I know you’ll love to play with the Oda as much as I did – especially if you’re looking for a challenging session. Which was still as close to history as could be after a catastrophic start to my campaign. TW: S2 takes place during the feudal Japan period and gives the player a chance to lead one of several warring clans to control the divided country. I’ve even lost Nobunaga in the first few turns in one of my Oda playthroughs!Įxtremely annoying, but that led his son to become the Shogun that unified Japan. Total War: Shogun 2 is a strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega.The game is the sequel to the first game of the Total War series and the seventh overall installment in the franchise.
The first version of the series was Shogun: Total War. In Shogun 2 there are tons of viable army compositions, especially in single player. I actually find the Oda campaign to be one of the most challenging ones to play, for the sheer fact that they start at war and at a very compromising position to begin with.īecome the rival of the wrong factions too early in the campaign and you’ll end up signing a death sentence for yourself, and for your entire clan. The game includes turn-based strategy and resource management combined with real-time battle tactics. Shogun 2 is different from Rome 1 in that your tactics begin with your army composition, whereas in Rome 1 you would always try to hammer and anvil unless you were playing with horse archers. Is there really a better way to play Shogun 2 than with the Oda Clan? We all know that in real life, it was Oda Nobunaga himself who managed to unify Japan as he became the Shogun.Īnd just like it happened in real life, it’s not an easy feat to achieve in Shogun 2.
