Samurai Warriors takes the Dynasty Warriors formula and refines it even further. The change of location is mostly for looks, but it's the newer RPG elements of the character advancement that really push the genre in a new direction. Fans of the series should find more to dig into than before with these new additions. The only drawback is that more wasn't included in the game. The Internet scoreboard is a tease for an online option that's not included.
Samurai Warriors makes a strong showing and takes the hack'n'slash genre a little further even though it's still not making any big changes to the action at hand. What it all boils down to is whether or not a button-mashing title is appealing. If so, this is still one of the best ones available. If not, the inherently repetitive nature of the gameplay will be an impossibly high hurdle. For all the hardcore button-mashers out there, this one's for you.

It's slicing and dicing at its finest and makes it a delight to jump into a group of enemies and tear them to shreds.

With the RPG elements, there's more reason than ever to keep on replaying levels and upgrade the characters.
