Shadow Kings: Dark Ages vs Total War: Warhammer
Shadow Kings: Dark Ages
Shadow Kings: Dark Ages allows you to enter a fantastical and beautiful 3D world where the forces of good and evil do battle! In this game, you’ll need to set up a strong economy as well as a strong army to carry out offensive excursions or even to defend your city from the frequent orc invasions. Build and upgrade your resource producing buildings and keep the productivity of your citizens high to ensure a stable flow of resources to fund your war efforts. Recruit and train a formidable army, consisting of units from all 3 major races in the game, namely the men, dwarves and elves, to defeat the shadow warriors once and for all and reclaim the land.Shadow Kings: Dark Ages is unfortunately no longer available, and we suppose this is probably why you're searching for a fun alternative game to play. Well, if that's the case, then you're in the right place!
Total War: Warhammer
Total War: Warhammer perfectly combines one of the best fantasy-adventure literature of all time with one of the best historical real-time strategy games in gaming history. Deviating from their usual historically-based titles, Total War: Warhammer is set in the rich, expansive, and most defintiely fictional universe of Warhammer, where war between the 5 major races, namely the Bretonnia, the Empire, the Dwarfs, the Vampire Counts and the Greenskins, is a pretty constant occurrence. Amass an army filled with all manner of creatures imaginable and appoint powerful Lords, equipped with the best items you cna offer, to lead your battalions in massive real-time battles.Not to mention, being a fantasy-themed game, you can now use magic to combat your foes and deploy flying units - the first time ever for a Total War game.
Featuring top-of-the-line graphics and animations, Total War: Warhammer is a marvellously-crafted and meticulously-designed masterpiece of a game. There are still some flaws that the game can work on like the sieges (need more stuff for defenders) and maybe not add in what should have been free game patches as purchasable DLCs, but that aside, the game is as great as large-scaled battles go.
