graphics are nice but the game play is boring and repetitive, i've played alot of TW's infact since the first shogun and this game just feels hollow and boring, there's to no really dynamic to the buildings or anything. units are accurate but just feels like there's not much range, campaign feels linear in comparison to rome 2 where you kinda had free reign and some scripted events but this is just like the game devs are trying to hold your hand.
overall in my opinion lack luster, great graphics but i'd rather play rome 2 TW as it has more variety in the gameplay and it doesnt feel linear just feels like they are going backwards and not really giving you much for your money, honestly just play rome 2 total war its cheaper has more varied gameplay and set in the a similar era bronze age. the combat mechanics are good but its made boring due to the lack of variety in the units.
