The Imperial Campaign, for instance, still ingeniously divides the Roman empire into three powerful families: the Julii, Bruti, and Scipii. Under the hood, however, this is still very much the same game as it was back in 2004, for better or worse. With Total War: Rome Remastered, developer Feral Interactive has updated Creative Assembly's seminal title by overhauling the visuals and adding a number of quality of life improvements that make it slightly more appealing for modern sensibilities. ![]() It put Total War on the map and laid the groundwork for what has since become a blockbuster series in the strategy genre. Whether you go on to achieve victory or succumb to overwhelming odds, moments like this are part of what made Rome: Total War such a beloved strategy game when it launched in 2004-and why its popularity still persists today. "But we will never know defeat while we stand together! This day we add another triumph to the history of our people! We will be honored as men!" "We face adversity, a band of brothers, dedicated to the warrior's code of strength and victory," he continues, rallying the troops. ![]() "One of you is worth any number of them," bellows our general, shattering the tense silence with an impassioned war cry. The scent of death is in the air and we've got no choice but to stand our ground and fight. The raucous Gaul army is at our gates, baying for blood each enemy soldier is coated in white and blue war paint and a select few operate battering rams that'll plough through our modest wooden defenses in a matter of minutes. Oh, and a final note: Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.The enemy outnumbers us two-to-one and reinforcements are still days away. But, as a remaster, CA has done a very good job on something that is less about making money, and perhaps more about showing the fans some love. It doesn't mean that I don't enjoy slaughtering the uncivilised heathens on the battlefield, but this is more for those that miss the gameplay of the original rather than new players. ![]() They're still the optimal places to don your armour, pick up a javelin, and make yet another barbarian child fatherless. While I love the in-depth management of an empire, the modern games still offer a better experience, smoother and more polished. But, there are so many small quality of life improvements in the new titles that I don't think I would recommend this as a starting title for new players, despite the gameplay being solid, and the immense improvement in the graphical quality. While I struggle to understand why newer games have been stripped of more advanced insight, like what contributes and what negatively affects your public order in a region, Total War: Rome Remastered is a bit clunky, and annoying to watch your army take years to turn around on its heels to go off in a different direction (that can be skipped). The game has aged well, it really has, but it is also hard to shake its age. The Steam page says that 4K resolution depends on downloading an Enhanced Graphics Pack, that was not needed when I played, but that might be due to the fact that it was a special review version. ![]()
