Anglo-Saxons, Gaelic clans and Viking settlers battle for Brittania and the glory of forging a great empire. A change from the usual Total War games but a potential gateway to newcomers.
Even though the AI is unable to learn from its failures and crack the player’s tactics, which makes later battles too easy, Thrones of Britannia is a game no strategy fan should overlook. [08/2018, p.74]
I actually play this game more than the other total war games. And I've been playing since shogun originally released all those years ago. I dont know what it is I just cant put it down
Один из лучших тотал варов со времен меда 2 и Сёгуна 2. В игре фундаментальные изменения по сравнению с предыдущими частями, абсолютно другая боёвка, очень напоминающая мед2 - с медленными разношерстными юнитами в одном отряде, с медленным откликом на приказ, половина идёт его выполнять - другая половина не идёт, кто-то убегает вперед, кто-то ранен и сильно отстал позади - вы видели такое в Риме 2 или Атилле или Вархаммере? Там отряды клонов ровным строем носились, шаг в шаг. Здесь же - в корне иное поведение юнитов, ритм сражения, он гораздо медленней и реалистичней. Я залип в игруху на пару недель.
Это потрясающая игра, в первую очередь для ценителей первого Рима и классики Medieval 2.
While Total War has often focussed on the big picture, Thrones of Britannia shows there’s plenty of scope for a series of Total War Saga offshoots to explore the smaller conflicts and civil wars through history. It’s also a great place for Creative Assembly to experiment with gameplay, and the changes to recruitment, tech trees and story elements give us a glimpse of what the series might hold in future.
Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is a more streamlined, sleeker and quicker Total War than those before it. However, the changes to make it like this offer new opportunities and one of the more tactical campaign maps than ever before. While it still suffers from some issues, like boring end game and being altogether too easy, there's still a whole lot to gain from playing Thrones of Britannia.
Total War: Thrones of Britannia is a game that tries to differentiate in general despite its important shortcomings and ties this work to the historical events.
An understandable attempt to create a more accessible Total War experience, but it’s been streamlined so much it offers only a small taste of the series’ full potential.
If Total War wants to be able to compete again, it needs to not only take inspiration from its greatest competitors, but seriously needs to look back to its own glory days: Rome and Medieval II.
Bad Reviews are ten year olds, one is even saying this game cant be played in 4k, sure buddy thats why i am playing it on 4k with a gtx 1080 and a ryzen 5 1600 few settings on high instead of ultra and there you go great performance.
Siege battles are Beast and Beautiful. Played 10 hours straight dont think a bad game can achieve that. Not to mention got it for 23 euros on release day. What a bargain.
It has over Average 20 fps more then Attila. If you say CA is Lazy you are a spoiled kid, updating and getting better performance out of an 32 bit Engine is not easy.
Its a good game tons of fun Campaign Map is Huge as it should be in such a game and the most detailed also in the Series so far.
You love Ragnar,Ivar, Alfred well thats kinda all in in the Story.
Not bad but it's one of the weakest total war games who I ever played.
Theme, historical time, map and factions are not cool. I think there is no good potential in this time and place. So it's a wrong choice. UI is not cool I don't like it. Gameplay is acceptable. But some details has some problems like recruitment system who I don't like it. The only thing in recruitment system I liked is units are not based on buildings.
Could have been a great time-period but the developers decided to be lazy *****. There isn't really anything special about this game.
What it should have been: Bigger campaign map so you can raid France and England as the Vikings. Focus on religion and longboat superiority (even ability to sail up rivers).
What we got: quick cashgrab by lazy developers. Nothing innovative and playing as the vikings is not that different than playing as the english...
SummaryFrom the multi-award-winning strategy series, A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia combines huge real-time battles with engrossing turn-based campaign, set at a critical flashpoint in history. Anglo-Saxons, Gaelic clans and Viking settlers clash for control. What Kingdom will you build?
