    Samurai Warriors 5 is a beautiful looking hack-and-slash game with a great story loosely based on historical events and characters. Add in a crazy amount of customisation and replayability this is a must-play title!

    Samurai Warriors 5 represents the state of the art of the Musou genre: a game with divisive mechanics, yet refined and ready to give hours of fun to those who can appreciate this long-lived series. The others are unlikely to change their minds, although a demo is available on all platforms that I recommend you try.

    Samurai Warriors 5, another Musou game developed by Omega Force in recent times, is perfectly executed, but seems too conservative compared to Persona 5 Strikers or Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. The gameplay is very enjoyable and animations are polished, but I wish the missions were staged in a more interesting and creative way. However, after many years and countless Warriors installments the core of the game still works fine. [10/2021, p.66]

    A very, very traditional musô ... but nevertheless successful. Admittedly, its cel-shadding remains an obvious make-up for a dated technique, but it also causes a reinforced Japanese atmosphere and some appreciable graphic effects; Likewise, the repetitiveness of its missions is an obvious black point but is compensated by a diversity of characters and interesting gameplay, and this despite the criticized reduction of its cast.

    Samurai Warriors 5 renounces to amaze its audience, offering instead the same old gameplay of the series that gets very repetitive very soon. Those looking for the classic one-on-a-thousand Musou action will have bread for their teeth, however.

    Samurai Warriors 5 runs well and has a solid story presentation, but it's barely different from the last entry in terms of gameplay, save for having less than a third of the movesets.

    El juego que debió ser Dynasty Warriors 9

    Gráficamente es distinto al resto, visualmente muy bonito al tirar hacia el anime, y nunca baja de    El juego que debió ser Dynasty Warriors 9

    Gráficamente es distinto al resto, visualmente muy bonito al tirar hacia el anime, y nunca baja de los 60 fps. La jugabilidad es muy divertida, sobre todo los ataques que son bastante más frenéticos que la saga Dynasty Warriors al poder encadenar muchas más combinaciones y poder lanzar hasta 3 tipos diferentes de unidades en uno de sus modos
    ¿ Juego corto ? Bueno, intenta pasarte el juego en máxima dificultad, subir el nivel de los personajes al máximo, el nivel del dojo, herrería, tienda, los establos, el rango de las armas, ... soy fan incondicional de la saga DW ( llevo jugando desde el 2 ) y personalmente estoy encantado con éste juego ! Caerán horas !

    La única pega es que no esté traducido al español.    … Expand

But the story and gameplay where very boring, I always feel like i am doing the same thing every time I play the game. I wish they where something else to do in the game to do cause it felt painful to play after 5 hours . Again the game looks very pretty but not pretty fun.… Expand
