What to consider
Summarized by AITotal War: ROME II fans like pairing a turn-based campaign with tactical battles. Attila, Empire and Warhammer II use the same series structure in other eras and worlds, Company of Heroes 2 drops to real-time tactics in World War II, and Hearts of Iron IV scales up to running a whole nation's war.
The same turn-based strategy with real-time tactics, now set in 395 AD against a darkening backdrop of famine, disease and war. A warrior king with a million horsemen is rising on the steppes and has Rome in his sights, which makes it a darker follow-up for Rome fans.
Standout features
- 395 AD setting
- Campaign plus real-time battles
- Steppe invasion

- Warpath Campaign
- Five Native American factions
3. Total War: WARHAMMER II
Best for strategists who want the Total War structure in a fantasy world.
87 votes
The two-part structure carries over: a turn-based open-world campaign, and intense real-time tactical battles in a fantasy world. You choose from four varied factions and wage war either to save or to destroy that world, in a game of titanic proportions. Multiplayer is supported.
Standout features
- Four varied factions
- Campaign and tactical battles
- Fantasy world conquest
Here the strategy is real-time and tactical, set in World War II. A TrueSight system emulates line of sight, a cover system rewards clever unit placement, and a combined arms approach with hard and soft counters makes you think before sending a tank at the wrong target.
Standout features
- TrueSight line of sight
- Cover placement
- Combined arms
A grand strategy wargame where you refight World War II at the head of a nation. You build an industrial powerhouse and a diplomatic alliance to wage war on ideological opponents, so it challenges your political insight as much as your battlefield instincts.
Standout features
- Industrial buildup
- Diplomatic alliances
- World War II scale
