Total War: Shogun 2 vs Tribal Wars 2
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.
Tribal Wars 2
Tribal Wars 2 is a fantastic MMORTS game set in medieval times in a war-torn land. The game provides pretty much the best of traditional strategic gameplay of developing your village, building an army and conquering neighboring towns. However, what sets Tribal Wars 2 apart from its predecessor is that "hero system", where you can and need to recruit powerful paladins to head your armies. Paladins themselves can be equipped with gear to further enhance their combat abilities. Being the newer game, Tribal Wars 2 also has a larger playerbase, allowing players like you to have an even more enjoyable time fighting tooth and nail for control of certain regions on the map.Tribal Wars 2 has everything you'd need from a high quality MMORTS game. Best yet, the game's available on your mobile devices - both Android and iOS - too!
