Evony: The King's Return vs Shogun: Total War
Evony: The King's Return
Evony: The King's Return is a rather addictively entertaining MMORTS game where you can play as the ruler of a powerful (and real-life) culture in a fictional world. The gameplay is not very special if compared to the tons of other MMO strategy games out there, but the overall gaming experience afforded by its emphasis on historically accurate cultures, coupled with perfectly-tailored visuals and music, is quite unique. You can even sign up to join an alliance and work together to take down tough boss monsters on the map or even a rival alliance city. Oh and of course, let’s not forget about the game’s incredible generosity. By simply logging in daily, you can get some amazing rewards. So, if you are looking for a new mobile MMORTS game to play, you might want to check out Evony: The King’s Return.Shogun: Total War
Shogun: Total War is the first original title in a legendary, 15-year (and counting), award-winning, real-time strategy game series that currently spanned across multiple themes and settings. However, this game is set in ancient Japan - 1542 to be exact - when the last shogunate collapsed and the entire nation is thrown into conflict as multiple daimyo (faction leaders) vie for the most powerful seat. To make things worst, Europeans have also ventured to island at this point, bringing guns, religion and disease - factors that you'll eventually have to deal with if you are to attain the people's support and conquer the whole of Japan.The gameplay in Shogun: Total War is akin to Rise of Nations in the sense that each battle is carried out in real-time, but moving your troops on the world map is pretty much turn-based (Risk-style). However, unlike the latter, the battle itself is purely consisted of the actual fighting rather than having you build a base and amassing resources and an army. Instead, Shogun lets you view the entire battlefield from any view you like and send commands to your troops as the battle unfolds. This is basically something that's unheard of until this game came along.
Shogun: Total War may be an old game by modern standards, and due to this, many players might simply opt for its sequel in order to have a taste of that this game has to offer. However, if you truly want to experience the very first of the Total War series, this is the game to play.
