Total War totally inspired the warfare of this game, and I'm all here for it. Image via Armchair History Interactive Generals have regiments and provide special bonuses and buffs, much like they do in games like Shogun 2. Armies and formations are one-to-one, I won't say copies, but recreations of Total War's RTS formula, and so on. If you've played any TW game under the sun, and particularly an Elspeth von Draken campaign in TW Warhammer 3, then this'll be the perfect game for you.

Master of Command also has this unique, almost cel-shaded art style, which I found super compelling, even if it doesn't always fit with the theme and setting. It's an interesting choice of colors and stands out amid more grimy, gritty titles with military vibes, so I think it was a good decision to try something different.

I am a real Total War buff, and aneven ******* history buff, so Master of Command scratched an itch I knew I had but never bothered to look into. It's been quite a while since we've had a prominent game of this kind, tackling 18th-century warfare, so I see it as a most welcome release.

It comes out later this month in full, but you can still try the demo if you want, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you do.
