There are still about fifty years left until the turn of the era, and the Roman Republic is in crisis institutionally weakened by a series of internal conflicts that culminated in the civil war between Marius and Sulla. It continues to expand, with the blood of foreigners who dared to stand against them frequently washing over the legionnaires' sandals, yet everyone knows that the rift between traditionalists and populists is bound to explode at the very heart of the empire. Anyone with even a passing interest in ancient history knows exactly how it all played out in our reality: the republican system was replaced by the autocracy of Octavian and the subsequent Caesars. But in this game, you are the one - a scion of a prominent patrician family whose choices will reshape the empire's destiny. Unlike previous games in the series, you start out as someone truly significant and influential. You aren't playing as a madcap adventurer or the ragged "chieftain" of a few dozen northerners; you are a legatus - the commander of an entire Roman legion, and with thousands of perfectly trained and equipped soldiers at your disposal, you really can change the world. However, your high-ranking military status doesn't turn Expeditions Rome into a Total War-style strategy game. Yes, you issue orders to your men on the war map, sending them to conquer cities and pillage villages, but all of this happens in the background, executed by your corps of officers. Meanwhile, you and your handful of bodyguards travel across the countryside, and your own "battles" rarely involve more than twenty participants. It is, I admit, very strange. Why would the supreme Roman commander choose to leave the safety of a fortified camp, entrust the legion's command to centurions, and wander around some random Greek fishing village just to buy supplies or run a few thugs through? Well, simply so we can enjoy a proper RPG experience rather than an administrative simulator focused on logistics and scouting the best spot to pitch camp. After a few hours, however, you stop dwelling on the absurdity of a wandering general and immerse yourself in a convincingly crafted replica of the ancient world. 20%

A very enjoyable CRPG with a Roman setting. Well worth picking up if that idea appeals. Positives: - Solid tactical combat with multiple classes - Charmingly faux-thentic version of Ancient Rome with a lot of attention to detail - An interesting story with a few twists and turns - Choices do matter, and you can solve situations in a few different ways usually - Fun and appealing characters, many with some depth to them - Strategy-lite gameplay on the world map - Character progression and equipment systems rewarding exploration - Vorenus and Pullo - 5/7 perfect score Negatives - Sometimes clunky UI, particularly in the strategy sections, and camera issues - Over-reliance on consumable items and status effects - you'll get very sick of fire - The main villains feel simultaneously under and over-written to the point their motivation and actions become harder to understand instead of easier - The game overall, and Act 3 especially, feel like they could and should have been longer, particularly with more interaction with party members. Between Act 1 being essentially on-rails and Act 3's plot being truncated, the feeling of plot compression can leave things feeling under-cooked. - Similarly, the strategy-lite elements could easily have become more prominent - fighting Pompey in the civil war and having an expanding level of involvement in command could have been very fun - The plot doesn't seem to respect the protagonist, and often makes them look a bit stupid so the story can continue. Act 3's Ambiorix mission in particular has red flags all over and your character walks straight into it with no possible alternatives. - There's no new game + or endless mode that could add replayability beyond the alternate endings In general, the negatives I've listed here are trifling, Expeditions Rome is a fun, well-crafted game with a historical setting that's quite rare in this genre, and it would be great to see it revisited or expanded on, and I'm probably going to pick up the sister games to try too.

