SHOGUN: Total War™ - Collection

Ahhh, the game that started it all.. I love it. I can't figure out the campaign though

TOTAL WAR: SHOGUN - не могу сказать, что играл много! Куплено для коллекции игр по Total War! Палец вверх из-за благодарности авторам за другие игры серии, в которых провел сотни часов когда-то (Medieval 2, Rome 2, Shogun 2)

A Timeless Strategy Classic I just finished 100% completing both the main campaign and the Mongol Invasion in Shogun: Total War, The very first!! and I honestly had an absolute blast the entire time. For a game released in 2000, it still delivers some of the most tense, atmospheric, and rewarding strategy gameplay I’ve experienced. The campaign map is clean and focused, but every decision feels meaningful. Expansion, diplomacy, honour, clan management — it all matters. There’s no bloat, just pure strategic depth. The battles are where it really shines. Watching lines of yari ashigaru hold the line while samurai crash into combat never gets old. Morale is EVERYTHING in this game, and when a well-timed cavalry charge collapses an enemy flank, it feels earned. It’s slower and more methodical than modern Total War titles, but that’s exactly why it works so well. Positioning, terrain, and timing actually matter. 100%ing the main campaign was incredibly satisfying, but the Shogun: Total War - The Mongol Invasion expansion added a whole new layer of challenge. Facing the Mongol hordes completely changes the pacing — suddenly you’re on the defensive against relentless, high-quality armies. It pushed me to adapt, rethink my strategies, and really master the mechanics. Finishing both campaigns felt like a genuine accomplishment. There’s also something special about the atmosphere. The music, the UI, the pre-battle speeches — it all creates this grounded, almost meditative samurai-era vibe that newer games sometimes lose in scale. Even today, this game proves that strong design outlives graphics. If you’re a strategy fan and want to experience where the Total War series began, this is absolutely worth your time. 100% completed. Zero regrets. Still legendary.
