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. At its best, the Total War series casts a spell over you.
