The Samurai Warriors series, Dynasty Warriors’ little brother, turns over a new leaf with this fifth entry. This reimagining of the historical hack-and-slash boasts redesigned characters and a captivating new visual style. The toon shading and 2D anime-style effects complement the outlandish nature of the action, while a smattering of ukiyo-e visuals (think Hokusai’s Great Wave) and the way the soundtrack’s electronic elements have been stripped back to emphasise the flutes and plucked strings give the game a stylish traditional feel.
