Total War: Attila is a grand strategy game with turn-based empire management and real-time battles. It was developed by Creative Assembly studio, the authors of all previous installments of the series.

The action begins in the year 395, more than eighty years before the collapse of the western part of the Roman empire and the beginning of the Middle Ages, thus allowing to play a truly fascinating and rarely used in games period in history. The campaign focuses on a relatively short time period, at least by series standards, but pursues it in much greater detail. Among the playable factions are the major powers of the period, ranging from both parts of the declining Roman Empire, the young kingdoms of the Franks and Saxons and numerous tribes of wandering barbarians, to the nomadic Huns and the oriental Sassanid Empire. Thanks to the variety of starting situations and victory conditions, each faction is played differently, so that both novice strategists and veterans of the series looking for a real challenge will find something for themselves in Attila.

Strategy

An expansion pack for Total War: Atilla - another installment in a series of popular strategy games developed by Creative Assembly. The Last Roman expansion introduces an extensive, story-driven campaign that begins in 533 AD, that is, with the fall of the Western Roman Empire, which created room for many barbarian kingdoms. It is also when the emperor Justinian decides to make a last-ditch effort to resurrect the fallen legend and sends the titular Last Roman to fight for him. The person is an experienced commander called Belisarius, who can either re-conquer the lands for the emperor or become the monarch of the west themselves, depending on the player's actions. The expansion introduces five playable factions (with their own specifics) to the game. Apart from said Roman expedition, the player can assume control of Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Vandals or Franks. Additionally, The Last Roman brings new combat units, buildings and technologies.

Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Geoff Thew

Like its predecessors, Total War ATTILA is equal parts grueling and rewarding, a deep simulation of medieval warfare that lets you shift the tide of one of history's bloodiest conflicts. Unlike some of its predecessors, this game feels thoroughly polished, without any technical gaffes or design mistakes to speak of.

Full Review

Attack of the Fanboy: 4 / 5

All things considered, this is a solid Total War game that, while being far from revolutionary and requiring just a little bit more polish before official release, will be far better than Total War Rome 2 can ever hope to be.

Full Review

Metro GameCentral: 8 / 10 by David Jenkins

Only a minor evolution of Rome II, and with many of the same bugbears, but the stunning visuals and deep strategy bring a fascinating period of history fully to life.
