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.

Gaming Nexus: 8.8 / 10 by Rob Larkin

For the uninitiated, Total War: Attila does a good enough job introducing a very detailed world and mechanics. What it does best is allow a player to get right into the meat of combat and enjoy orchestrating campaigns across gorgeous battlefields. While micromanaging the war effort and empire can be detracting, there are enough game modes and variety in the campaign to ween someone into the thick of it. At the end of the day, the battles are satisfying and the AI is good enough. It is not without it's problems, but it's as good a strategy game as you'll likely to find.

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

TrustedReviews: 4 / 5 by Stuart Andrews

Attila adds new layers of depth and complexity to Total War, and its dark, chaotic atmosphere does a brilliant job of breathing life into one of Europe's most troubled periods. The problem is that all that depth and complexity can make it a very demanding and – at first – unrewarding game. Keep at it, and the epic battles and challenging campaign mode make it well worth persevering. Overall, this feels like one for the fans, but is that really such an awful thing?
