## Review summary

Players praise Total War Battles: SHOGUN for its impressive visuals, deep strategy, engaging storyline, and strong developer support. However, recurring issues include crashes and launcher problems, in-app purchase/Xp credit glitches that reset progress, and various bugs that disrupt gameplay.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes, freezes, and launch issues that disrupt play

- Limited multiplayer (primarily local only) with requests for online multiplayer
- Various in-game bugs (e.g., flag not working, mission crashes) affecting play
