Might & Magic IX vs Total War: Warhammer II
Might & Magic IX
Might & Magic IX once more takes you on an intriguing adventure, set in a standalone part of the world of Ashan. Here you are a part of shipwrecked raiders and you are set upon a strange path. The Beldonian warlord Tamur Leng is attempting an invasion, and it falls to you to stop him and save this land from the evil intentions of the warlord. Thus begins an adventure that will take you to the very limit. Though in a break from tradition there are very few references or returning characters from the other games in the series.With a different set of options, this has a unique rules set too, once more making it much more standalone than you would think. You get to choose the strengths, races and classes of the characters and from there you can continue to improve them, with many of the tactical elements you know, but with a less polished finish this game, while fun is one of the weaker of the series.
Total War: Warhammer II
Total War: Warhammer II drops you into this universe as the leader of one of 4 armies, bent on either saving or controlling the world depending on the race you play. Choose to be a saviour as a High Elf or Lizardman, or take control as the Dark Elves or rat like Skaven. The twin comets have destabilized the Vortex that holds back the tides of Chaos, and you must decide what you will do, and battle the other armies that stand in your way to claim victory.With a mix of both Real Time Strategy and Turn Based mechanics that popularized the series you have the controls and game style that you know with an incredible styling and the lore of this much loved universe. With a huge amount of gameplay, options to link to the first of the Warhammer games and some exciting upcoming patches there is a huge amount of fun and action to be found here.
