So before the series (temporarily) leaves history behind for the grimdark faux-history of Warhammer fantasy, let's put into order the times that Total War was at its best… and why sometimes its lows were so very low. At its worst, it's a middle-school history textbook as told by Drunk History and filmed by the cast and crew of The Patriot. Total War at its best is interactive Kurosawa and Kubrick.
While the series has been on a linear trajectory in terms of graphics, the quality of the games underlying those vivid battlefield vistas has varied wildly. Each time you take to the battlefield is another do-or-die moment, a possible Hastings or Austerlitz that can open the road to conquest or plunge you into a desperate fight for survival.īut the Total War series has also been defined by massive, abrupt swings in quality. Each decision on the strategic level is a gamble on the immediate future, where "one more turn" isn't just a stepping-stone to a new upgrade, but a perilous step onto thin ice. Your empire rises from nothing, surrounded by enemies who are poised to trample it into the dust.
