I started my fandom of the series with Empire and went on to play Napoleon.
We’ve already had two Total War games that utilized rifles and cannons. This expansion is the most contemporary Total War game to date, taking place during the same time period as the American Civil War. I skipped Rise, but when I saw the trailers for Fall, I just had to hop onto Steam and download it. Fall of the Samurai is the second expansion for Shogun 2 the first being a “prequel” Rise of the Samurai. I finally published my full review of Total War: Shogun 2 recently in preparation for writing this review of that game’s second expansion: Fall of the Samurai.

Players: Single-Player or online competitive multiplayer Platforms: PC (DVD or Steam) ESRB rating: Tįor: drug references, language, mild blood, sexual themes, violence This is a stand-alone expansion that does not add any content to the base game, but the new campaign should keep fans entertained for weeks!ĭeveloper: the Creative Assembly Publisher: Sega The omission of agent cutscenes and pre-battle prep speeches takes some of the flavor away.īattlefield sound effects range from the clashing of swords, to the bang of rifles being discharged in unison, to barrages of artillery fire, to the wails of dead and dying all perfect audio supplements to the visual epicness of the battles. Campaign is very well-paced, and the relaxed victory conditions allow for (and encourage) cooperative victories.Ĭombined arms assaults make navies more useful improved reinforcement mechanics help alleviate needless sacrifice of units, and helps balance city seiges. Maintains the series' trademark level of detail and graphical polish with as many as thousands of individual soldiers on screen at once in epic real-time battles, along with new weather effects and a prettier campaign interface.Ī compelling mish-mash of traditional Japanese sword, spear, and bow units along with industrial rifles, cannons, ironclads, and gatling guns.
