First things first: I haven't enjoyed a Total War game since medieval 2. So imagine my surprise when I picked up this game and found out that I am actually having tons of fun with it.

One part of it is the fun over the top magic system, allowing you to rain down terror on the enemy lines with everything from meteors and lighting storms to Zombie crab hoards and magical boats.
Another part is the amount of detail and care put into each faction, giving them all an unique play style and fun tiny details. Which just plays to my world builder's heart.

However when you buy this game, you should add the blood for the blood god DLC for the true guttural mayhem experience.
