Thanks guys! As I'm looking to play it on my TV, I'm just looking for PS4 games - is SW4-2 any good or should I just get DQH?

You could always go with Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate. It's got a ton of content, and the story of the previous games is easily explained in a few paragraphs in the gallery.

I don't doubt it would make money, but I'm not sure if making a game where you play as Freddy or Jason killing a ton of unarmed teenagers trying to run away from you would be good for the company's image. Though I find the idea of invincible, down-to-earth white girl enemy generals intriguing.

Whoa my bad I should have clarified that the enemies would have to be zombies or something. Straight up slasher Musuo would be too close to Hatred.

If we're going to do World History Warriors I feel like starting at the American Revolution would be a bad op. I'd say go whole hog.

Charlemagne Warriors. Germanic tribes unifying a whole region, dismantling primitive France and establishing Real France instead, boning everybody.

You could have about 20 playable characters with "heroes" and "villains" and it ends with the perfect springboard for the rest of it. War of the Roses Warriors, 100-Years-War Warriors, the First Crusade....

I don't watch anime or know anything about that show, unfortunately, so it'll probably be a pass for me. I appreciate the suggestion though!

edit: Looks like it's between DQH and SW4-2 for me.

Pirate Warriors 3 is legit the best Musou game. I know little about One Piece or anime in general and I'm having a blast with Pirate Warriors 3. It's not quite as content-rich as WO3/Hyrule but it's got a ton to do, a lot of really diverse character to play as, and some of the best fighting mechanics and story missions. The only thing I can't vouch for is how well it treats the actual One Piece IP.

I like it quite a bit better then DW Heroes, and I am a fan of the DQ games. If you really don't like the anime aesthetic, my backing is behind SW-2

Pretty well, actually. There are a few things I was surprised they skipped, and if you don't follow the story elsewhere you'll probably wonder why the hell something or other happened, but it works well overall.

It's a game where magical pirates battle. Unsurprisingly, this makes for a fun game.

On the topic of new Warriors games, I'd like a Monster Mash Warriors. Wolf man fights a Frankenstein, battling with dancing skeletons.

And my thoughts jump back to a certain Dynasty Warriors 4 mechanic. Everyone had a taunt that would stun those at point-blank range.

Lu Bu's not only had a little actual range, but guard-breaking properties as well. As if his throws weren't enough...

Wow. A few hours with SW4 and all of the sudden my CAW is max level and manhandles pretty much everything in the game I've seen so far. I bumped it up to hard (and am considering putting it on Nightmare) but if it's really this shallow I'll probably take it back.

Really weird because I don't remember the other games being like this one.

You could do a pretty cool Warriors game with the King Arthur legends/matter of britain/matter of france.

Sir Balin is your two swords guy

The Fisher King is there and literally uses a fishing pole for a weapon, can maybe do a thorns aura type thing or otherwise turn his own wounds against people around him

Go full pagan druid with Merlin and have him shapeshift momentarily as his power attacks, basic weapon is a wand/club/fetish looking thing

You might think Arthur himself would be the very safe, archetypal knight character, but you can actually go full Musou on him. Now he's one of the little kid characters and isn't king yet, but is kind of a cocky poo poo who knows he's destined to be great anyway. He wields the sword in the stone, but since he's not the king yet it's still stuck the stone. He has to use it like a club that's too heavy for him and try to bash people with the rock on one end.

The Green Knight is your Lu Bu type. He dual wields a big glowing axe in one hand and his own severed head in the other, tossing it around the field.

This would work great, and I wouldn't mind a few other myth/folklore figures showing up. Have an Oberon or Titania appearance, include fairies to bolster enemies, Morgana le Fey could team up with Grendel's Mother while Beowulf reluctantly agrees to join your army after you beat him up a bit
