Great game, but don't buy it now because it will be free to keep from April 27 to May 1 2020. Edit: If you want to see current and upcoming free weekends and free to keep games go to this site: https://steamdb.info/upcoming/free/ (I'm not sure but Steam might delete that link, but that site can be found on Steamdb's website)Show moreShow less

Note: I've played Shogun 2 before on a borrowed laptop, but I DO NOT OWN SHOGUN 2 ON THIS STEAM ACCOUNT. This is a PSA to potential buyers about possible technical issues with Shogun 2, the Fall of the Samurai (FotS) "standalone expansion" and the steam store. If you buy FotS first, it uses the base game as a launcher. Because of this, Steam thinks that you already have the base game in your library, and will NOT ALLOW you to buy Shogun 2 for real. If you're like me and got FotS first, you can NEVER play the base campaign, because you can't BUY Shogun 2. Steam support doesn't understand what's going on and is unhelpful in this case. Just a PSA so someone doesn't buy FotS for their friend to try the series out and ends up blocking them from being able to play the base game.Show moreShow less

Please follow United Critics for quality reviews Total War: Shogun 2 Review Total War: Shogun 2 is a turn-based strategy game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega released on Windows in 2011 following macOS and Linux in 2015 and 2017. Set in the 16th century Sengoku period of Japanese feudal history, the country split into warring clans that Ten legendary warlords strive for supremacy to rise above all others and emerge as the new Shogun. Gameplay Shogun 2 starts with you taking a role of Daimyo, the clanleader. You will have to use military engagements, economics, and diplomacy to increase the power of your own clan, conquer the hostile clans, establish the control over Kyoto and, ultimately become the Shogun. It features naval and siege battles via land and sea, which became the watermark for the Total war series. Shogun 2 redefined the Total War franchise setting its core values and gameplay. The goal of the game is Expansion and acquisition as you'll need to capture and hold territories in addition to Kyoto to attain victory. There are two phases of gameplay - During the turn-based strategy mode, you’ll have to engage in diplomacy, manage your clan, your territories and make decisions, and fight in real-time battle mode, in which you’ll lead your armies to victory or humiliating defeat. The game portrays Generals and Agents with unique traits and abilities that the player able to improve as they gain experience. The armies and units organize and move around the campaign map by the player to carry out battles with other clans. The game refines troop variety with infantry, archers, and cavalry as the basic backbone of your army that includes Ashigaru, Samurai, etc. and on development you can unlock Ninjas, Ronins and Monks. You can also adopt Christianity to unlock gunpowder and its weapons like cannon, carracks but results in dishonor and social and religious unrest in your provinces. Shogun 2 has Special agents feature, for example – you can unlock ‘Ninja’, ‘Metsuke’ or ‘Geisha’ as your secret Assassins or Spies to carry out Assassinations or sabotage an enemy castle’s gates and important production structures to gain the upper hand. It also features ‘Monks ’ that can be used to convert the enemy population. Weather also plays big role in this game, it affects battles as fog greatly reduces visibility, while heavy rain diminishes the effectiveness of missile troops, such as archers or gunners, thus requiring the players to adapt their strategies. Diplomacy Diplomacy is the key in Shogun 2 during the first few turns. With alliances come serious responsibilities. Attacking an ally is very dishonorable, and while it may gain you the captured cities and its production capabilities, it reduces your Honour, a significant factor contributing to your peoples' happiness and the way other clans perceive you. Graphics Shogun 2 is beautiful and well detailed. The Rotatable campaign map is fully comprehensive, like peasants doing their daily chores and cherry blossoms falling from the trees during spring & autumn. Every Character has a historic Japanese painting type image card that looks gorgeous, and the user interface adorns beautiful Japanese calligraphy. Shogun 2's armies look fabulous. Each unit-type features incredible levels of detail, even warriors in the same unit often have unique faces and armor and mustaches. In addition to season-specific effects, spectacular individual touches, and splendid texture-work, especially in the rain. The graphics during battles are equally impressive, and the gameplay is excellent with old Japanese type sound effects and a constructive score. Worth It? Even after eight years, Total war Shogun 2 still stands as a compelling game that changed the future of Total War series forever. It is the most polished and incredible attention to detail, along with intelligent AI. Truly Shogun 2 is admirable with a more focused experience on the basics, and its grand atmosphere never leaves you hanging. It's truly worthy of being acclaim as the best among the Total War series. I can’t recommend it enough! Rating: 9/10 For full review head over to our websiteShow moreShow less

They decided to "update" the game with new DRM and a new "launcher (forced ads)" in 2023. Since then for some people (me included) the game no longer starts due to the finnicky new DRM which complains about Steam not running. There are no known fixes despite this issue being a year old. I would pirate this one if you want it functional.Show moreShow less

My Japanese history professor commended me for my extensive knowledge of feudal warfare and pronunciation of historical names. But he was annoyed when I kept yelling "A shamefur dispray!" whenever my classmates left the lecture hall to go to the restroom. 10/10Show moreShow less

I really like this game but at the same time really dislike creative assembly, while the issue with the mod manager is now fixed because of the lazy way they fixed it they broke other things in the process and now it is impossible to play custom maps in custom battles. there is no sign that they will ever fix this and it is very likely that as time goes on more "patches" to remove things like the chat will continue to happen causeing even more bugs and problems.Show moreShow less
