Overall, The Art of Total War is a Total War fanвЂ™s perfect collection. If you ask us, this book definitely did the job. It is all about presenting this franchise in a way that is easy to follow and easy to see the love and care that went into making them. YouвЂ™ll also get some commentary from the artists themselves and learn a few facts about each of the games. You will see a nice mix of early art work and completed set pieces which give you a sense of progression and design choices that were made along the way. As is usually the case with Titan Publishing, the book is beautifully laid out with large format pictures taking up entire pages. While the fact that this book is all about a franchise, rather than a specific game, it doesnвЂ™t make this book any less collectible or worth or purchasing. With this art book, you get a look at eleven games in all and at 190 pages or so, youвЂ™ll get about eighteen pages per game on average.

This kind of collection is a little outside of what Titan normally offers which usually consists of a full art book dedicated to one game. However, if you were looking for an in-depth look at any particular game, especially if you were looking for Attila art, this collection is only going to give you a taste. It would serve as a nice primer for gamers that may have played a game or two but were interested in seeing other games in the franchise. It is a beautiful compilation from The Creative Assembly and if you love the series, getting this art book is a no-brainer.ДЄs mentioned above, the book gives you a taste of everything in the Total War franchise.

It gives you a sense of how the series has evolved over time and how warfare was visualized between the early days and today. The collection stands as an overview of the series and doesnвЂ™t go too in depth with any particular game. Each section goes into great detail and shows all the concept art, screenshots and artist renditions from each game. These sections are Shogun (Total War Shogun and Shogun 2), Medieval (Total War Medieval and Medieval 2), Empire (Total War: Empire and Total War: Napoleon), Rome (Total War: Rome and Rome 2), Attila (Total War: Attila) and Total War Battles (Total War Kingdom and Total War Shogun: Battles). The book itself is split into historical sections so each era fits together and keeps the same visual style. It is called вЂњThe Art of Total WarвЂќ and it is a love letter to not just the upcoming Total War: Attila game, but to all games in the Total War package. The time has finally come to honor their work in another beautifully crafted art book by Titan Publishing. Sure, it has had some trouble with Rome 2, but you canвЂ™t knock The Creative Assembly for making a few mistakes but absolutely pouring their heart and souls into their games. It is, by far, one of the most underratedВ and strategic gaming franchisesВ out there.

If you are a strategy gamer, or you are a fan of history, chances are youвЂ™ve heard of the Total War series.
