Samurai Warriors 4: Empires

Sengoku Musou 4: Empires (戦国無双4 Empires) is the third Samurai Warriors Empires title. Samurai Warriors 4-II serves as the game's base for featured characters, action, and visuals.

Hisashi Koinuma is general producer while Osamu Mieda is producer. The overall concept is to present "the ultimate Warriors conquest simulator". In a response to fan feedback, this game will reuse qualities from the first Empires title. Developers from the Nobunaga's Ambition series have worked on the simulation parts of this game. No new playable characters are appearing, but the number of character events are being enhanced.

A reservation campaign is taking place until August 6. The number of people who reserve determines the specific serial code that they will receive. Known potential bonuses include another residential design, a scenario or a character outfit. The Premium Box edition includes miniature illustration cards of the entire cast.

Gameplay

 * Simulation aspects have been revamped. Neglecting domestic affairs will make battles harder for the player.
 * Individual character driven historical scenarios have been dropped. The free-flowing scenario system returns.
 * A new feature is "Residential Administration" which offers a view into the characters' domestic activities. Players can assign specific characters to be magistrates for a specific trait, such as development or military. Every character has varying compatibility ratings for each aspect that affects their performance, and the player can discern whether or not to accept their proposals.
 * Personal battle policies for characters returns. Conquered bases affect morale again.
 * Character affinities affect the number of characters that can be sent to battle. Up to eight characters can be dispatched.
 * Over 200 male and female generic officers are included. Male figures highlight famous events, and female figures accommodate domestic affairs. Two known figures are Chacha and Matsu. They will be constructed with edit character parts.
 * Marriage events are present. Character exchanges will vary on whether their partner is historically accurate, fictional, or an edit character.
 * Edit characters receive their own set of conversation events in this title.
 * Downloadable content so far includes costumes.
