Shogun: Total War vs Soldiers Inc
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.
Soldiers Inc
Soldiers Inc is a military-themed MMO strategy game set in a futuristic world where natural resources are running low worldwide except for the African country of Zandia. In this game, you assume the role of a military contractor. You are sent by your employers to do "whatever it takes" to lay claim to the land and stop others from doing the same. Build and develop a fortified forward base, recruit mercenaries to field your army, and send them out to take out other bases around the region. Forge alliances with like-minded players and work together to keep everyone else out from tapping into the wealth of resources the region has to offer.Although the PvP aspect of this game can be rather intense at times, Soldiers Inc provides players with many hours of solid fun as they try to rise up the ranks on the leaderboard.
