We're just surprised another game like Empire (this writers' favorite) or Shogun 2 (one of fans' favorites) wasn't chosen first. So the choice to port Medieval II makes sense, and we're far from disappointed - we'll definitely be sinking loads of hours into it when it comes out. The mughal empire was relevant due to its downfall and british conquest of india. But it focuses on providing more content in the form of units, armies, and regions, related to the period that ranges between the second half of the XIX century up until the First World War. All the factions found within the total war game have been relevant to the general historicle theme of the game. Victoria: Total War is a remaster of the original Empire: Total War game using the same base engine of Empire. So while Empire: Total War has firearms and Warhammer (and later) Total Wars have heroes, both of which bring significant shake-ups to gameplay, Medieval II and Rome feel quite similar to play.īut it's possible these similarities are what makes Medieval II an easy port: the map is pretty similar to Rome (though much bigger) and Feral doesn't need to work out a way to bring guns and ability-toting characters to battles. Everything is historicle up until the the year the game begins, then the sandbox adventure begins. True to the Total War-series, the game is divided into two parts: The turn-based.
Total War: Medieval II was the next game made by Creative Assembly (Total War's developers) after Rome, so it follows that it'd be the next title to port, but unless Feral is going to bring every single Total War game to mobile, we think it's an odd choice.ĭon't get us wrong: Medieval II is a great game - this writer has nearly 200 hours logged into it in Steam - but it's an odd choice compared to Rome.įirstly there's the reception to each game: on Metacritic (admittedly a hugely ropey way of comparing popularity), Medieval II is one of the few classic Total War games sitting at a sub-90 score, with 88 (which is still impressively high).īut more importantly, both Medieval II and Rome are quite similar gameplay-wise, even for Total War games: in the grand scheme of things the time periods they're based on aren't that far removed chronologically, and war wasn't that different. Set in the 18th century, Empire: Total War puts the player in control of elven different nations including England, America, Prussia, Russia, Austria, France and Spain conquering provinces all over Europe, North America and India both through diplomacy or force. However, Medieval II wouldn't be our first choice if we had to guess which were coming. This game looks fun, but what's arguably the bigger news is that clearly Feral didn't stop with Rome: Total War, and is working to bring more Total Wars to mobiles over time.
