Order of War (PC) vs Total War: Shogun 2 (PC)

Order of War is a World War II Strategy video game developed by Western developer Wargaming.net and published by Square Enix. Order of War features detailed graphics and a historically accurate storyline. The main pull of the game is its large-scale battles featuring representation of company level engagements. Players take command of multiple unit types, including ground troops, artillery, tank divisions and aircraft in strategic assaults based on key missions and operations from 1944. The game is not a traditional RTS in that there is no base building or resource collection. Much like the RELIC's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series or the subsequent "Company of Heroes", Order of War rewards players with reinforcement points over time for capturing command points that are spread out across the map. However, utilisation of these points is similar to World in Conflict.

In the darkest age of Japan, endless war leaves a country divided. It is the middle of the 16th Century in Feudal Japan. The country, once ruled by a unified government, is now split into many warring clans. Ten legendary warlords strive for supremacy as conspiracies and conflicts wither the empire. Only one will rise above all to win the heart of a nation as the new shogun...The others will die by his sword.

Take on the role of one Daimyo, the clan leader, and use military engagements, economics and diplomacy to achieve the ultimate goal: re-unite Japan under his supreme command and become the new Shogun – the undisputed ruler of a pacified nation.

Total War: SHOGUN 2 features enhanced full 3D battles via land and sea, which made a name for the series, as well as the tactical campaign map that many refer to as the heart and soul of Total War. Featuring a brand new AI system inspired by the scriptures that influenced Japanese warfare, the millennia old Chinese “Art of War”, the Creative Assembly brings the wisdom of Master Sun Tsu to Total War: SHOGUN 2. Analysing this ancient text enabled the Creative Assembly to implement easy to understand yet deep strategical gameplay.
