Total War: Elysium trailer exhibits the cardboard game wanting Hearthstone-y

Creative Assembly in the present day revealed Total War: Elysium, a free-to-play card battle game based mostly on uh, historical past I suppose? After saying Elysium in August 2019, in the present day they confirmed extra in a trailer and introduced it’s coming to PC later this yr. Total War: Elysium could have historic leaders and forces throw down, and all of it appears to be like fairly Heartstone-y. Watch the trailer under and also you’ll see.

See? The thumping actions of assaults, the crumbling tokens, the lovable battlegrounds, all that. But if the game’s respectable sufficient beneath all that, certain, that’s high-quality. Familiar dressing eases folks into the brand new, and it’s not like Hearthstone didn’t crib from a few of the greatest.

Total War: Elysium could have singleplayer and multiplayer battling. It’s solely based mostly on historic Total War games (no copyright, proper?) so sadly we shan’t see Marie Antoinette rip the beard clear off a Dwarven Slayer, nor Skavenslaves selecting their enamel with Napoleon Bonaparte’s bones. Though it’s apparently set in a legendary metropolis.
