we've finally come to the end of the sweeping dark fantasy trilogy that began six years ago and Total War Warhammer 3 is a worthy capstone with interesting campaign mechanics that build up rivalries between its memorable main cast and several new armies that don't
play like anything we've seen in total war before it excels on just about every
level strategic and tactical and a collection of little quality of life changes carried over from other recent. total war games tie the single-player campaign up with a nice little blood-soaked bow
the main campaign in Total War Warhammer 3 is very story-driven even more so than Warhammer 2's eye of the vortex and that can be both a good and a bad thing having completed it three times now I don't think it has the endlessly replayable sandbox potential of the
mortal empires campaign available to owners of the first two games and while Total War Warhammer 3 will eventually get its own version of that creative assembly has said we might be waiting a little while for it currently, you can't even play as any of the Warhammer 1 or 2 races in
skirmish battles.
though they do appear on the campaign map as enemies to be vanquished so if you're looking to just pick up a faction and conquer the world at your own pace, you're better off
sticking with mortal empires for now.
instead, we get something that's halfway between a traditional total war experience and a single-player campaign in an RTS like warcraft 3. and from that perspective, it's an excellent racing
against the other major factions to claim four demon prince souls and free
slay or perhaps even devour the bear god erson is a satisfying challenge even on normal difficulty.
each chaos realm you must assault has its own unique challenge to solve that reflects the character of the dark deity who owns it and culminates in an exciting new type of battle
that has you fighting your way through some truly harrowing horde style maps using your ability to build defenses and call in reinforcements.
those mechanics allow for a type of scenario total war has never attempted and it's refreshing to use them in concert with this style of gameplay. Total War Warhammer 3
