Overlords of War
Overlords of War is a brilliant MMO strategy game that set you on either side of the epic clash between good and evil that has erupted in the once-peaceful world of Tai Yi. You'll need to develop your kingdom, manage your resources, grow your army and lead them into battle against the opposing side. The game may not have the most unique storyline, but it has a pretty special gameplay in addition to all the usual MMO strategy stuff. The ability to strategize and make full use of your combat skills are crucial in ensuring victory. If done correctly, you could even turn the tide of battle and win a war even if your army’s battle power is slightly less than your opponents’.If you’re looking for a MMO strategy game that relies more on having a good head on your shoulders rather than having an overwhelming number of troops, Overlords of War is definitely a game you should check out. Give it a try today!
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.
