Each comes in two flavors: lighter Ashigaru units are cheaper and more expendable, while the pricier Samurai variants offer more power. There’s a mix of archers, swordsmen, mounted troops, spearmen, and even more exotic units like fire bombers. This time around, Creative Assembly pared down the overwhelming number of unit options to a more manageable selection of core troops. Playing as a clan of your choosing – which in turn comes with a unique set of perks depending on your selection – you start off with a small army, a meager settlement, and perhaps a farm or two to lord over. The turn-based civilization management portion of the game plays out across a beautiful world map of Japan that’s expansive without being overwhelmingly huge. Shogun 2’s core mix of turn-based strategy and real-time combat is still intact, though lots of subtle changes and updates give the formula better balance and make it more digestible to newcomers. It’s a perfect setup for some serious warmongering, yet there are also plenty of opportunities to frolic in the ripe fields of civic duty as well. As the daimyo of one such clan, you must bolster your forces, capture nearby provinces, and seize control of Kyoto to claim the shogunate before your rivals do. The current shogun has grown weak and the rival clans scattered across the land are all poised to make a grab for power. Set in the turbulent Sengoku period of Japan’s history, the game’s campaign mode opens in a time of great unrest.
