The Shogun Total War: A Civil War Mod Like No Other

Total War games have always been known for their impressive graphics, but Shogun 2 stands out as a game that not only looks great but also plays beautifully. The game's visuals owe more to classic Japanese films like Kurosawa's Ran and Kagemusha than to reality, giving each battle a dreamlike quality that is unmatched by any other Total War game.

With its Fall of the Samurai expansion, Shogun 2 became even better, turning it into the best gunpowder-era Total War game. The game's attention to detail is impressive, with every aspect of the game world, from the characters to the environments, feeling meticulously crafted.

One of the things that sets Shogun 2 apart from other games in the series is its ability to balance grand-scale battles with intimate, individual combat. Once the battle is joined and all reserves have been committed, you can zoom down to ground level and watch individual sword duels play out amidst the chaos.

Shogun 2 is a game that has gathered all the best ideas from previous Total War games and married them to a beautiful aesthetic inspired by its setting. If you could only play one Total War game, this should be it.
