Alienware M11x R3 review (Core i7 2630UM)

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan. The standard edition of the game will feature a total of eight factions (plus a ninth faction for the tutorial), each with a unique starting position and different political and military strengths.

We used the ‘medium' quality settings, as shown in the image below.

Total War: Shogun 2 is an intensive game but we managed to get it playable by reducing the image quality settings. It still looked great and was playable across multiple campaigns, only dropping under 30 fps a few times with many armies on screen.
