Is Shogun II still the best Total War? Total War: Rome II might have been patched within an inch of its life, but Japan has always proven a leaner, more tightly-packed muse for Creative Assembly. Perhaps it’s a simple matter of geography.
Three years on, Feral Interactive have finally ported the series high point to Mac.
Feral Interactive handled Mac versions of Rome 1 and Empire back in the day, and have since ported some very worthy strategy games to the platform: Tropico 4, XCOM and its expansion. They’re the same safe pair of hands Crystal Dynamics entrust with bringing each successive Tomb Raider to the Mac.
They reckon Shogun II represents a high point in Total War’s history, and we’re inclined to agree.

“With strategic gameplay inspired by the Samurai code of honour and striking graphics that evoke Japanese art and landscape, Total War: Shogun II is a dramatic and detailed depiction of epic events,” write Feral. “[It’s] a unique expression of the Total War series’ magnificent heritage.”
There’s no date to know just yet – the port’s simply “coming soon”. Any of you play on a Mac as your secondary or even – gasp – primary PC?
