Shogun: Total War & Mongol Invasion Expansion Reviews
This game was purchased for my 2 sons who are over the age of 13. According to them the game is "awesome".
The graphics are by now only a bit dated - and, on the other hand, they can truly shine even on mid-range systems today. Now imagine how much I enjoyed one of the BEST strategy games ever. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The units are easily distinguished during battle, controlling them is done via a user-friendly interface and the issued orders are followed fast and effectively (something not true for much latter games, such as SUPREME COMMANDER).
Every decision has consequences. Do not miss it. Alternating between a tactical map (in which units get moved and improvements built) and the battlefield map (in which real-time unit movements and battles are fought) SHOGUN:TW has struck the perfect harmony between Turn-Based and Real-Time Strategy gaming. The particulars of the terrain and the weather, the troops deployment and the placement (and survival) of the general, all make the real-time battles such a unique experience. DISCLAIMER: I am a Japan-buff and games based on the Sengoku period of the Shogunate Wars have to be really bad for me not to enjoy them. The sounds manage to be both majestic and realistic (even after so many years, I am using them as my main WinXP Sound-Theme).
SHOGUN: TOTAL WAR is admittedly such a great game in every aspect it has become a RTS game benchmark. Not to mention it has fathered the TOTAL WAR series. Both Japanese and English is available. . This is the Gold edition which includes the WARLORDS Expansion. Alliances are made and broken; rebels conquered and their shock troops assimilated; Christian traders allowed or shunted.
Birth of an heir, earthquakes and assassination attempts by ninjas all add to the unpredictability of the gameplay.
