About the Game
Lead one of eight legendary lords through turn-based campaigns and real-time battles to seize the fading Great Vortex.
Total War: WARHAMMER II is a strategy game that Steam tags under both Action and Strategy, and it blends a turn-based campaign map with fast, large-scale battles. It is the second part of a three-part series and a sequel to Total War: WARHAMMER, set in a fantasy world where the Great Vortex, an enormous arcane whirlpool, is weakening. Its power once pulled magic out of the world and kept demonic armies pushed back into Chaos, so every faction now wants to control it.
The core loop has two halves. On the campaign map you take turns expanding your territory, managing towns, recruiting armies, upgrading your legendary lords and heroes, and deciding whether to negotiate alliances or launch full-scale war. Four races are playable, and each has two legendary lords with different starting positions and its own mechanics, armies, monsters, and spell systems. When armies clash, the fighting happens in real time, and you can command huge forces, unleash monsters and dragons, cast powerful magic, set ambushes, or simply overwhelm the enemy.
The campaigns revolve around the Vortex. Your lord tries to carry out a series of powerful arcane rituals to stabilize or disrupt it while rival factions push their own agendas, and the Great Vortex campaign builds toward a major final showdown. The store page also describes a third campaign on a very large map spanning both the Old World and the New World, available to players who own both this game and its predecessor.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Fans of grand strategy who enjoy building an empire and then commanding huge armies in real-time battles will find a lot to love here. It is also a strong pick for fantasy fans who want a deep, replayable campaign, and for players who plan to team up with friends in co-op or multiplayer.
Not Recommended For
Players who want short, simple sessions may find the layered turn-based and real-time structure demanding. Because the store page carries an adult content flag, people who prefer to avoid that kind of material should check the page before committing.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Steam players rate Total War: WARHAMMER II as Very Positive, with 93% of reviews positive. That label sits near the top of Steam's scale and points to a strong overall consensus, backed by hundreds of thousands of reviews.
A review base this large makes the percentage a dependable signal of general sentiment, although it cannot tell you whether the game's turn-based and real-time style will suit your personal taste. Small review counts can swing sharply, but that is not a concern here.

All prices below are Taiwan-region Steam prices in NT$. The game is currently listed at NT$ 1690 with no discount, which matches its regular price and is also the highest price we have recorded. The lowest paid price in our record is NT$ 422, first logged on July 10, 2026, and the deepest discount we have tracked is 75%.
Our records show the game is often discounted, so a sale is not unusual, but it has never been free to keep. Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. The current price sits at the top of our recorded range, which means it is not a good moment to pay full price for most buyers.
If you are happy to wait, wishlisting the game and waiting for a sale is the most sensible route. If you are eager to play right away, the full NT$ 1690 is the only option at the moment.
