Soldiers Inc vs Total War: Shogun 2
Soldiers Inc
Soldiers Inc is a military-themed MMO strategy game set in a futuristic world where natural resources are running low worldwide except for the African country of Zandia. In this game, you assume the role of a military contractor. You are sent by your employers to do "whatever it takes" to lay claim to the land and stop others from doing the same. Build and develop a fortified forward base, recruit mercenaries to field your army, and send them out to take out other bases around the region. Forge alliances with like-minded players and work together to keep everyone else out from tapping into the wealth of resources the region has to offer.Although the PvP aspect of this game can be rather intense at times, Soldiers Inc provides players with many hours of solid fun as they try to rise up the ranks on the leaderboard.
Total War: Shogun 2
Total War: Shogun 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the groundbreaking original game, Shogun: Total War. Set in the darkest age of Feudal Japan right after the collapse of a unified government (in 16th century to be exact), many warring clans have risen through the chaos and out of them, 10 legendary warlords, or Daimyos, have their eyes set on the coveted position of shogun, but only one of them will be able to reunite a warring island.The gameplay is pretty similar to the original game. The campaign map features a turn-based, Risk-style gameplay while the actual battles themselves (rendered in glorious 3D) are played out in real-time. However, this time around, the game is filled with a ton of new units, including massive warships, as well as a more in-depth strategic gameplay based on the ancient texts in Sun Tzu's Art of War. There are multi-stage sieges, unique hero units who can be improved through standard RPG methods, and that the campaign map is now in 3D as well and can be rotated whichever way you like.
The campaign in Total War: Shogun 2 can also be played cooperatively (2 players), but if you truly want to test your skills, you can engage in epic online battles with up to 8 other players.
This game does the very first Total War game justice and is the sort of game that fans of the series would greatly enjoy. Also, considering that the game came out more than 5 years ago, the graphics in the game is still pretty relevant today... so I guess, that's another bonus.
