Happy Total War Fan here

I am simply enjoying my time with warplanes WW1 then I saw the ad of this game in the menu. Saw the videos and youtube gameplay. Got my interest. Bought it. Played it and it was sooo awesome! As a total war fan. This the closest thing I can play shogun total war in VR. The immersion is great. The daimyo room, scrolls, economics, rock paper scissor system, battle movements and scenarios are amazing! Kudos to this team in creating a game like this in VR. Please create a Roman, Medieval, Napoleonic Eras next. Collaborate with Total War if you need to haha! Simply amazing! Congrats guys!

Shogun Empire

For context I’m a 49 year old man who’s enjoyed gaming for years. Cut back a fair bit with kids and work but really enjoying Shogun Empire 😁 I’ve never played the total war series. For me it’s sort of like a simpler age of empires 2 (which I loved years ago) in VR. Not as involved as that but there’s a fair bit going on. It’s a great mix of pick up and play while also having some depth to it. There’s some challenge and nuance to the gameplay which means you have to think. The benefit of course is the satisfaction of finally beating that castle level with your hobbled together force! You can play while seated (or standing). The point being this is a physically relaxed VR game in contrast to some of the more physical. My 13 year old is now also playing and loving it. Definitely recommended If the developers are reading; this in multiplayer or co-op would be brilliant!!

So far...it's amazing!

Homenet games makes the War Planes series, so I was curious to see what they would do here. This is actually a well thought out turn based combat strategy game. You can choose peace or invade through war. So far it has plenty of campaigns to play through and after a few hours in it, I felt confident enough to recommend it.

Out of nowhere…

After playing for hours I needed to re-review this awsome game. This is a strategic hex game that is very similar too Romance of the 3 kindoms resource game. This isn’t for everyone , you actually HAVE to think to manage the game. That being said… Follow the tutorial, several times if needed. Tips: All generals, troops all use rice. This is critical. Upgrade all your towns to produce rice. Concentrate-on rice. When rice prices are high, sell rice. When rice is low, buy rice. Whenever possible ask for peace and relations eventually buying the province. (They will help you with larger battles but will cost.) Get an upgrade as soon as possible the higher end cannon and the rockets, rifles are fun. Troops upgrade if you use them in battle AND you win. You can pay to upgrade but it’s not needed. Always try to defeat the general first if possible. Gieshas are good to do this before the battle even starts. Get her a soon as possible. Retreating enemies will join other clans. If you can eliminate as many as possible. Future battles will be less enemy’s. Tons more but you can figure out the rest. Don’t think, just buy it! Devs- perfect game! But PLEASE add multiplayer player online battles! So much potential here for that!

As addictive as civ

You are a daimyo in feudal Japan working to lead your clan to victory. This is an awesome strategy game with solid balanced mechanics, great tactical turn-based combat, and excellent voice acting. While usually in VR I try to do things you couldn’t do with flat-gaming, this one somehow transcends the medium. What I mean is, this could easily be a flat game and it would be just as good. But it’s just as good in VR too! Very addicting, maybe as addictive as Civ although it’s definitely simpler and has a shorter progression, the combat is more tactical. It’s easy to spend hours on this one, to the point where I have to avoid playing it sometimes later at night so I’m not staying up later than I should. Definitely give this one a shot - it could easily become one of your go-to’s!
