Samurai Warriors 4 DX

Samurai Warriors 4 DX is an action game for the Nintendo Switch, released by Koei Tecmo. It is the ultimate version of Samurai Warriors 4, an entry in the Warriors series based on the Warring States period of Japan. This version includes over 150 pieces of DLC from the original. Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada is based on this iteration but, is completely separate game with its own story and gameplay mechanics.

Gameplay
The game is a beat 'em up where the player controls a character that defeats armies of enemies on a map to fight enemy commanders. The game is quite similar to Samurai Warriors 3 but adds a number of mechanics from Samurai Warriors Chronicles. The most notable addition is the character switching mechanic from the Chronicles games. The player brings in two characters to a map and can free switch between them, allowing the player to manage different parts of the battlefield. There are two new kinds of moves introduced with this entry; Hyper Attacks to sweep up crowds and Rage Mode that makes the player invincible with increased power for a short period of time including their Musou Attack.

The game has a story mode that is formatted around the 10 stories of the different clans and regions fighting during the Warring States period. The stories all focus either around the unification by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, or the conflicts following his death that lead to the Battle of Sekigahara.

The create-a-character has been expanded for a total of 5 weapon moveset options. This created character is used for the "Chronicle Mode" which lets the player do quests as their custom character.
