Total War: Warhammer 3 Review: A mesmerizing and difficult combo strategy game

preface

As the hammer 2 in the middle of the pit of the hammer guy quite excited to buy "Total War - Warhammer 3", living like a year waiting for the game to unlock, the volume of nearly 120G is really surprising, which is much larger than the hammer 2 of the full DLC collection, it can be seen how great the content and progress of the hammer 3, I first came into contact with this game is attracted by large-scale legion hand-to-hand combat, in fact, I do not like the elements of the business class, and slowly found out how powerful the combination of all elements of total war will exude a powerful charm. Without further ado, let's talk about this game.

Painting style

Whether you have been exposed to this game or similar games, I think you will praise the overall graphics style of the game, the terrain of each area is very finely depicted under the top view of the large map, the perspective in the real-time state is easier to understand as Warcraft, each city fortress is different, the modeling is very real and beautiful, and the modeling of each class is more delicate than the previous generation.

plot

When you're exposed to a brand new game, you're sure to ask soul questions, plot, and gameplay. Honestly, I went into the pit Warhammer 2 did not carefully study the history of the entire IP at all, and the only game history I carefully studied was Resident Evil, and I knew it at every point in time. However, in my opinion, this game does not need to go into the plot at all, because the game is very long,,, you have a lot of time to understand the game's internal affairs and narration, of course, if you like the story, it is still recommended to understand.

Prologue

I really love CA more and more, into the pit Warhammer 2 makes me miserable, because I studied for a few days did not play this game, Warhammer 3 is more complex and difficult to understand than the previous two generations of mechanics, but out of a super large novice tutorial "Prologue", patience to play 5 hours, detailed introduction to how Warhammer 3 to play, which is simply a great encouragement for newcomers, but also indirectly tell you, a novice tutorial 5 hours, you guess how big the game is (artificial dog head).

race

Close to 120G size Warhammer 3 first launch there are 8 races to play, including pre-order rewards of the Ogre DLC, as well as the long-awaited Chinese style "Aurora Heavenly Dynasty" in the old gate, different from other games is not only the difference between the classes, in this world different races have their own special mechanics to play, the Gang Qi faction can use the unique "Way of Change" to disrupt the player relationship between other forces, the NaShi faction can release the plague in other areas to fight biochemical warfare, Aurora has a unique caravan mechanic to get practical equipment and so on.

Foreign/Domestic Affairs

The diplomacy system in this game has changed dramatically, Generation 2 is almost useless, and the diplomacy in Warhammer 3 is very practical, for example, after you ally with other factions, you can establish a sentry garrison in the opposing area even if you provide support, you can also recruit ally soldiers, which not only increases the practicality and enhances the sense of diplomatic presence, but also allows the player to have more plans in the layer to develop the class selection.

Housekeeping is my least favorite element, no matter what the game type, fortunately, Warhammer 3 simplifies its cultivation process, so that you don't have to pay attention to manual clicks at any time, and the addition of automatic points really makes me cry.

Play

I think the gameplay is simple, running your own faction in a large turn-based map, experiencing the special mechanics that come with different races, and finally completing the main quest and participating in the endgame battle. Defeating the enemy usually requires a strong army, more troops, then you need to be patient with territorial construction, etc., in order to better provide strong troops.

While saying simple and complex, you must be familiar with the respective mechanisms of different factions, otherwise the legions will easily suffer losses. The real battlefield dynamics of the minimap force you to carefully plan your army formation and scheduling plan, and the multitude of skill points and chaotic large map relationships will also make you wonder what to do. If you may not be able to understand the game in detail, then playing the prologue yourself will definitely save you a lot of detours.

Online

This time experience a bit of online, PVP is to occupy the location of Barabala is not much to say, but the number of remarkable number of 8 people online battle,

The limited-time mission mechanism controls the campaign time very well so that players will not stay up too long, and the 8-player online campaign can really make the game fun 100 times more, but one thing to say is that it will be very chaotic on the battlefield. To be optimized.

epilogue

Warhammer 3 is very good in terms of the quality of the game, with complex and rich mechanics, a large map, many factions, a very refreshing real-time strategy troupe hedge, and a lot of practical class spell skills and equipment, there are many excellent elements waiting for you to play, up to 4-5 hours of prologue novice tutorial is enough to show the sincerity of recruiting new, sit and wait for more factions DLC, and more cute new additions.
