Armed with a new engine, Rome II looks great, plays smoothly, and will be a challenge to both veterans and novices. Everything kind of just plods along and while you will get moments of brilliance, moments of wonder… they’re too easily buried by a startling amount of mediocrity. Total War: Rome 2 is a perfectly adequate/decent game.

This 2017 expansion was the first DLC released since 2014 and came about because Creative Assembly realised Rome II had more players in a day than every other historical Total War combined (at the time). The campaign seems to take lessons from Warhammer and makes main characters like Aurelian and Queen Palmyra incapable of being killed.
Is the total war Rome 2 a good game?
Don’t get me wrong; Rome II is a game worth savoring, but it also asks you to tolerate difficulties that don’t need to exist. These problems also have the potential to bog down the multiplayer campaigns, which also seem to be missing some of the personality and persistent elements from Shogun.
Are there real time battles in Rome 2?
The other half, the real-time tactical battles, are more stunning in Rome II than any the series has ever delivered. The impressive detail, unit model variety, and intricate animations give each fight a sort of you-are-there immediacy that had me regularly dropping down to eye level with my troops to see the action from their perspective.
Is the retraining feature in total war annoying?
The sieges combined with the retraining feature also kill my interest in the game after a while. It’s incredibly annoying to have to siege 8 turns or assault and lose a fair amount of men (often high-quality ones) to some stupid levies the AI has garrisoned which won’t break because they’re standing on the town square.
Which is the best setting for Total War?
If you want peace, prepare for war. Rome has always been the ideal setting for the Total War series. It has plenty of powerful empires, each with its own strengths and opportunities and, in gaming terms at least, a fairly even chance to rise to dominance throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Near East.
