Total War: Rome II
2013 · Grand Strategy · PC / Steam
Total War: Rome II is a grand strategy game defined by ambition that took years to fulfill. The Emperor Edition patches transformed a notoriously rough launch into a sprawling experience with some of the most visually impressive large-scale battles in the genre. AI inconsistency and battlefield chaos still hold it back from the heights of the best Total War entries, and the memory of that disastrous launch lingers in the community. But for players willing to invest in its systems and its enormous modding scene, Rome II delivers a campaign of real scope across one of history's richest settings.
