Aug 25, 2023Good game, solid mechanics, well planed tactical battles... Lack of innovation for the TW series, one more, almost the same, game
-
Feb 15, 2023You must get the Fall of the Samurai expansion. It combines the best parts of the base game with gunpowder-based warfare of Napoleon total war. While it might not be the overall best Total War (Medieval 2), FotS has the best battles.

Apr 22, 2021Best Total War game ever. Wonderful mechanics and good graphics for its time, good soldier options.

Feb 14, 2021토탈워가 보여준 고증이나 적절한 랜덤 닌자와 게이샤 등의 게임요소는 역시 고전이다라고 말할 수 있었다. 오랜 시간 동안 붙잡게 되고 짜증나는데 계속해서 하면 이기는 그 희열감. 좀 아쉬운 건 해전쪽 그거 외에는 트레일러와 컷씬 등 다양한 게임요소에 전국시대를 더 알고싶게 만들었다

Dec 12, 2020The last good Total War game. Simple gameplay even the series' infamously braindead AI can grasp, great authentic music, and graphics that look stunning 9 years after release.
-
Dec 4, 2020the most beautiful game in the series, and a very enjoyable multiplayer mode.
-
Jul 26, 2020It's 2020 and I can still go back to this game. And is one of the few Total War games I keep going back to play time to time. Not many games have that replay value and still feels fun each time you play it.
Shogun 2 have, in my opinion, the smoothest gameplay of all the Total War games. Which makes it a more fun experience to play. -
Jun 26, 2020Use Yari Ashigaru and Bow Ashigaru and Profit ,and take Oda for max efficiency
-
Jun 22, 2020It's the most masterpiece in the Total War series. It is the most interesting game.
It's like a real medieval Japanese war game.
I think the samurai of that era would have actually been at war like this. -

May 1, 2020One of the revolutionary games of the Total War series. Graphic quality and strategic depth are very good. The atmosphere is at the masterpiece level.
-
Feb 26, 2020My favorite total war, great map, units and battles, give a great feel for Japan in the era. General and agent upgrades could be more meaningful though.
-
Feb 26, 2020Fantastic visuals, music and unit design make for one of the better modern total war titles.
-
Feb 9, 2020One of the best totalwar game I ever played. It was like medieval 3 but more paced and better in every side. With super graphics, sounds fun gameplay and well designed details. It were creative game to make in strategy category.
Graphics:10/10
Sounds: 10/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Fun: 10/10 -
Jan 30, 2020The last truly great total war game. Not as moddable as the previous titles but the game offers a truly great experience in a fun time period. I didn't give it 10/10 only because there are some pathfinding issues on certain sieges but those are easily ignored.
-
Jul 31, 2019grat fun game its really good and tthe battles are really fun to play and the clans are historically accurate and pretty good
-
Apr 20, 2019super great and polished, the feeling of the game and also the naval is very important and strategic than any total war game since japan is like a large island
-
Jan 27, 2019Even tho you may argue that battles may be easy against AI, Shogun 2 delivers excellent gameplay which is easy to learn but difficult to master. Graphics still hold to this day maybe aside from character models. Each clan seems unique, which offers great replayability. Overall excellent game in which I spent many hours and will probably spend a lot more.

May 29, 2016This was the second RTS game i played after AOE for a beginner this game was perfect aside from the occasionally mess up form the AI i think this game hits all the expectations they promise
-
Feb 25, 2016Have lost a ridiculous amount of hours in this comfy strategy game over the years, decided to give it some love on the review website too.
One of the better total War games ever released and there are some fantastic mods for it to make it even better. If anyone actually hasn't played it yet, go ahead and give it a shot. I highly doubt you'll regret it. -
Jul 7, 2015Amazing detail in everything that happens on the battlefield. The game is paced a little too realistically though. Just when my lords are getting really great they get too old to fight and need to be replaced. In fact the real annoyance with this game is it follows the historical timeline too closely. The combat is solid and strategies usually pan out if you plan them well.

Jul 14, 2011There is a je ne sais quoi elegance on how the game is presented and how well put together the game as an entire corpus is. Although it's still mired by some version 1.0 bugs, Shogun is highly playable and deserves a place on any Total War fan's hard drive.
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)May 22, 2011Beautiful, complex and varied historical strategy which offers hours of fun in single player and multiplayer modes. [Issue#203]
-
May 1, 2011The mix of turn based strategy (with economical, political and diplomatic ramifications) and real time battles is still wonderful, but the need to balance timing and aggression is more important than ever. Aggressive players will feel a little cheated, while diplomats will hate Realm Divide stage. Still, Total War was always about realism and the AI's scripted actions make logical and historical sense.
