Total War: SHOGUN 2 is still one of the best strategy games Creative Assembly has ever made. Instead of overwhelming the player with hundreds of different unit types and mechanics, the game keeps things focused and polished, which makes every battle feel tactical and meaningful. The setting of feudal Japan is fantastic, and the art direction, soundtrack, and atmosphere work together perfectly. Watching lines of samurai clash while arrows rain down and drums play in the background never really gets old. The campaign strikes a great balance between empire management and large-scale battles. Diplomacy, positioning, and army composition all matter, and victories feel genuinely earned - especially on higher difficulties. The good: - Excellent tactical battles - Beautiful art direction and atmosphere - One of the best settings in the Total War series - Focused and polished gameplay - Satisfying progression throughout the campaign - Strong soundtrack and sound design - Battles are cinematic and memorable - Good balance between strategy and accessibility - Realm Divide creates intense late-game pressure - Still looks surprisingly good today The bad: - AI diplomacy can be frustrating - Realm Divide can feel unfair sometimes - Limited unit variety compared to other Total War games - Naval battles are mediocre - Campaign pacing slows down in late game - Some siege battles become repetitive - Pathfinding issues still happen occasionally - Multiplayer community is much smaller nowadays Overall, SHOGUN 2 is one of those rare strategy games where almost everything just clicks together. It’s focused, atmospheric, and incredibly satisfying to play even years after release.
Over a dozen Total War titles have launched since Shogun 2 debuted in 2011, yet it is still one of the absolute best in the series. It captures the nostalgic, classic charm of the older games and a distinct aesthetic that none of the other games have been able to replicate. And regardless of its age, it still runs good as new. As of 2026, I still come back to it for more.
If you want medieval, this game got it.. if you want late napoleonic/early victorian this game also got it
Best of the Total War games by far.
今でも普通に楽しめるんだけど、corei7が存在しない時代のゲームなので、CPUを2コアしか使ってくれなかったり、ボーダーレスフルスクリーンを公式対応してなかったり、キャンペーンマップでフリーズしやすかったり、古いゆえの問題はある。
这部作品的间谍角色太恶心了,多起来开挂都打不赢,想体验在包围网把敌人所有军队打爆后自己的领土和军队全部被间谍收买走就买吧
( где то на землях клана Ода ) -"Как сделать максимально опасного воина который ♥♥♥♥♥ не умеет? Берем просто крестьянина который вообще ничего не умеет и мы его обучаем роботать с яри там две недели, все, отправляем на войну. Асигару с яри затыкает кого угодно ♥♥♥♥♥ любого элитного самурая который там 10-15 лет тренировался, просто асигару с длиным яри, на-на-на-на-на, попал в глаз, пока, все, ты можешь всю жизнь тренироватся, асигару с яри просто ♥♥♥♥♥ тебя затыкает"
Crazy to think these little yellab*stards made nintendo and sony walkmans and tvs 300 years later.
one of the best total war game CA has ever made and a good total war game to start with theres also a very active modding scene so you can add even more flavors into the game or something, if that matters
超过1080p以上分辨率(如2k/4k屏)的屏幕基本无法正常游戏,因为老游戏没有支持动态GUI(会导致按钮和字体非常小),除非手动改系统分辨率,但是那样就太糊了 而且这作评分也是虚高的,相比其他历史系作相对拉胯
