Where did you go, Samurai Warriors?

by Alisha Karabinus { Jan 30th 2008 at 4:00PM }


Koei's Samurai Warriors Katana released earlier this month in the U.S. to a distinct lack of fanfare, and next month, European gamers will get their shot at the action title. Last August, the game sure sounded like it had potential, so what happened between then and now that resulted in an average score of 53 on Metacritic? Apparently "fun" is as far as the concept went, and many other elements were left unpolished. Still, the reviews are not all bad, and the screens didn't make any of the staff at Wii Fanboy vomit on their shoes, so it might be worth keeping an eye out for the inevitable markdowns that are sure to come in a few weeks.
