I did feel that the story is stretched a bit thin as you get tiny morsels of detail that just slowly churn out the story, mission by mission. You also get a bit of minor subterfuge as your mission objectives might be something like “Rescue the Girl” only to find out it’s one of the cool new characters for the DLC. The real challenge is still balancing what to do on the map and when to do it. I have to say, though, fighting the same enemies over and over along with their phantoms and monsters does get old.
Beyond that, the new characters are fun to play and I rather liked Ryu the most, personally. I also noticed many of the missions had some “I gotcha!” moments where you thought everything was over and then some baddie says “Uh, uh, uh, didn’t say the magic word.” and you must rush off to cut them down before heading back to base. With the gameplay itself feeling like the same missions as in Chapter 5, the game does not change much of anything that you haven’t seen already other than a new musou Switch Combo that is nifty. By and large, though, Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate still sticks with the same “Oh, no! Someone must be stopped right now before it’s too late!” followed by some “Let’s go immediately and make sure to add some fairly nondescript dialogue!” for each mission with some visual novelesque story bits in between to tie it all together. I think that is because instead of the mad rush to save the world, it’s a slightly more investigative approach to the story. From my experience, the story is a bit more character driven with interpersonal moments here and there, but not by much. The story expands and fills in some of the holes of the main campaign, but don’t expect anything intense or all that surprising. Gaia and Hades are joining the smorgasbord of warriors and deities along with a wee bit of Joan of Arc, Achilles, Ryu Hayabusa, and a mystic named Yang Jian. What do you get with the Ultimate version compared to the Vanilla? As far as actual missions to play, you honestly get pretty much the same type of missions as before with a slightly more interesting storyline expanding on the ancient gods theme. It’s not a game I can play for days on end, though, despite the fact I largely marathoned it in a weekend for the review you are reading. Yet, there is a certain je ne sais quoi that I still find enjoyable, mostly due to all the varied character attacks and that giddy feeling I get from whirlwinding thousands of soldiers in a spiral of death. It’s very repetitive and most missions tend to be quite similar but with different map layouts. I won’t redo an entire review of the base game other than to say it’s mostly using the same musou normal, charge, and magic attacks over and over while following a sort of GPS style map and using time management for objectives because if you don’t complete the objectives on time, you end up defeated and have to start over the mission or at least from a checkpoint.
