Shogun Empires is like a half-completed strategy game on the DS.
Graphics:
The graphics were alright in Shogun Empires. However they seem abit grainy at times. Also, the animations are horrible, the people look like they are taking 2-inch steps as they march. Gameplay:
The gameplay is boring. The fights have almost no strategy whatsoever. I found myself constantly slecting the "auto fight" mode. Occasionally you will come upon a sort of mini game. These include chase the enemy general, board a ship, attack/defend a caslte, and thats it. The most common is the chase the general one. In this game, you can't control where your general goes, just fire arrow, oh which you can't aim. the other ones just have you shooting arrows at archers. Boring and bland.
Music/Sound:
The music is probably the best part of Shogun Empires, too bad theres only two tracks. The sound effects are horrible. the death screams sound like five year olds crying and there is one sword sound, which is shared with the spearmen too. There are about 3 arrow noises and they are ok.
Story:
Very unoriginal. Two brothers fighting over control for Japan. I often found myself just not caring.
So yeah, Shogun Empires had a good concept, it just was executed badly. I wouldn't recomend this game.
