Then there is the huge watery expanse in this Total War Warhammer 2 map that distances the land masses, where the main part of the game takes place. The graphics have been tweaked, as is normally the case for Total War games, but the performance hit is pretty minimal and the game is accessible to a broad range of PCs through their highly customisable graphics options menu, which we have covered in great detail already in the TWW2 PC Performance Report. This is always quite a spectacle.Īs I swirl around the campaign map (much bigger than the one in its prequel), wondering where to begin this review journey, it occurs to me there are actually very few standout changes between the first Total War Warhammer game and this sequel. Here your fantasy armies of dark elves or rat-men are each individually animated and put into organised units on a battle map, where you fight strategically, in real time, against your enemy. Then when you send an army over to meet with another army, you zip down to a regional battle map. Each turn, you’re trying to take over more cities from the other factions or strike up diplomatic ties and trade arrangements, gradually gathering resources and strengthening your legendary leaders and the armies they control. Choose a faction, develop cities and build and move armies on the campaign map in a turn-based system with other factions. If you really don’t know anything about this game then let me present to you a brief summary of how it all happens. While each of the three intended parts of the Total War Warhammer trilogy can sync together to help create one mind-achingly huge experience, each game is also playable alone, coming with its own massive campaign which still provides the PC gamer hundreds of hours of gameplay.Īnd so on to this newest version of the Total Warhammer universe. But I imagine most of you aren’t newcomers to this PC-only champion.įirst, let me explain. This union is enormous in all ways and we are only on part two of the planned trilogy. If you haven’t heard of either of those titans then welcome, step out of that cave you’ve been hiding in - you’re in for a real treat.
Then on the other side, you have the long-standing fantasy lore of the mighty Warhammer, by Games Workshop. On the one side you have Total War, itself the leader of campaign map management mixed with real-time mass battles. Total War Warhammer 2 smooshes two franchises that were destined to unite closer together.
