The value story

It has never been cheaper than $19.99. That was February 2025. It has been discounted 31 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 13 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 42 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, DYNASTY WARRIORS 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition ($49.99, scores 68) beats it on value, while it beats Rise of the Ronin ($49.99, scores 9).

8 of the 366 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 515 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 33 percent of the 198 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.

32.2 hours to finish it, 66 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.0 times the campaign.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

A fun, mindless hack and slash with decent Koei Tecmo style storytelling and it's $50? You can get Cyberpunk and both Fallen Order games for $40, or just buy the new dynasty warriors for $50. This pricing is gross.
A Steam playerNot recommendedafter 1.5hSep 2025Read on Steam
Make sure you backup your saves which are located here: C:\Users\ \Documents\KoeiTecmo\SAMURAI WARRIORS 4-II This game doesn't have Steam Cloud, so if you change PC, you lose your progress. That, and the in-game save menu makes it very easy to accidentally delete your save. It happened to me, so I ended up downloading a 100% save online to just keep playing the stories I hadn't played yet. As for the game itself...
ClockworkNot recommendedafter 41hSep 2025Read on Steam
Hours of hack-and-slash fun; repeated the finished stories and still replayable.
