This is the best Total War game ever made, along with the expansion. The only thing that should be improved is the diplomacy, could be a perfect game if it worked better. You could fight incredible medieval fights and with the expansion, even experience firearms. Each faction has it's bonuses, agents of many kinds, you could send units without generals to defend, attack, reinforce.... Always loved defending a castle here against armies 3x times higher with rains of samurai arrows.

An evolution to the Total War series (and apparently the naming format). The Sengoku era of Japan (and the latter Fall of Samurai expansion) truly bring out a charm out of the game. The sea combat and sieges are difficult to master, but land battles were somewhat simplified into rock-paper-scissors units. And the major change here is that the general is not a hero, but just an element in the background that needs to be protected. But the battles themselves were amazing, especially with one-on-one Samurai battles with fluid choreography. Multiplayer was also fun, wherein the other players don't need to wait all the time but can get to control units in other players' battles. Really great to have experienced that with my brother. As always, would love to get the whole series on GOG one day.
