Review copy provided by publisher. This video review is all about Samurai Warriors 5, the latest entry in the 1 vs. 1000 series of Musou or Warriors games, but instead of being a sequel it's a complete reimagining or reboot. This means there are less playable characters and a compact story, but in return you get a new and stunning visual artstyle, a new weapons system and overall addicting and fast-paced gameplay like you're used to with these game.
Samurai Warriors is all about the Sengoku Era (Japanese warring states) and started as a spin-off to Dynasty Warriors, which focused on the Chinese warring states. Iconic characters like Oda Nobunaga, Mitsuhide Akechi, Noh and Hattori Hanzo are playable. But seeing as the game only follows the story from a young Oda Nobunaga, the story ends at the Honnoji Incident where Oda Nobunaga has grown older and is even called the Demon King. This is also the reason why this game doesn't have fan-favorite characters like Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura as playable characters.
But hey - with this change in direction we may very well receive a sequel that has those characters. Or even DLC, who knows? For now - I hope this video review will give you all the information you need and if not, just leave a comment and I'll back to you as soon as possible!
The gameplay shown was recorded on a Playtation 5 (PS5) and I've played the games for 31 hours before writing this review.

Game Description:
=================
After a 7-year wait, a new instalment in the tactical action series "SAMURAI WARRIORS" is finally here!
With this title, the historical period depicted in the first title of the "SAMURAI WARRIORS" series released in 2004 has been revamped.
With visuals that have largely evolved since the first "SAMURAI WARRIORS", additional WARRIORS officers, and evolved actions, an even deeper drama set in the warring states is depicted.
Also, with a focus on the lives of officers Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi, in order to more intensely and boldly depict the warring states era spanning from the end of the Ōnin War to the Incident at Honnōji, the title is the beginning of a new series, in which the stories and characters from the traditional "SAMURAI WARRIORS" have been revamped.
Features of "SAMURAI WARRIORS 5"
■With officers whose designs have been revamped, as well as new officers, a total of 27 WARRIORS officers join the battle
Officers such as a young Nobunaga Oda, known as the "Great Fool", and daimyō Yoshimoto Imagawa, who was called the "Greatest Archer in all of Kaidō", appear with new designs that match the setting of this title.
Also, new officers such as Toshimitsu Saitō, a retainer of Mitsuhide Akechi, as well as Kōga ninja Mituski join the battle. A total of 27 WARRIORS officers interweave their fates to create a dramatic warring states era.
■WARRIORS actions are more thrilling and dazzling than ever before
In this title, players can once again enjoy the "thrill of sending enemies flying" that the WARRIORS series is renowned for.
And with new actions that have been added with this title, as well as new depictions that give off a Japanese flair, the WARRIORS actions have become even more stunning.
