MWEB GameZone reviews the brilliant strategy game, Total War: Rome II.
Total War: Rome II reminds you of what Grand Strategy really is.The historical aspects of Total War: Rome II make it all the more epic as the game truly shows this with its insane amount of detail in every little aspect and even offers historical battles as a game mode where you can command your armies and re-write history or let history repeat itself by the tactics you choose and the decisions you make.
Total War: Rome II launched 10 years ago today, and remains a staple in the grand strategy genre in PC gaming.
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.
Bárbara writes: "History-inspired games have been around for a while and I’m pretty sure every gamer has come across one or two in their lifetime. And while they can be incredibly fun to play, their historical accuracy is often pretty shaky. Don’t get me wrong, in recent years developers have started to work harder to get facts right, but we’re still far from reality. Today we will explore 4 big games that butchered the chapters of history they are based on."
EA tried to market Battlefield 1 as an epic WW1 period piece. It was really just a hybrid of stripped down Battlefield 4 and Star Wars Battlefront (2015) disguised as WW1 shooter.
So you you are telling me historically you cant jump off a ten story building into hay and live.
Veni, vidi, vici - time to break out the cohorts and lay some beat down on those barbarians. Senatus Populus Que Romanum and all that. Actually, now I am thinking about Asterix and Obelix comics.
I love this series, and I am seriously considering getting it.
What a great review, makes you actually want to play it
I'm a fan of the big huge strat types, but the Total War series never really caught my attention... Who knows, i might try this...