Bought on the Steam sale in 2026. I'm a Battle Brothers, XCOM, and Baldur's Gate fan. Very good value for the money. Historical accuracy is not the strongest point of this game. It is more like popular believe how Rome look. Especially modern kind protagonist (Like Maximus in Gladiator) and very passive senate that in that time was ruthless machine. Pros: Combat is actually nice -> I liked it a lot. Especially later on, when I started to use tactical gear. For me, every combat is a puzzle exercise, and I was very happy with it here. Legion command — in general, the fantasy of it is nice, and I also liked the battles. Weaving their own story into the historical background was interesting. Siege battles were a nice break from the previous combat forms (and the fact that the phases can have a big impact on each other was cool). Interesting companions with their own secrets and story arcs. Cons: Primo pilum missions with random NPCs that I don't care about. I can understand having these Praetorians, but they were no-names to me. Bad UI around the legion. You need to go inside the camp and click on buildings. (I discovered very late that there is a button at the bottom of the screen, but even then, it doesn't show all the options.) Way too much clutter and trash in the standard inventory. Spoiler ahead about story bits: The main conflict between Legatus and Larco -> it is bad, IMO. It starts strong, but then we are ALWAYS 3–4 steps behind the guy. You constalty topple his plots but that doesn't matter it seems. And I get it when it happens in Rome and politics. But then, in Gaul, where WE ARE supposed to be the better general, it happens again. I think Gaul would work a lot better if the Senate were afraid of both Legatus and Larco and sent them away to Gaul together, hoping they would kill each other there. We should then have the option to resolve it militarily. There is a mission that supposedly should show some level of Larco military capability -> But I won it with my party and games simply doesn't care about that. (Ambush mission with "die with honour" objective) And then there is Caeso when you go the Emperor route. The fact that he still believes in the Republic after witnessing how much it failed Legatus can be hand-waved. But I managed to sway him with Cicero, Cato, and him becoming my "security valves." Then I got full power mode — and he has a Pikachu-surprised face and instantly goes into exile... Like Bro i just told you so... And also, in that ending, I think the writing gives the promise of a fourth ending, similar to the historical Augustan approach. Reluctantly (on the surface) taking power, layer over layer of titles, and even that last Caeso dialogue supports this idea. But we end up with a Caesar-like grab for power and an Augustan trade-and-stability slide (Pax Romana). It's simply odd that a game about the birth of the Roman Empire DOESN'T have an ending where it happens like it did historically: the slow boiling of the Roman elite after years of civil wars.

This game is so fire. Seriously guys. As a matter of fact it's SO FIRE that I am not even going to criticize it for the single worst quest objective in history. For a human sacrifice in Gaul, I am required to gather wood. Easy task, right? No first you must TREK THROUGH MILES OF FOREST to go ask your quartermaster where to find WOOD. After that, he tells you that Elm is great but it does not truly matter what kind of wood you use. Cool right? Task completed? WRONG. IT IS TIME TO TREK THROUGH MILES MORE FOREST TO FIND THE ELM PATCH HE MENTIONED. So you can gather enough WOOD TO START A BONFIRE. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST. SURROUNDED BY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TREES. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. YOU. *ahem* anyways This game is so fantastic in every other area, I am not going to give it a thumbs down for that. Nope. As a matter of fact, I TOTALLY did not pause the game immediately upon receiving this objective just to rage write all of this. That would be silly, and this fantastic fully voice acted isometric RPG with 4 robust chapters and a moderately entertaining legion/war managment system + Campaign map, and a respect for the history it's based on would deserve way better than that. So I'd never do that. Buy the game.... and when it comes time for the stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ barbarians to try and get you to do their stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ barbarian rituals, say ♥♥♥♥ you, and legion all over them.

Things I love about this game: Story - While you don't really have to pay a ton of attention to it if you don't want to, there's a deep and satisfying Roman tale here. There are twists, turns, and an amount of palace intrigue that is well in keeping with the setting. I particularly enjoyed trading barbs with Cicero. Art style - Simply gorgeous. A step WAY up from other Expedition games. Combat - The crunchy, challenging turn based combat is excellent, with the different combat classes all being deeply important for various missions. Veles are murder windmills that must be deployed carefully, since they're paper thin. Princeps are traditional scutum bearing Centurions, ready to terrify enemies and protect their comrades. Sagitarii provide devastating ranged damage, while Medicii heal allies and demoralize enemies. Authenticity - There is a lot of care put into historical accuracy. Not perfect, by any stretch, but it's very clear that it was a consideration of the dev team. It really feels like they've brought ancient Rome to life. Things I DID NOT LIKE: Army Actions - The worst part of the game. This silly little mini game is easy, thoughtless, and CONSTANT. Enemies armies invade your posts just about every 10 minutes, forcing you to resolve with this mini game, regardless of what else you were doing. The bones of the system are solid... but there's no flesh on them. This entire thing could have (and arguably SHOULD have) been cut. Pacify Missions - What is the point of meticulously crafting your team, equipping them, and carefully choosing skills that synergize? These required missions occur about 70% of the time when you're taking new territory, and they require you to use your B team exclusively. Thing is, I don't *want* a B team. I want the team I care about, not the one I don't. It feels like this is an attempt to split the difference between a static NPC driven CRPG like BG3 and one with faceless troops that don't often survive like XCOM. All in all, a great game if you can get past the irritations of a couple of poorly designed systems.
