Shogun 2: Total War – Fall of the Samurai Review: A Fantastic Clash of Old and New
Publisher: SEGA
Developer: The Creative Assembly
Genre: Turn-Based Historical Strategy
Platform: PC
Release Date: March 22nd 2012
ESRB: T – Teen
Without a doubt The Creative Assembly’s newest addition to their Total War series, Shogun 2, is one of the best historical strategy games out there right now. On top of that Shogun 2 itself also happens to be the most polished and well crafted installment in the long-running franchise to date which speaks novels when looking at past titles like Rome and Medieval 2 – both of which are still enjoyed by PC gamers today thanks to an active, hard working modding community.
Since its release in 2011, Shogun 2 has seen two significant releases: the mini-campaign Rise of the Samurai which threw players into the Genpei War of the 12th century and the new Fall of the Samurai expansion that follows the tumultuous period leading up to and including the Meiji Restoration of the late 19th century. The latter of the two is what we’re going to specifically be looking at today.

For $29.99 what looks to be the most ambitious installment to the series yet can be yours. If you place your order now over Steam ahead of time you’ll receive the original soundtrack for the game along with the Tsu clan. That’s not all though. Pre-ordering the Sega Store Edition and/or Limited Edition will each grant you access to a unique playable clan as well. Read on for full details and trailer…
