Shogun: Total War vs The Battle of Polytopia
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.
The Battle of Polytopia
The Battle of Polytopia is a fun turn-based strategy game that has a really unique art style and is the flagship game of the small indie game studio in Sweden, Midjiwan. Choose any of the tribes available and set off on an exciting adventure across a rich and diverse world filled with places to explore, and areas to claim for your empire. Best yet, the game generates a random map whenever you start a new game, giving you literally unlimited replayability.Since its release, The Battle of Polytopia has been really well-received, rocketing the small indie company to substantial fame, which admittedly is a pretty high feat, especially for a company's first game. So, if you are a fan of turn-based strategy games, you'll want to try this game out.
