Total War: Warhammer 2 – Genre and Setting

Total War: Warhammer 2 is a real-time strategy game created by
Creative Assembly. This game has multiple layers of gameplay that involve different genres. This is why I think it is a good choice for this assignment.

Arguably the main portion of the game – campaign mode is the one worth discussing. Upon selecting the faction or race you want to play as. You will dive into the vast imaginary Warhammer world with many different other factions around you. As shown in the picture, you will decide where your army goes to represented by the single large-scale character on the map. As well as the direction of where you want your faction to develop. It is essentially a chess game mixed with business simulation.

In this game, you have more options to win than making your army stump on your enemy. You have the option to use diplomacy to seek help, profit even demands confederation with foreign factions if your sheer military percent and political pressure is strong enough.

Now the most exciting part of the game is the battle scene. When yours and a hostile army clash you can control your troops in battle. In this game, the variety of the units and the scale of the battle relative to the details that it has is truly unheard of. Creative Assembly has been producing Total War games for decades. The experience they brought to this game combined with the fascinating Warhammer Fantasy lore framed out an immersive and exquisite game experience.
