Social Empires vs Total War: Shogun 2
Social Empires
Social Empires is the fantasy/medieval-themed MMORTS spin-off of Social Point's other game, Social Wars. Playable on Facebook, the gameplay between both games are pretty similar. Basically, you'll need to build a base on the plot of land you're given, assemble an army, and eventually go all out on the offensive, attacking your rivals left and right. Aside from the warring aspect of the game, you'll also need to gather resources and use them to upgrade your buildings and your troops. Interestingly, the game has a souls-combining feature which you can use to obtain better units or even legendary fighters who are, more often than not, immensely powerful.Social Empires were shutdown by Social Point at least a few years now, unfortunately. However, for players who are looking to find a game similar to Social Empires, we might just have the games you seek - check them out below!
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.
