Strategy games are a niche category in the market these days. But that doesn’t mean they are not popular. One could argue that they are one of the most popular genres on PC. RTS or TBS, rest assured, they sell in bulks. And when it comes to strategy games, the name Total War is quite resoundingly recognisable.
Sunday October 14th marks the 952nd anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. It proved not only decisive in the Norman invasion of England, but a cultural turning point that changed the face of Britain forever.
PC Invasion takes a look at an interview with Thrones of Britannia game director Jack Lusted that was recently conducted by TW aficionado Cody Bonds. We also check out the trials the game faced prior to its launch, the growing pains it had in the past few months, the Total War community's reaction, and the upcoming changes that will try to revitalize interest in it once more.
Thrones of Britannia is a weird example of a game that is both very good in its own right but hard to recommend in the context of the franchise.
