Players fight off hordes of enemies is the familiar hack and slash gameplay, using simple attacks and the special musou attacks when they need to clear out a lot of enemies quickly. Players will assemble a team of three warriors and go into battle, switching between characters to help stave off death and slaughter an endless supply of enemies in the familiar one vs one thousand formula. Veterans of Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate will feel at home in Warriors Orochi 4. The designs for Ares and Athena are well done with Ares having some of the coolest new weaponry, though when I look at Zeus I canвЂ™t help but think of Chris Farley being turned into a steroid-devouring bodybuilder. The design choices for the Greek gods are not what weвЂ™ve been accustomed to traditionally. All Dynasty and Samurai Warriors return ,В along with the natives of the Mystic Realm such as Da Ji and Susanoo, along with some select members of the Greek and Norse pantheons. вЂњGuestвЂќ characters from Warriors Orochi 3 UltimateВ do not return, such as characters from the Dead or Alive franchise or historical figures such as Joan of Arc and Achilles. Warriors Orochi 4 begins with a modest roster of three characters but this increases after almost every main story battle and side story, ultimately leading up to a total of 170 playable characters once everyone is unlocked. The story is interesting enough, but really just exists to provide an excuse for a reunion between the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors to battle against supernatural forces they wouldnвЂ™t encounter in their more historically accurate main games. Some video games have stories that show video games can transcend storytelling into high art and this is not one of those games. Zeus is bored and wants to recreate this world since having the warriors from the Three Kingdoms and Sengoku period meet up again sounds fun. Zeus had observed the events involving Orochi X and the Hydra, and after all that mess was settled the characters went back to their home worlds with a convenient case of amnesia. The story of Warriors Orochi 4 continues after Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate, which the former is nice enough to include a story synapse of the latter during the loading screens. Not that weвЂ™re complaining of course since we tend to enjoy the simple pleasures of the repetitive chaos that can be found in Musou games and Warriors Orochi 4 introduces some new elements in the latest installment of their one version a zillion formula. First we have the Cult of Kosmos doing all sorts of cloak and dagger nonsense, and now Zeus, Ares and Athena decided to take a page out of OrochiвЂ™s playbook and mash up the worlds of Dynasty WarriorsВ and Samurai Warriors. Ever since Kratos went to northern Europe to start a black metal band, the Grecian neвЂ™er do wells have been coming out of the woodwork. This has been a busy year for the malevolent forces of ancient Greece.
