Really fun, but the grind is horrible. Also, if you buy the Season Pass, don't install the Bridge Melee and Rampage DLC unless you want certain characters turning into massive screen-eating giants every 1000 hits or ever charge magic.

So i loved Warriors Orochi 3 to death and expected this to not be as good as that, and i was right... and wrong.
I've been playing the definitive version of 3 recently and while i do still love it. Warriors Orochi 4 makes some of the problems with it really stamd out.
Biggest for me is the no checkpoint system in 3 which could be incredibly frustrating on stages where your paper mache allies would die to a stong gust of wind meaning instant game over. No restart or continue, just straight back to title screen.
Also 3 is old now and it looks it. 4 looks so much better it's not even close.
And personally i hated Gauntlet mode in 3 with a passion. Having to rush through stages to the exit before the miasma done me in was not my idea of fun.
So 4 does some things better, ie: checkpoints, much better graphical fidelity and no gauntlet mode.
Unfortunately it trips up as well. While the magic system is a lot of fun, it's also completely broken. Some of these sacred relics just make it so you dont even need to try and learn any other mechanics when you can just run around like a mini nuke.
And the talking, omg the talking. You will often find yourself just standing around waiting for long ass conversations to finish so that the battle missions can update and you can get back to nuking.
Is it fun? hell yeah.
Is it worth the money? If you get the ultimate edition in a sale i think so.
Is it better than 3? No but it's not worse either, it's just more mad musou action with some quality of life additions and zero challenge.

4 is not as bad as everyone says, the story isn't as good as 3 but personally i think the gameplay is better and smoother plus costumes are from SW4 and DW8 and i think that's way better than 3's which are SW3 and DW7. You'll hear people say that gauntlet mode in 3 is superior but.....i disagree immensely both aren't good they are not the fun kind of grind in my opinion

This game gets way too much hate for how fun the gameplay is.
Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is a blast, so you should try it if you enjoy the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors series or musou games in general. The magic system is really fun to mess around with, and the characters are generally pretty good. Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is missing a few characters that were included in Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate, but they also add a lot of new Greek gods and goddesses, as well as the newer characters that were introduced in Dynasty Warriors 8 and Samurai Warriors 4 DX (not II or SoS). In comparison, WO3U has 145 playable characters, while WO4U has 177.
I'll update this again at a later point once I've made more progress in the game!

Despite the reviews, what people say about the game, how everyone compared it to the previous game, here's why I still love WO4.
The total absurdity of it makes me feel like a kid again, playing with action figures of whatever I can get my hands on at the time.
I remember when I was a kid, I used to play with action figures a lot; the green armies, X-Men, TMNT, etc. The amount of weird storylines I came up with as a kid was immense.
WO4 makes me feel like that again.
I got home from work, tired, the internet's not working again as per usual, the first thing that comes to mind is "Welp, better wipe out the gods of Olympus with Odin." I see the fourth game as a sandbox, filled with action figures that I can toy around with. I do agree that WO3 is better story-wise, and I consider it the canonical end of the WO series, but this 4th one is something special to me, personally.
I hope I'm not the only one to feel like this towards the game.

dynasty/samurai warriors isekai with greek, norse, japanese and chinese mythology. pretty neat xy combination simulator. the reimagined characters from history are fun to figure out before the names are said.

A lot of people say Warriors Orochi 3 is better than this game, I bought both and tested myself...
As a newcomer to this series, Warriors Orochi 4 is excellent! Fully Recommend it unless you are an old player stuck to WO3 nostalgia
