ROME: Total War for Pc

I literally Bought the iPad just to play this game (and just make it my game thing), I'm not really disappointed, if this is your first time playing a total war game, you will love this game, it is by far one of the best strategy/war games in the store, still, if you played the CPU version you will realize the differences, these differences are the change in scale of battles, to fit with the ipads mobility, you still get most of total wars immersion but with a small quality drop, but with right marketing I know total war is something that could take over a large part of the gaming community, I am very happy the creators are bringing these games to mobile devices , and hope the consoles are next, I really believe total war games could be a triple A thing, please keep expanding, one day Everyone could be talking about these games like they do skyrim and GTA, you better hurry before mount and blade is also a good game expanding its reaches

Edit: Thanks for responding, I appreciate the team’s dedication to customer support. I did some closer testing and found that the drawing instead of scrolling results from the touch controls simply being too imprecise. You can try scrolling quite a ways off from the actual unit and it will still register like you’re trying to draw a path. (I’ve noticed this imprecision contributes to difficulty placing units during deployment as well). If the battle touch controls could be tightened up just a bit, this game would be elevated to near perfection. The further I’ve gotten into the campaign, the more frustrated I’ve become with the battle controls. Panning across the field while units are selected is an absolute pain because the game will think you’re trying to draw a path. Drawing a path is a neat function in theory but only makes sense on a larger screen. It makes me wonder if the game was ever thoroughly play-tested on an iPhone. Please allow us to toggle the path drawing function - it would make battles infinitely better on small screen!

Actually paid money for this game and based on the previous reviews at first I was excited. However after playing a few rounds I realized that you were kind of painted into a corner as to what you can do. I’ve built up huge armies and then I couldn’t do anything with them, despite plenty of people you could attack. Eventually you have to do what your commanders in this app want you to do. You can’t attack them, you can only go after who they deem as enemies. Technically you could make alliances, but it doesn’t seem to do any good as they don’t fight on your behalf. Pros: Nice fighting sequence where you can deploy units on the battlefield. Cons: 1. The AI “allies“ will attack and conquer territory well before you ever get there. Hence to be able to attack anybody, you have to march clear across the map, and even by the time you get there, there is a little left to attack. 2. You can’t attack any Roman allies at all. Historically this isn’t accurate as Roman armies fought each other frequently and leaders were opportunistic. I would have opportunities all the time to attack other Romans but the game would never let me. It kept saying I needed “popular support“ however there is never any way to get this.

This game is amazing. I was a little hesitant to buy it from its $10 cost and how many total war fake cop-outs are online, but this is actually legit. If you’re willing to pay, the $10 is completely worth it. However, there are some little quirks that I found. First off, this game drains your battery like a leech. If you don’t connect your phone to a power source, you won’t be playing this game for long, even if you started at 100% battery life. The second quirk I found is that this game is not big finger friendly. In the later stages of the campaign, when you need to micromanage massive armies, it can be really difficult, especially if you have big fingers since everything is so small and it’s easy to accidentally click on something you didn’t intend to click on. If you have big fingers, I recommend using a DS stylus or some other screen stylus if you have one. A third quirk that I found is that the sound quality of the game isn’t the best. When new background music starts, whether it is the battle theme or the peaceful overview theme, it doesn’t deactivate any soundtrack currently playing. After about 10-15 minutes of playing the game you get the accumulation of 5+ background songs playing over each other, and it sounds quite unnerving. Other than that, this game is really great and can give you months and maybe even years of entertainment.
