Expeditions: Rome Reviews
Expeditions: Rome feels more like a mod with Roman themes than a fully fleshed-out game. From the customization to the design, there are many details that feel unfinished or lack the depth expected of games in the strategy genre. Still, there is fun to be had if players are willing to focus exclusively on the tactics and strategy. Those looking for more of the same coming off Expeditions: Viking will be satisfied enough, even if this new title doesn't feature any major innovations.
I would appreciate Expeditions: Rome much more if only there were fewer boring tasks and everything was happening faster. Conquering Europe really shouldn't take that long, and battles should have more meaning, albeit less frequent. Quantity does not mean quality.

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.
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.
Expeditions: Rome has some major flaws, but its strong parts can capture you for dozens of hours.

A beautiful journey through the Roman Empire with elements of strategy and IO.

The overwhelming feeling I had in my time with Expeditions: Rome is that it's perfectly average.
An uneven epic whose historical richness guides it through some awkward pacing.
Expeditions: Rome doesn't follow Caesar's famous statement "Veni, vidi, vici", because after the awe-inspiring opening it kind of fumbles the landing in the end. Despite that it still remains a great journey back to the attractive setting of ancient Rome that is worth playing in spite of some script related and technical issues.

Overall, an enjoyable RPG with a little bloat, allowing you to progress at your own pace as you quell rebellions across the Roman Empire.
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.

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 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 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.
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 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.

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.
Expeditions: Rome is an impressive tactical RPG with captivating strategic combat, as well as a lot more heart than expected.
Expeditions: Rome deserves a Roman triumph as one of the most impressive tactical RPGs of the last several years, despite occasionally bending under the weight of too many systems.
