The story in Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate has been expanded and improved, adding new characters and scenarios that enhance the overall experience, though some players find it still lacks depth. While the gameplay remains engaging and fun, many fans may overlook the story's shortcomings due to the game's replayability and enjoyable mechanics. Overall, the new content offers a solid upgrade for newcomers, but may not justify the investment for those who have already completed the base game.

Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate (Switch) Review
Can the Ultimate expansion redeem a lackluster sequel?
60%Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate Review
Warriors Orochi 4 was a solid, if uninspired, Musou game and this 'Ultimate' edition fleshes things out with some new characters and modes, significantly beefs up the story and tweaks the central gameplay here and there. However, the additions that have been made sometimes feel like the least amount of effort that was possible. The new playable characters, although fun, are pretty much slapped in without any fanfare, new weapons don't even have unique skins and Infinity Mode feels like a bit of a missed opportunity. Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is definitely an improvement over the vanilla version of the game – and absolutely the way to go if you're keen but have yet to pick it up – but it's also a rather disappointingly small one that comes at a pretty steep price for loyal fans who are forking out to upgrade from the base version.

At this point, you are most likely either in or out when it comes to the series. Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is a fun Warriors game, but won't change your mind on the genre.
