Medieval: Total War Collection is a strategy game set during the medieval period that combines turn-based campaign management with real-time battles. Developed by Creative Assembly and published by SEGA, it includes the base game and its Viking Invasion expansion. Players navigate a risk-like campaign map, moving units across territories while managing a morale-system and stamina-system that carry more weight than in later Total War titles, according to reviewers. Terrain-sensitive-battles unfold in real-time, with terrain and weather impacting outcomes, and unit-experience-tracking allowing forces to grow stronger over time. Players describe the game as challenging, immersive, nostalgic, and retro, highlighting that battle-ai-is-highly-tactical and campaign-movement-feels-like-chess-pieces. Priced at $9.99 USD, the collection offers massive single-player content and is marked as playable on Steam Deck.

About Medieval: Total War™ - Collection: MEDIEVAL: Total War™ - Collection Edition is the compilation of the critically-acclaimed Medieval: Total War and its official expansion pack - Viking Invasion.
