Summary
The most epic crossover in the video gaming universe is back, and it's so epic that it's even brought the Guinness World Record for 'Most playable characters in a hack-and-slash video game' with it.
Yes, that's right - it has a whopping 170 characters for you to try your hand at, some 165 taken from the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors franchises that feed it, and five brand new characters for you to take for a spin. The heroes from the Warring States period of Japan and the Three Kingdoms era of China thought their job was done. They returned to their home eras. Or so they thought. Their two worlds, merged by an unknown entity, are threatened again and the heroes must unravel and solve the problem if they ever want to get home. As they begin to unpick the mystery the threads seem to be pointing in one direction - to Zeus, the supreme god among gods.
The one vs thousands gameplay of the Warriors series returns with massive combos, devastating attacks and a key new feature - the first appearance of magic abilities. By wielding the Sacred Treasures - artifacts of the gods - the heroes can now cast ranged and targeted spells or even combine their powers with allies for spectacular results! Mix that up with the recent addition of the ability to swap characters on the fly, and Warriors Orochi 4 is an ever-evolving spectacle of over the top action.
