5. Total War: WARHAMMER (2016)

Battle of the Black Gate  - Total War: WARHAMMER Gameplay

Total War: Warhammer is no different from the other Total War games as far as surface mechanics go; you have two fronts to work on, a kingdom and tactical combat. The player can take control of several different races including Dwarves, Humans, Greenskins and Vampire Counts, either to play nicely with alliances, or to just bowl over absolutely everyone. Total War games are known for their historical accuracy (mostly) and have some pretty good mods with them, but total conversion mods are nothing compared to simply having a game based on the world that you want. The campaign map is huge and there’s plenty to see and do in your quest to take over the world (just like Pinky and the Brain).

It's a bird, it's a plane! It's a griffin!

Get ready to die.
