Sega's acclaimed real-time strategy franchise Total War has finally marched its way onto iPhone, with Total War Battles: Shogun allowing you to sample the series's trademark historical warfare for an outlay of $6.99.

Built specifically for the iPhone, Total War Battles: Shogun offers accessible, short-form conflicts that don't skimp on strategic depth.

The battles may be short, mind, but the war is long - Total War Battles: Shogun's campaign lasts over ten hours.

Naturally, the entire Total War interface has been redesigned for touchscreens, which means that managing your armies should be a cinch.

But, none of us will know for certain, of course, until our definitive AppSpy review is filed, stamped, and published right here on the site.

Total War Battles: Shogun was released today, so is available to download right now. Simply select your units, march them to the App Store, and open fire.

I mean: give Apple $6.99.
