. Spider-Man, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Super Mario Party, and Black Ops IV (that’s how you use Roman numerals, by the way) have been unleashed, leaving titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, the Pokemon: Let’s Go games, Fallout 76, and Smash Bros. The biggest juggernauts of the gaming calendar are pumping out in full swing this time of year. Developer: Koei Tecmo Publisher: Koei Tecmo Platform(s): PC, PS4, XB1, Switch ![]()
