Total War Games, Which Are the Ones You Must Play?

February 24, 2023 Posted by Jane Smith Editorial No Comments

If you are a gamer and a fan of strategies, there are small chances that you haven’t heard about the Total War game series. Games that put the player at a country’s head and involve them in some of the best real-time and turn-based strategies are a favorite in this category. Lead your country’s economy, politics, and military advancement while using different methods and means to achieve your goal and conquer the continent (in most cases Europe). Relive the greatest inventions in human history in this very accurate game when it comes to timeline events. Meet famous generals such as Julius Caesar, William Wallace, Alexander the Great, Atilla, and many others.

Why Is Total War Franchise Special?

The undisputed appeal and attractiveness of this franchise is the genius of the team that developed the game and invented all the ways you are engaged in ruling your country. At the start, you choose which nation you want to represent. You can make your decision based on the location of the nation, are you cozy with your neighbors and allies? Or based on the military units they possess. What about wealth, influence, or religion? The choice is not so simple you see. Then you have two screens, one which represents the campaign map and the second which represents the thousands of your units ready for battle with the enemy. But among more than 10 titles, which one you should try?

Total War: Medieval 2

The most popular Total War game is this one. It relocates players from the classical era to the medieval era, following the dark years between 1080 and 1580, when the crusades were the most important event. It was historically a time of inventions, ideas, literature, artwork, and philosophy for the regions spared the devastation of the upcoming Mongol invasion. The period in which the game is set is when gunpowder first started to be employed in warfare. The creators did a tremendous job accurately re-creating the period-appropriate battle mechanics to a considerable extent. There are an amazing 17 factions that you can choose with different missions.

Total War: Rome 2

There are some bugs in this game, mostly about controlling specific units in battle mode. But even with them, we bet that you will like them! And when we talk about betting, there is no better place for that than wetten.com. Although it is ten years old, it is still one of the three most popular and challenging Total War games. The creators have done a fantastic job updating the expansive campaign map adding even more new areas, cities, and provinces. The game includes far more complex scientific, civil, artistic, and army growth trees than preceding Total War editions. Rome 2’s real-time conflicts give users the impression that they are a part of the action thanks to greatly improved 3D graphics and realistic battlefield emotions.

Total War: Warhammer 2

The best Total War game to date is probably Warhammer 2. The second installment in the Total War: Warhammer trilogy, is a very ambitious game that develops on the Warhammer realm, which features 15 different original fantasy races, including Woodland Elves, Dwarfs, numerous kinds of Orcs, and more. A game good as this one is important as it will increase your happiness while gaming. Campaign maps are mind-blowing in their variety and depth of magic, lore, and other stuff. Warhammer 2 offers a staggering 70 playable factions in total. Each side has its collection of special skills, military units, characters, and magic tricks.

Conclusion

These three titles will give you so much fun, and provide you with hours of fun and entertainment. Total War: Medieval 2, Rome 2, and Warhammer 2 must be a part of your video games collection. As they are timeless classics, you will come back to them again and again, changing factions, missions, units, and allies. Conquer the whole campaign map, and prove to everyone that you are the best general around.
