The visuals of Total War: Attila are great, I really like how “full” some of the battles can look and being able to zoom in and out of the action is as cool as it has ever been. It seems like this is a very well-made game and that it has been that way since it launched a few years ago. There are a couple of strange things the AI has done which I have witnessed, but these were not game-breaking, frustrating or anything like that. I found, even from the early days of the game, it ran pretty well. What About The Bugs?īecause of what happened with Rome 2 it is more than fair to question how Total War: Attila runs. I did eventually “get it” however, I can see some people losing interest before this happens. While the overall UI is better than it was in Rome 2, I just feel that things here could have been streamlined a bit more. To be fair this I feel is done on purpose as no one ever said being a leader is easy. It was near impossible for me to keep everyone happy and there always seemed to be the threat of some kind of civil war on the horizon. The family tree dynamic I found to be very, very confusing. This may sound like a big criticism, but it is not meant that way. I think that Total War: Attila is a fun game, but it certainly takes a lot to get the best of it. I went from being a wandering warlord scared of no one, to be terrified that the next invasion may be my last. This led me to overthrow the first settlement I came across, I lost many more people, but I at least had somewhere to have shelter and regroup. I ended up losing a large chunk of my people due to the extreme cold and the fact we did not have a home.

I just went around waging war and taking what I wanted and felt like an unstoppable force… until I went a little too far north! I really liked this as I did not have what you would call a home turf. I spent my time as the Visigoths and had a fantastic time. You, of course, have many different factions that you can play as in the campaign.

The Roman Empire is falling apart and you have three provinces (which are three regions grouped together) that make up the map. Thankfully, The Creative Assembly does a ton of things right with this one. Rome 2 turned out to be great, but the way that game launched still really bugged me so I was a little unsure of what to expect from Attila.

I will admit that going into Total War: Attila I was starting to feel a bit of burnout from the series.
