covering turn-based games like XCOM or

are for another list for another day
we’re also sticking to one game per
franchise and for the sake of a level
playing field we’re not taking
expansions or dlc into consideration
stew number 10 Warhammer 40,000 dawn of
war let’s jump into our time machines
and travel 38,000 years into the future

off camp and any others these foul
creatures may have constructed based off
the popular tabletop strategy game this
game sets you on the planet of Tartarus
where four different races are fighting
for control this day shall be a glorious

important victory against those damned
aliens and their allies number eight
total war Shogun 2 there’s enough games
in the total war franchise to fill a
list of their own with time periods
varying from ancient Rome to the
Napoleonic era but the second attempt at
feudal Japan is our favor
featuring expansive maps where your
weapons aren’t just your soldiers on the
field but also diplomacy off the field
mixing up the enormous battles are the
fact that each soldier has its own
custom animation for true immersion
