How many kings does a couple of small islands need?
With the Warhammer games, Creative Assembly has been making some of the best titles in the Total War series, but has also found itself on a punishing release schedule. This year sees two releases, with Total War: Three Kingdoms scheduled for the fall, so we wouldn’t blame the studio for taking its foot off the gas a bit.
As the first Total War Saga, Thrones of Britannia is a stripped-back title focused on a small historical landmass—the British Isles of 878 AD—running on the historical engine that powered 2014’s Atilla. It’s had some polish applied, but is clearly not the particle-fest that’s behind the Warhammer games. Ultra settings should not be out of reach for most, especially at 1080p, as the relatively mild recommended specs show.
