Veterans of Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate will feel at home in Warriors Orochi 4. 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. 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. In keeping true to the play mechanics of their predecessors, characters from the Mystic Realm and Dynasty Warriors games will have a stronger charge attack they can mix into their combos while the Samurai Warriors characters get a dash attack. Each battle lasts on average around fifteen to twenty minutes, though character level, difficulty setting and skill factor into this. The gameplay is repetitive and generally simple, but in that sense it can also be cathartic and good game to play when you need to unwind.
The biggest change in gameplay is the addition of magic which is introduced early on. Each character has four different magic abilities that can be activated by holding the right bumper and pressing the corresponding face button. The least exciting of these is the ability to summon a horse, but having a horse appear underneath a character is a nice change of pace from having to chase down a galloping equine (we’re looking at you Samurai Warriors 4-II). Each character has normal magic that is useful for dealing rather weak to moderate damage to a large group of enemies and only uses a bit of quickly regenerating magic gauge, which can vary from sending a barrage of fireballs to waves of ice to shooting a wide beam from a sword.
