Small addition: The health damage score counter has been changed in this version. It is now percentage based, and for most battles you can take up to 150% of your character's health in damage and still keep the top rank. This also means that the bigger your character's health bar is, the more lenient this quota will be. It's a great change and gives an actual incentive for heart piece hunting.

Oh thank god. Mentioned in a pinned comment on this video review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0u_vUbT5jM

Warriors Orochi 4 update

quote:

A PC version of Warriors Orochi 4 will also be released, albeit at a later date than the console versions in Japan.
Of the 170 playable characters in Warriors Orochi 4, five are new and have still yet to be revealed. The enemy this time is Zeus. The five new characters are likely to be chosen from the Twelve Olympians such as Athena and Poseidon.
The new “Divine Art Action” system adds new elements such as Divine Arts and Deification.
Collaboration characters such as Ryu Hayabusa will not appear in the game.

It just keeps escalating. And yet all I can think of is Flash 'games'/cashsinks like Wartune, where despite the supposed power you wield, you're still doing the same old and stuck in the same old grind. That's the sense I get.

Nice, this should be a good return to the proven basics after the DW9 debacle (especially since they'll use the DW8 content, no?).

I never played that Troy title developed by one of the K-T branches, but I am still interested in seeing more Greek mythology in the context of the Orochi games.

I was thinking more historical figures but I'm also down for this. Wasn't there a Gust character in Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate? I would imagine he'll return at least, if I'm remembering that right

Edit: Or not! But holy hell, Zeus as the big bad sounds weird and fantastic.

"Warriors Orochi 4’s Story Is Supervized By Suikoden Creator; Will Not Include Any Guests"

What

-This time there won’t be any collaboration characters such as Ryu Hayabusa.

-As for the story summary, after defeating Orochi the heroes returned to where they belong. All of their memories are lost, but their worlds will intertwine once more. Eight bangles are the keys to going back to their respective worlds. Zeus seems to be involved, but his goal is unknown.

-The reason there won’t be any collaboration characters is to focus going back to the roots of the Three Kingdom and Sengoku, or warring states.

-Koei Tecmo hopes to release the game by Fall 2018.

Well, he has experience with big casts. It's almost a shame they've said there won't be added characters, because the thought of Jowy or Nanami being in a Warriors game is a nice thought.

Still kinda disappointed it's only DW/SW/WO characters, but on the plus side I had forgotten that Yoshitsune Minamoto was a WO original. I can play with lightsaber bug man again, so that at least soothes the wound of not being able to hang with Ryu Hayabusa and Joan of Arc anymore.

It does kinda make me wanna go back and actually beat WO3. I've been picking away at it for the last like, 2 or 3 years at this point.

I'm very tempted to get this version of Hyrule Warriors, since I never played it, and I'm looking for more games to expand my Switch library. What keeps me from ordering it outright (apart from my hesitance to pre-order games) is that I still haven't made a real dent in Warriors Orochi 3, and I still have Pirate Warriors 3 to tackle.

Ah they're not adding the characters from Yukimura's game. I don't see any of DW9's characters either. Understandable since they don't have the standard musou movesets, though Zhou Cang did in All-stars. Hope there'll be some surprise characters like the Greek pantheon hinted at though, since more new Orochi characters is always fun since they usually have neat movesets.

Skinflints probably just don't want to pay licensing fees, and an executive board got additionally stiff at the reduced costs of a shorter dev cycle for it too.
