Summary
Expected Mortal Kombat, but discovers Samurai Warriors 5 is a Dynasty Warriors-style Japanese historical action game with lengthy unskippable cutscenes. He rates the painterly art 4/10, while criticizing forced tutorials, weak enemy AI, absent shadows, and tiny opponents. Combat feels weightless: enemies mostly stand idle, attacks lack impact, and he calls the game boring and rubbish.
Insight
As with NEO, Japanese setting fails to compensate for frustrating pacing and gameplay.
