How it feels

A deliberate and methodical real-time strategy game with a historical Roman setting, offering old-school tactical combat and multiplayer skirmishes.

What players say

Players are driven by nostalgia for the 2003 original, and they praise the game's unique mechanics like testudo formation, but many are disappointed the remaster added no new campaigns or maps. The AI is widely considered dumb, while one reviewer calls the tutorial misleading.
