Expeditions: Rome Reviews
I'll make this as simple as possible: If you like the idea of controlling a Roman Legion and conquering in the name of Rome, you will like Expeditions: Rome. If that doesn't sound like fun, then this game won't be for you.
Expeditions: Rome is by far the best installment of the series launched nearly a decade ago. If you love the RPG genre with unusual twists, you should definitely be interested in the latest THQ Nordic entry.

Expeditions: Rome knows how to make history exciting and engaging. The tactical engagements offer variety and challenge. Controlling a legion is makes the player feel powerful. Interacting with the likes of Mithridates through dialogue will appeal to history lovers but you don’t have to know the period to enjoy the narrative.
A beautiful journey through the Roman Empire with elements of strategy and IO.

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 on every level. The tactical action is challenging and deep, the management side of things is robust, and the story that it weaves will keep you invested, even 40 or more hours into it. This is an early game of the year contender.
In the end, Expeditions: Rome rises above the previous entries clearly, with more polish and refinement than ever before. The game may not fully achieve its aims due to some underdeveloped systems and inconsistencies in the design, but as a historical role-playing experience, it stands unrivalled. It's a must-play for anyone with an interest in Ancient Rome, and it offers more than enough for fans of CRPGs.
For those looking for an engaging historical RPG, Expeditions: Rome is an easy recommendation. The options for tailoring the difficulty allows players to focus on their preferred elements and make it challenging, welcoming, and rewarding depending on what players want.
Expeditions: Rome is a profoundly in-depth RPG that manages to achieve much of its lofty ambitions with verve. There are a few potholes in this otherwise flawless Roman road, especially with how steep the learning curve is, but they should get smoothed out in time. For those who loved the tactical machinations of X-Com, but wanted a bit more character development and a personal story, Expeditions: Rome is more fun than visiting the Circus Maximus and Colosseum with a full amphora of wine.
Expeditions: Rome is a game with high points in storytelling and gameplay alike but the latter aspect has some glaring issues that drag it back quite a bit. Without too much eye candy, the game strives to show you the world and help you immerse into it, instead of expecting you to look at it as if you were window shopping.
Expeditions: Rome asks a lot out of its players but if you are into its historical setting and a classic turn-based RPG design coupled with a kind of grand strategy system, it also gives a lot back to you in pure video game form of entertainment.

Expeditions: Rome gives you a mix of social intrigue and hex-style turn-based strategy. Relive the glory days of Rome as a high-ranking military official. Meet companions and hire trusted legionnaires in your quest for dominance. Get immersed with tons of quests and random world map events while maintaining order in your regions and learning more about Roman culture.
Expeditions: Rome is a great game that does exactly what it sets out to do. It’s a CRPG set during Ancient Rome focusing on authenticity and balancing RPG mechanics with hardcore strategy mechanics. A balance it strikes well, with a well written story and a polished Roman Legion customization and battle system.
Expeditions Rome is a huge game that does a lot of things and does them all in a remarkable way. Turn-based battles, large-scale strategy, or stories with long-term decisions, take your pick. It won't disappoint the Expeditions veteran, and it won't disappoint the new player. Highly recommended.

Expeditions: Rome is a compelling blend of RPG and strategy that, while perhaps lacking the personability other RPGs have with their units, more than makes up for it everywhere else.
Expeditions: Rome presented a beautiful Roman experience, taking into account historical accuracy, but unfortunately it suffered from unbalanced units and a difficulty curve the least of what we can say about it is that it is unreasonable, However it is a beautiful experience that I recommend to everyone who loves strategy games

Expeditions: Rome turns out to be a magnificent title for role-playing and history lovers. That History with a capital letter on which this title is based, putting us in a real context and with many very recognizable historical characters, is one of its main attractions.

Logic Artists takes what could've been a very “safe bet” in terms of setting, turns it upside down and creates interesting parallels between interpersonal relationships, power fantasy, privilege and the lack of it. Sometimes aims a bit too high in terms of game mechanics, but that’s a minor issue to what is one of the most compelling games of the “Expeditions” franchise.
