Rome: Total War was originally released back in 2004 as part of the Total War series of games. The game had two distinct modes – a realtime battle simulator where you gave your armies commands in real time and reacted to enemy movements, and a turn-based mode focused on empire-building. Several expansions were released, one that added new factions like the Huns, Vandals, and Goths as well as a new religion mechanic, as well as an expansion that added a campaign following Alexander the Great’s rise.
Rome: Total War received widespread acclaim during its initial release and is still considered to be one of the best strategy games of all time. A sequel was released in 2013, and mobile versions were released in 2018. Feral Interactive also released an extensive remaster of the game earlier this year.
More details about the Rome: Total War board game is expected to be released next week. A Kickstarter for the game will be launched later this year.
