That's why you have to try Total War: Shogun 2
In Shogun 2, released in 2011, the strategy series returned to its origins – in ancient Japan. We gave an 87 in the test back then, because it was until then roundest total war experience bot. We particularly liked the campaign, in which you take over one of nine Japanese clans. We rated the replay value very high because each clan poses different challenges.
The Reich administration was streamlined and made it even more fun. A special innovation was that you were able to specialize your agents for the first time: everyone was given their own talent tree, in which you could turn ninjas into assassins or saboteurs.
Shogun 2 is ideal for newcomers, because all the elements work together harmoniously and are polished to a high gloss without the features being overwhelming. You can find our complete review of Shogun 2 here:
