Sins of a Solar Empire vs Total War: Warhammer
Sins of a Solar Empire
Sins of a Solar Empire is a massive real-time strategy game with an impressively in-depth background story filled with political intrigue, faction conflicts and a mysterious divisive influence that threatens to tear the Advent Unity apart from within. Play as a loyalist ot a rebel and amass a space fleet consisting of a wide variety of ships including Capital ships, Corvettes and the scales-tipping Titan class warships. Sins of a Solar Empire is also a uniquely non-linear game where there are multiple paths, be it military action or diplomacy, that you can take to obtain victory.The game even attempted to coin a new genre called "4X" that stands for eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate which is basically what the game is all about. You'll be exploring the solar system, expanding your fleet, exploiting allies and exterminating your enemies. After all, the survival of your faction should be your sole concern.
So, if building massive empires in space is your thing, Sins of a Solar Empire is exactly the game you need to play.
Total War: Warhammer
Total War: Warhammer perfectly combines one of the best fantasy-adventure literature of all time with one of the best historical real-time strategy games in gaming history. Deviating from their usual historically-based titles, Total War: Warhammer is set in the rich, expansive, and most defintiely fictional universe of Warhammer, where war between the 5 major races, namely the Bretonnia, the Empire, the Dwarfs, the Vampire Counts and the Greenskins, is a pretty constant occurrence. Amass an army filled with all manner of creatures imaginable and appoint powerful Lords, equipped with the best items you cna offer, to lead your battalions in massive real-time battles.Not to mention, being a fantasy-themed game, you can now use magic to combat your foes and deploy flying units - the first time ever for a Total War game.
Featuring top-of-the-line graphics and animations, Total War: Warhammer is a marvellously-crafted and meticulously-designed masterpiece of a game. There are still some flaws that the game can work on like the sieges (need more stuff for defenders) and maybe not add in what should have been free game patches as purchasable DLCs, but that aside, the game is as great as large-scaled battles go.
