Legends of Honor vs Total War: Shogun 2
Legends of Honor
Legends of Honor is a rather new, medieval-themed MMO strategy game that you can play on your browser. Developed by Goodgame Studios, the game features everything you might expect in the genre, including managing and developing your kingdom, building a massive army, and sending them out to war against the neverending swarm marauders or against other players. You can even join one of the three different factions and fight for the glory of the faction of your choice. Legends of Honor offers a much in-depth gameplay that sets it apart from the usual fanfare and we're certain fans of the strategy genre would find this game fun and intriguing at the very least.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.
