    Total War Attila confirms that Rome 2 was not a fluke. Creative Assembly wants to have it all: their legendary battles and campaign map, while also trying to emulate what other historical games have done, notably Crusader Kings II. Unfortunately, trying to be the jack of all trades of historical strategy games still proves to be a mistake with Total War Attila which struggles often to carry Rome 2’s micromanagement weight while also feeling like its own game.

    Total War: Attila brings an under-explored time period to bare to create a great setting and system of mechanics for a strategy game based more on tearing down your enemies than building up your own empire, but it's still plagued with some issues inherent to the Total War franchise.

    Playing ATTILA has taught me that this is a series that has a lot going for it. The scale of the battles, the depth of the seemingly innumerable mechanics all point to well-crafted title, but if I were to never play a Total War game again, I’d be perfectly fine with that.

    If you manage to get past the steep learning curve however, Total War: Attila is a rewarding historical strategy game. There’s a wide range of possibilities on the battlefield and conflicts are a marvelous sight to behold. Unfortunately a few technical problems and an insignificant political system hold it back from greatness.

    Total War: Attila doesn’t radically shift things in the franchise, and the new gameplay additions are most welcome. Siege escalation and razing are great to have as options, and the ability to play the campaign from distinctly different perspectives and playstyles gives you a reason to come back for more.

    Overall, Total War: Attila ends up being a pretty enjoyable game. The struggle for survival makes for a compelling campaign and the battles are fun and challenging. You also have the option to simply do battles where you can hone your skills as a general or simply revel in the destruction of another army. On the downside, some of the inner workings of the game are ambiguous or seemingly random like the Diplomacy or certain actions you can take.
