“A rare total war that is not a DLC scum-fest. Everything feels slower pace. You'll hit end-turn a lot more than in other total wars, but actual campaign length is pretty similar in terms of realtime spent. It's an…”

“Still great game after quite some years, feels grounded and realistic, with fun battles and many interesting gameplay mechanics. A shame they didn't expand it further with DLC's.”
“This game is good, I love the art style and the units as well as the factions. Using the longbowmen was fun and I actually manually fought siege battles because there was a lot of variety in the siege map. However what…”

“One of the sloggiest Total War titles ever made. So much repetition, poor design choices, bland units and research options. Horrible building options where most seem absolutely obsolete besides a choice few. Tried to…”

“It is barely a total war game. They really tried to do everything outside of the combat differently and it would be great. It would be absolutely amazing to have more politicking and logistical management if LITERALLY…”

“The game feels so undercook that its painful. So much potential has been wasted here. Good ideas and mechanics executed badly. You could have had Shogun 2.”
“Suppose it has historical value and such, but its not particularly play able. You get to fight an army of 4 units at turn 1, but usually takes multiple turns to get more units and moving them to the next fight. the…”

“Unplayable. Glitchy/laggy. Spent 40 min troubleshooting trying to fix it, but no fix online or on YouTube worked for me. RTX 3060 GPU. Too bad, seemed like a good game.”
“Really wanted to play this game but despite trying hard with Sega support couldn't get it to stop constantly crashing on load up, transition out of battle or clicking on a settlement. Apparently it is not fully…”
“This game is incredibly disappointing. It suffers from numerous bugs and technical issues, and the difficulty is laughably easy—even on Very Hard or Legendary settings. Some regions lack access to important buildings,…”

“Good game but can get a little bit repetive, but good details and combat.”
“1. Poor army roster. 2. You will win 2-3 times and you wont play this game again. 3. Amazing battle music. 4. Worst naval battles ever.”

— a player, Steam review · 61 hrs played“This game had great potential. The return to the multiple town settlements and the new recruitment mechanics in combination with its wonderful score and siege battles made for potentially a really fun experience reminiscent of Shogun 2. Unfortunately like most historical titles…”
