Imperator: Rome Reviews
Heirs of Alexander is a good paid expansion, even considered apart from the free update. The Diadochi wars are fascinating and complex. I played quite a bit as the Antigonids and I still have options to explore. The other successor kingdoms have the same amount of content. For anyone who exhausts the stories of the Diadochi, there's more to discover and more places to conquer when playing as Rome, Carthage, and the rest, making Imperator a joy to return to.
Imperator: Rome is the natural next step in the evolution of titles made by Paradox Development Studio. It does not offer much innovation, but what it does, it does really well. deep and multi-layered gameplay system is sure to both engage and excite the player to a great degree. However technical issues prevent this otherwise great title to reach its full potential.

This is not one of the best grand strategy games from Paradox Interactive, however still good, especially for new players.

Imperator: Rome has some rough edges and it's not quite up to par with the excellent games Paradox usually churns out, but at the same time, it is still a challenging and rewarding experience that's bound to keep you engaged for long stretches.
Imperator is a strong instalment to the Paradox catalogue. It has a much stronger military focus than other Paradox games, and though it implements many mechanics of other Paradox titles, it can be somewhat limited in options for the player. The music, visuals and warfare are a major plus point however.

Imperator: Rome combines the best parts of Europa Universalis: Rome into a bigger, more ambitious package. A great entry point for those interested in grand strategy games.

Every game of Imperator: Rome may have you winning or suffering defeat in the Punic wars as the titular Rome. But how many of those games did you have your rival, the leader of Carthage, tossed into an arena, and forced him to duel his son to the death? Of course, when he won, you granted him full rights of a citizen and brought his surviving family members into the fold, and a generation later, they were your most staunch supporters.
