Still, story mode is a lengthy, polished component, and watching how each individual plot weaves into the overarching narrative is interesting, especially if you're a fan of Japanese history. With that in mind, those who have already played the original release will likely get more out of this. Samurai Warriors 4's story mode worked so well because it was spread across the bigger picture, and although you could argue that 4-II's focus on individuals is more engaging, it's not nearly as welcoming to newcomers. Our only quarrel with 4-II's story mode is the fact that in order to understand exactly what's going on, you'll likely need prior knowledge of the historical period. There are 12 different stories to see in total, and although there's some overlap with a few characters, they all tend to follow particular narrative themes which make them distinct. Plenty of dialogue fleshes out the personalities to a reasonable degree, and each scenario is padded out just enough so that you know what it is you're fighting for. As with Samurai Warriors 4, the plot is paved with cutscenes that play out in between each battle, and it's all done rather well.
