Total War: SHOGUN 2 Reviews

this will forever be me second intro to the total war series after empire way better in my opinion i have so much more fun the only down side is the sieges very little diversity

Classic game, one of the best in it's genre, but I wish diplomacy would be more interesting.

I love this game, but it's objectively garbage in many regards. Diplomacy is completely messed up and there is only few things to negotiate in the first place (some of which the clans will never agree). Clans will accept deals and back out of them the next turn. Clans you never interacted with and who you don't even share borders with declare wars against you for no apparent reason. On occasions you can sell trade agreement for 5k/10k/15k even though nothing is worth that much money. The clans generate soldiers and buildings out of thin air, regardless of the money or the economy (i.e. making up money they could not possibly have) and so much more. Again, I love this game, I love the setting and the units, the language and the map, but it's half-finished product with many senseless things.

Probably the [i] magnum opus [/i] of The Creative Assembly. Campaign, peak of Total War multiplayer with Avatar Conquest and drop-in battles, land and naval battles, it's all way too good. Any game they made after this just couldn't top this one, and it has just gotten worse in every regard. And 5 years ago they gave this one away for free. I just wish I had told all the people I know to claim it because it's just perfect. If you're looking for one historical TW game, get this one. FotS DLC is worth it too, if you're into more modern battles with rifles.

Would be a perfect game if the developers actually kept it functional. Crashes no matter what. Even on the newest set-up. 3 Generations of laptops I've owned have all crashed the same way, at random. And it doesnt seem like the total war developers bother fixing the issues.

Great Game love Destroying my friends army's but the cost of DLC's is a bit expensive

In vanilla, it's the best Total War game ever made. With mods, though, a giant Barack Obama with a sword can bring death to your enemies and healthcare to the peasants of Meiji-period Japan with equal measure!

Total War Shogun 2 is a great game. I picked it up for only 7ish bucks, and it was definitely worth it. The actual time period is one of my favorites, and the archer units are EXTREMELY satisfying in my opinion. Only complaint though is the fact that it does sometimes crash and it will just break in the loading screen sometimes. Other than those complaints, I would highly suggest.

The strategy is deep, the battles are epic, and the political intrigue will have you questioning your alliances while you prepare to backstab your best friend. But hey, at least you can watch your army and efforts get wiped out in the most dramatic way possible ! It’s the perfect game if you want to feel like a powerful shogun, only to realize you’re terrible at managing your economy and your samurai are starving. 9/10, would lose a battle because I forgot to send reinforcements again.

Fuck you corpos for destroying a great game! Can't run mods, and without em still crashes, thx assholes
