Summary
Total War is one of, if not the most popular historical strategy combat series in the world. Balancing intense scenarios with deep gameplay mechanics, Creative Assembly has built a franchise that has expanded beyond one particular era - and even one particular genre. Shogun 2 is the sequel to the Feudal Japan combat game that was originally released ten years ago, and the time away from the region has paved the way for a wealth of stunning new features.
The campaign and AI has been vastly improved, for starters. Now, the computer-controlled opponent follows the millennia-old scriptures that influenced Japanese warfare - Chinese Master Sun Tsu’s “Art of War.” As a result, the experience feels much more historically accurate and allows for easy-to-understand yet deep strategic gameplay.
Battles will now be much more visceral as the action takes place in full 3D environments on both land and sea. And don’t worry, the tactical campaign map that every Total War fan loves and cherishes will be available and in full effect as well. As the leader of a war clan, Daimyo, your task will be to use military engagements, economics and diplomacy to re-unite a warring Japan under his name and become the new Shogun.
