Age of Empires: Castle Siege vs Shogun: Total War
Age of Empires: Castle Siege
Age of Empires: Castle Siege is a mobile spin-off of the popular and classic real-time strategy franchise, Age of Empires. Due to its MMO nature, the gameplay is drastically changed in this version of the game, giving players more of a Clash of Clans feel but with an Age of Empires twist. You'll still get to choose a civilization to play as, build a castle along with strong fortifications, and amass an army to raid other people's castles.Surprisingly, the game was pretty well-received by many of the game's fans and has garnered itself a sizeable following among mobile gamers. Some may even venture as far as to say that this game is much better than Clash of Clans. Well, whether this is true or not, we'll let you decide - try the game now!
Shogun: Total War
Shogun: Total War is the first original title in a legendary, 15-year (and counting), award-winning, real-time strategy game series that currently spanned across multiple themes and settings. However, this game is set in ancient Japan - 1542 to be exact - when the last shogunate collapsed and the entire nation is thrown into conflict as multiple daimyo (faction leaders) vie for the most powerful seat. To make things worst, Europeans have also ventured to island at this point, bringing guns, religion and disease - factors that you'll eventually have to deal with if you are to attain the people's support and conquer the whole of Japan.The gameplay in Shogun: Total War is akin to Rise of Nations in the sense that each battle is carried out in real-time, but moving your troops on the world map is pretty much turn-based (Risk-style). However, unlike the latter, the battle itself is purely consisted of the actual fighting rather than having you build a base and amassing resources and an army. Instead, Shogun lets you view the entire battlefield from any view you like and send commands to your troops as the battle unfolds. This is basically something that's unheard of until this game came along.
Shogun: Total War may be an old game by modern standards, and due to this, many players might simply opt for its sequel in order to have a taste of that this game has to offer. However, if you truly want to experience the very first of the Total War series, this is the game to play.
