If you’re not willing to invest a lot of money into this game, you just aren’t going to get an experience worth very much. If you are looking for a true Total War experience, I’m afraid you should look elsewhere.

Critic reviews
- 7.1The game is extremely cross platform, meaning that you can start it in one place and move to another (for example, from your computer to your phone) with ease. The graphics and sounds are also really intense and go along with the game. Everything within the game works well and is streamlined, so you don't really have to worry about down time or glitches that set you back. Because the game is so graphic heavy and intense, it does eat away at your battery and take up a lot of room on your phone. There's also nothing really new about the premise of the game.
- 7.0Total War Kingdoms: Battle is likely to disappoint franchise veterans with its watered-down presentation and battlefield restrictions. Players who typically enjoy casual mobile strategy games are likely to enjoy the game more, as it caters to the familiarity of military city management, and the combat is unique enough to warrant a try. Beyond the combat though, Total War Battles: Kingdom is a little too familiar for me to give it a hearty recommendation.
- 6.0Alas, despite a strong start and plenty of polish, we ended our time with Total War Battles: Kingdom feeling disappointed that the enjoyable early momentum slowed under the weight of its financial model, and before long all we wanted was a premium version of the game without any of the microtransactions or the lengthy timers.
- 8.0Total War Battle: Kingdoms is a bit of a mouthful, but when it gives you so much to do it's hardly a surprise it takes a while to say its name.
- Total War Battles: KINGDOM is decent though. I was able to play across iOS, Android and PC with my account syncing perfectly on each version. Load times aren’t that bad, and the graphics engine has been tuned nicely to accommodate the strengths and weaknesses of all the platforms. It’s hard to overlook the overly grindy nature that is designed to push you towards buying gold though. If the gold costs for units were lower and the value of gold per pound considerably higher it might have been possible to overlook but it tarnishes an otherwise decent RTS-lite game.
