SeekerSamurai Warriors 5
Samurai Warriors 5 will twist itself to appeal to a wide variety of mosou playstyles. If you want to just blast through the campaign as a guy with a sword, Samurai Warriors 5 is a tight story campaign featuring Nobunaga Oda and a few guest stars. If you’re a returning musou fan looking for a new favorite pastime, the side missions and Citadel Mode will keep you busy for hours and hours, although things do feel toned down when compared to past games in the genre. The new art style should override any worries about redesigned characters, as Samurai Warriors 5 looks like a graphical leap over its predecessor and sets the groundwork for a new batch of expansions, spin-offs, and sequels to hack through in the years to come.
