About Total War: Shogun 2
Total War: Shogun 2 is a strategy game set in 16th-century Feudal Japan, where the country is divided among warring clans. You lead one of ten legendary warlords as a Daimyo, using military engagements, economics and diplomacy to reunite Japan, become Shogun and rule a pacified nation.
Campaign and battles
On a turn-based campaign map, you build your kingdom and use economic, political and military power to amass wealth, armies and influence. You lead samurai armies and fleets of giant warships in real-time battles on land and sea. The game’s AI system draws on Sun Tzu’s Art of War to shape strategic play.
Tactics and commanders
You can use fire and siege tactics, spies and assassins to respond to changing conditions on the battlefield and across your kingdom. Generals and Agents gain RPG skills and experience, while Hero units inspire your troops and fight through enemy forces. Multi-stage sieges require more than simply scaling the walls.
Multiplayer
You can play the main campaign in two-player mode. Online battles support up to eight players, who can lead armies in special campaigns.
Campaign map
The campaign map is turn-based and rotates in 3D.
