Total War: MEDIEVAL II, developed by Feral Interactive and available on Android, offers the perfect blend of intricate turn-based strategy and massive real-time combats set in the turbulent Middle Ages. The game spans across three continents, throwing the player into spectacular conflicts where the greatest kingdoms of the era compete for supremacy. The player's challenge lies in controlling resources and securing loyalty to command an empire stretching from Western Europe to the sands of Arabia.
The Strength of Nations feature allows the unlocking of 17 playable factions, paving the way to building them into dominant global powers through statecraft, subterfuge or war. The Kingdoms Expansion, available via in-app purchase, offers four fully featured campaigns with 24 playable factions, each with unique challenges and settings. The Art of War follows the old-school approach to gameplay where the player can command infantry, archers, and cavalry with an array of medieval weaponry. The Tools of State feature require the player to use diplomacy, manage lucrative trade agreements, and deploy agents to form alliances, or destabilise the enemies.
In my experience, the Total War: MEDIEVAL II offers a unique and captivating gaming experience like no other with a riveting mix of real-time and turn-based gaming strategies. The game’s intricate design and attention to detail in depicting the different factions and weaponry make it a delight for history and gaming enthusiasts alike. Its immersive gameplay coupled with stunning visuals and sound effects make every single battle epic, ensuring players never have a dull moment. Another reviewer noted that the game's depth of strategy, evident from the requirement to juggle diplomacy, trade and warfare, offers an unrivalled sense of satisfaction when a well-executed plan brings progress in the game.
