Port-wise then, it’s about what you’ve probably come to expect from a Koei Warriors game on PC.

It’s not an insurmountable obstacle, but standing next to a horse while I tred to figure out what ‘small symbol of a horse head’ translated as on my controller made me feel pretty stupid for a while (turns out it was X). It means if you use a gamepad (which, let’s be honest, most will for this sort of game), you have to pretty much guess the controls for a while. What is more annoying is Koei’s continued insistence on using obscure button symbols in tutorials and defaulting to keyboard prompts in all other cases. There’s still a bit of pop-in even with the draw distance at full, but it’s not too awful. I’m not too sure (but assume) that a maxed out draw distance and soldier density make the PC version the equivalent of the PS4. Character models appear to be the same, which is an improvement over the Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends PC release, but we’re still not quite at the point where Koei trust us with all the same graphical features as the PS4. If you’ve seen any images from the PS4 version, you’ll know that the PC one is lacking some of the textures, lighting and post-processing effects from that release. Today is all about investigating whether Tecmo Koei have figured out how to do a top-notch PC port yet. It also seems just as historically accurate as you’d expect.

Samurai Warriors 4-2 isn’t just one number shy of being a football formation, it also switches the setting from Romance of the Three Kingdoms era China to waring states era Japan (think Total War: Shogun 2, if you’ve played that). In-keeping with the trend of Japanese studios tentatively taking Steam slightly more seriously, this is the third Warriors game (fourth if you’re counting Bladestorm) to get a Western PC release in recent times.Īs an eager student of Musou, I naturally couldn’t wait to get stuck back in with the Yellow Turban Rebellion and find out how Cao Cao’s name is being pronounced this ti … wait a second, who are all these Samurai guys?
