About Total War: SHOGUN 2

✦ AI summary

Lead samurai armies across 16th century Japan in massive real-time battles while managing diplomacy, economics, and espionage on the tactical campaign map to become the ultimate Shogun. The game blends the Creative Assembly's signature Total War formula with the strategic principles of Sun Tzu's Art of War, featuring enhanced 3D combat, multi-stage sieges, and online multiplayer for up to 8 players.

MASTER THE ART OF WAR
In the darkest age of Japan, endless war leaves a country divided. It is the middle of the 16th Century in Feudal Japan. The country, once ruled by a unified government, is now split into many warring clans. Ten legendary warlords strive for supremacy as conspiracies and conflicts wither the empire. Only one will rise above all to win the heart of a nation as the new shogun...The others will die by his sword.
Take on the role of one Daimyo, the clan leader, and use military engagements, economics and diplomacy to achieve the ultimate goal: re-unite Japan under his supreme command and become the new Shogun – the undisputed ruler of a pacified nation.

Game Features


Total War: SHOGUN 2 features enhanced full 3D battles via land and sea, which made a name for the series, as well as the tactical campaign map that many refer to as the heart and soul of Total War.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch
