Reviews for ROME: Total War

I used to watch a buddy play this game when I was younger. I saw it available on the play store and decided to snag it. Woah is this game hard. I remember it being very detailed in how you manage everything. Loving the game but trying hard to learn how to not get attacked by everyone at once. Also, I may be missing something, but sometimes the buttons don't seem to work when you push them. No specific button or situation. Just sometimes I'll choose a task and it doesn't get carried out.

It's everything I remember and super fun to play! Only reason it isn't 5 stars is because the commands don't register right sometimes. The units you select wont always do what you want them to do and the game also has a habit of selecting random units/cities instead of the ones you are tapping on or just selects a random units when you are trying to do something else. Not a major gripe, but it's super annoying during battles and can cause you to lose a unit or the battle entirely.

It's the full Rome Total War experience. Just like on PC. but the controls are standing in the way of a great experience. Some simple tweaks would fix it. Tapping on a unit on the map should only select them, the next tap should be move/attack. NOT 'add another unit to selection'. Every battle I'll select a unit, order them to charge and aid a friendly unit. Then move to the next area of the battle only to realize what I've done is select two units and tell them to move across the map.

The Android version of Rome Total War does not disappoint. However, there are some caveats to the experience. Rome Total War was designed to be played with keyboard and mouse, and thus trying to actually play battles is incredibly difficult and frustrating due to limited input via touch controls. I was wishing I had a mouse at the very least. That being said, the macro-strategy is still very satisfying. On the campaign map you are again wishing you had a mouse, but the touch controls are serviceable. If you're unfamiliar with the game, this may be more trouble than its worth for you, but as a veteran of the game, I can put up with it. Get ready to lose hours trying to take over the world.

This game is almost exactly the same as the PC version I spent countless hours playing. The only notable exception is the touch controls, which can be frustrating during battles. I can get past this though, bc naturally a keyboard and mouse is going to be superior for this type of game. Overall I would recommend getting the game if you love total war games like I do. The ability to play RTW on my phone is worth a little frustration at times, in my opinion.

I don't even know where to begin. This game is ported PERFECTLY from PC. The controls are amazing, the touch screen enhances the fun. All of the battles are in depth, controlling every unit in the game. I like that I can still use the original amount of units, rather than the reduced amounts, just like on PC. I love the large, chaotic battles. Only thing I dislike is how often the AI will back stab you, even after doing huge favors for them and giving them lots of money. Other than that, amazing

I am a HUGE fan of the Total War series and I never had the opportunity to play Rome. I fell in love with Empire though, so I really enjoy this game. I do wish that putting troops into formation was a lot smoother, but what can I expect for a mobile game? Might i suggest controller compatibility? Also, sometimes the UI disappears during battle or during deployment. It isn't unplayable, but it sure is annoying. Otherwise, really great port!

Total War is one of my all time fav PC games. It has been ported to mobile very well. Battle controls are too difficult in small screen though. But worse than that and infuriating is that the save doesn't always save. At first I thought it was me..maybe clicking x instead of check. But I have been VERY care to save early save often. The game is inconsistent with saving games. I've literally lost hours of progress.

Initially rated 1 Star because after initial time launching it, the game continually crashed. Customer support commented a solution for me in my first review and it seems to be working. apparently, you shouldn't sync your Google account for saving gameplay or you could encounter issues. I didn't quite understand the instructions but I went into settings and cleared my Rome: Total War cache. Gameplay is fun, but the controls does take a bit to get used to. I am enjoying it so far.

this is pretty amazing how well this works on my Note9 and I'm a busy guy so it's great how at the end of my break time at work I could just close the game and when I open it the game picks up right where I left off. genius. My only issue with the game is how hard the battle controls are. but that just comes from this type of game being played on a touch screen with no keyboard and mouse. over all best mobile game ever so far now if they were to make empire total war for mobile it's a wrap.
