“This game is a delicious cake with a turd on top. Solid, fun, immersive story-driven turn-based-tactics game with a lot of period fidelity and attention to detail. There are actually two turds: The first is the crafting…”

“I just started but game seems to be interesting. Tactical battles are not very intuitive, but they are not that hard to learn.”

“Took a fast look at THQ Nordic and Logic Artists vision of the Roman Empire. Though the game has been out several years. I thought I would give my fast outlook on this endeavor. Let's get to it What I liked: Aesthetics:…”
“The more I play it the less I enjoy it. The Good: - Graphics are excellent, characters are easily visible and identifiable on the screen with many different equipment models that always leave characters looking unique.…”
“Expeditions: Rome completely drew me in. I have already finished the game once and I will definitely play it again, but in a completely different way. That alone says a lot about its depth. The story is gripping from…”

“I like it so far. They've pulled a lot from Jagged Alliance 3 (if you like JA3 you'll probably like this) which is great. Characters have a similar "quirky feel" and the ones I've met so far have been executed well (no,…”
“I liked this game, it offers a great story, good writing (even contains latin), fully voice acted, choices matter leading to multiple endings, you command a roman legion, characters develop as you play, you can exploit…”

“E:R is a mish-mash of a variety of game styles: third-person RPG, hex-based tactical battler, pseudo open-world exploration, and city-builder. You take on the role of a Roman general leading a party comprised of fixed…”

“Good story and presentation, but suffers from being a grind simulator with JRPG stats and constant item upgrades to double and pad the game time. If you're ok with grinding and navigating through turd to get to the good…”

“I played the game for quite a long time and there is a lot that is fun. Conquering sector after sector, the turn based companion fights - I like that. Finding better and better gear, leveling up, what's not to like? But…”

“Great mix of RPG and slow tactical combat. Definitely was inveted. A bit long, lot of combat.”

“This game is awesome and criminally underrated. It's basically XCOM in ancient Rome - tactical grid combat with a strategic map layer. The tactical combat is really good, super satisfying gameplay that kept me hooked for hours. The strategy layer gets repetitive after a while…”

Especially those at the end of each milestone. The sieges are epic. -There is…”
