Overview

Total War: Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai is a standalone expansion to Total War: Shogun 2 released in March 2012. The game starts in 1846 at the outset of Boshin civil war and runs through the Meiji Restoration. There are six base playable factions, with four additional factions available as DLC.

Gameplay

The 19th Century brings new technology like steam-powered warships

Featuring the most modern setting yet in the Total War franchise, Fall of the Samurai introduces new units and technology to the series. Players can wield a variety of 19th century technology such as steam-powered warships, gatling-guns, and railways which allows for rapid troop movement.

Mechanically, Fall of the Samurai is similar to Shogun 2, although The Creative Assembly has introduced a number of new mechanics such as allowing the use of artillery on the campaign map and allowing direct, 3rd-person control of certain artillery units on the battle map.
