Determine the destiny of Rome as you conquer foreign lands and navigate political intrigue in this turn-based RPG. Directly fight with your party of Praetorians, guide your legion to victory, and choose your own path in a story where every decision matters. How will you shape the future of Rome?
Where it excels is in presenting you with meaningful tactical choices each and every turn drawn from the way the four main character classes complement each other so well, how their special abilities function cleverly in tandem, and how the hand-crafted design of every combat arena always encourages you to do more than charge forward and attack.
Historical fiction is a quick way to my heart, and while, if I were inclined to make a historical fiction game set in ancient Rome myself, I would probably go with some kind of retelling of Caligula’s story (note: I swear it’s so much more interesting than the popular stories would have you believe), I found this to be interesting and engaging experience...
