I'm happy they're not doing the dreaded open world formula that destroyed DW9. Keep these games level based Koei!

Samurai Warriors 5 out July 27th (Switch/PS4/XBO/Steam), new trailer
- Thread starter Soilbreaker
- Start date
Yeah, I'm surprised none of the SWs have Tenkai yet. Onimusha did it and then Basara did it too.
Speaking of other things the Nioh games did, I wonder if this will finally be the game that introduces a take on the guy in my DP. A game that focuses on Nobunaga's career would give plenty of opportunity to incorporate him as another one of his retainers.
Samurai Warriors 3 actually did something like it in Mitsuhide's story; he just gives up after Yamazaki and then decides to fight at Sekigahara for Ieyasu. They even gave him a little ninja mask
Honestly if they made a good one I would be all over it. I had high hopes for DW9 but everyone seems to always say how bad it is sadly.
After the shitshow that is DW9 and WO4, I'm extremely excited for this
As long as there's no open world or cloned movesets (Seeing No having a bow is a bit concerning though, hope they give her the claws later on) I'm open and willing to give anything they try new in there a chance

I really hope they put in the new characters from Spirit of Sanada since they for some reason didn't include them in Warriors Orochi 4.
Things said by people not even playing Musou games.
Never not astonished about the dismissal of the genre by everyone.
Hyped for early Sengoku! Oda is still a great character to explore. I hate when he gets portrayed as a mustache twirling villain in games. Both Nioh games and Kessen 3 were much better in how they handled him.
Ain't that the truth about Era in general sometimes.

I guess you just want them digitally? Spirit of Sanada physical is 20$ and you can find a used copy of Samurai Warriors 4 on Amazon for about $27-$30 or $10 if you have a GameStop near you with it in stock.
It would be a tall order. Just cutting characters is normally not received well by fans and can get the game going out on a wrong foot.
Yup. I see similar responses in relation to Yakuza (because apparently one is released every week going by some people on here...)
If anything, feels like Musou releases have really slowed down as of late, but maybe that's just me? Either way, this one focusing on a younger Nobunaga has me instantly interested.
They really have. There have been five from 2018-2020. Compared to the seven that came out 2016-2017. I'm not complaining though, it's led to higher quality games.
They're mainline Musou. Basically Dynasty Warriors is Warring States China, Samurai Warriors is Sengoku period Japan.
This is classic musou about the senguko period japan. So expect a classic musou like DW.
... I'm not into it. Mitsuhide and Nohime's designs look like absolute trash, and the latter being given a bow? What?
They fucking Sun Shang Xiang'd her and I'm livid.
There better be an aging system.

I mean, it always was, just with bad graphics haha.
Looking forward to this on PS4/5 though. Been in the mood for a Warriors but happy this one will have a more unique art style. I'm down to give it a try.
I'll have to see more. At first glance I just don't like the style. It feels...sterile somehow. The stills and stylization after musou are cool though.
I've been a fan of the franchise for years but I think DW9 killed all of my momentum. I bought OP4 day one and while I know its a solid game I can't spend more than 5 minutes on it. I'll stay cautiously optimistic.

Adding new characters but not making new scenarios or stuff to go with them pretty much doomed this game. I'd play the DLC people about ten or so times and then just put it down. It has very little replayability compared to PW3.
SW4's story mode is one of the best story modes in the entire franchise. They try to cram so much stuff from the fall of Imagawa all the way to Yukimura's last stand. Each character gets their own list of side missions for every stage leading to different encounters and cutscenes. Being able to play each mission in varying perspectives really hooked me into the game.
Nope. 4-2 is pretty much a whole new game with a focus on the new characters they added that didn't get much attention in the story. The main story in 4 isn't present. Think of it like an expansion pack. You'll want to get regular 4 if you want to experience the full Sengoku period storyline.
4-2 doesn't include 4. It is it's own game with campaigns focused on single characters.
4-2 is more or less an expansion to SW4. It doesn't have all of the story content of SW4-1. In the past, KT would have released 4-2 as SW4: Xtreme Legends as a proper expansion, but they legally can't do that in the way they had anymore because Capcom sued them on patent infringement.
Fully agreed. I was so surprised to see how much content I had when I played this on the Vita years back. Hoping SW5 lives up to SW4.
using the power of technology i have approximated what this new design of nobunaga would look like with facial hair and some age lines
hey wait a sec....
that's just nobunaga!

Besides actually playing the game, the highlight of a new Warriors entry is seeing all the new designs Tecmo/Koei have come up with.
Same here. I'm disappointed that we'll never get an open-world Japan like we got for China, but as long as the distinct levels are good, I'm fine either way.
+1, I have hundreds of hours in DW9 and still play it to this day. I was looking forward to an openworld Sengoku musou, but right now I'm just happy we're getting another SW. I'm really curious about DW9 Empires - I know it's not going to be openworld, but I think it can be a great game being built on DW9.
