Koei Tecmo just hosted a livestream for upcoming hack and slasher Samurai Warriors 5, giving us our first proper look at extended gameplay footage. If you played Samurai Warriors 4, it'll look fairly familiar, but we definitely think that the new art style helps keep things fresh. Special attacks have simply never looked better, and the inclusion of skill moves (each set to a cooldown) should spice up the action.
Combat gameplay kicks in at around the 56 minute mark, as we get to see main character Nobunaga Oda take to the battlefield. A little later, at 1:04, there's a chunk of Ieyasu Tokugawa gameplay — another character who's received a total overhaul both in gameplay and design. Much like in Samurai Warriors 4, you'll be able to swap between two different characters in combat, in order to better control the battle.
How do you think Samurai Warriors 5 is shaping up? Hone your blade in the comments section below.

I could play Musou games forever. I'm sold.
It's not Sengoku Basara, but it will do
yeah! SW is the best Musou! (then One Piece).
@AndyKazama But i skipped DW9. 🤪
@Flaming_Kaiser I didn't personally. It wasn't a great musou, however I did really like the character designs and the way the story progressed, i.e. playing the entire life time of a character and the events they were involved in, and then able to go back and play those events from another characters who was there.
Just really meh combat and poor frame rates.
Always a fan of these games, but I was hoping for a bit of a graphics upgrade. If not the characters at least make it look like your not running on different colored cement. I'm sure I will still buy it, but they are always one of the slowest on improving graphics.
@Talon_Zanarkand tbh I haven't played since I got the plat. Played this on the pro in frame rate mode.
I'd honestly like to see a proper rehaul with better FPS, so that people can try the gameplay without jank.
