Total War: SHOGUN 2 unfolds in the darkest age of Japan, the middle of the 16th century, when endless war has shattered a once-unified nation into many warring clans. Ten legendary warlords vie for supremacy amid conspiracies and conflict, yet only one can rise above the rest to win the heart of the nation as the new shogun while the others fall by his sword. You take on the role of a Daimyo, a clan leader, and wield military force, economics and diplomacy toward the ultimate goal of reuniting Japan under your command.
The strategy game delivers enhanced full 3D battles across land and sea alongside the tactical campaign map many regard as the heart and soul of the series. Its standout addition is an AI system inspired by the millennia-old Chinese Art of War, the same scriptures that shaped Japanese warfare; studying that text let the developers craft gameplay that is easy to understand yet strategically deep. Across the islands of 16th-century Japan you lead vast armies of samurai and fleets of giant warships into breathtaking real-time battles, building your kingdom on PC as you press toward becoming the undisputed ruler of a pacified nation.
