“I hope this review fairly examines both the qualities and flaws of Hegemony: Rome in equal measure. Most other reviewers seem to be firmly entrenched as die-hard supporters, or enraged that this isn't "Rome: Total War…”

“Some time ago, on a steam sale I bought an unknown game by the name of hegmoney: Phillip of macadonia. A basic, rough little arcade RTS with some neat ideas. But despite its rough edges I ended up putting 110 hours into…”

“First off: I really enjoyed Hegemony Gold: Wars of Ancient Greece. And that's part of the problem. Hegemony Rome tries to achieve more in some aspects, for example city building. Sadly those new features are nothing…”

“A fantastic game with oodles of potential so far in the beta phase. Given time to release more sandbox modes, complete the campaign and iron out any bugs this game has real potential to be one that will draw you back…”

“Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar is both a solid, fun game and a serious contender for the best 'Rome-based' RTS game in the last few years. Like the majority of others I consider the Total War: Rome franchise to be…”

“I suspect that there is a good, perhaps even great game, hidden in there, behind the constant crashing. After 15-20 minutes the game crashes, every damn time, making it impossible to play. This is an issue that was…”

“This game is still very rough in it's "pre-release" form. This is a real-time game but not like other RTS. It is a war/strategy game that is different from most. If you are not familiar with the format, I sugest you buy…”

“Let's start out positive. It's an attractive game with a wonderful map, some decent strategic options, a good basis for gameplay (it's a wonderful time period for war games) and has nice music. They did a great job with…”

“I'm unsure whether I really like this game or not. It has an awesome concept and executes it okay. It really lacks contents like unit variety (though you can pay rather expensive DLCs for that), it has a too simplified…”

“Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar is the game I've been waiting for. This game combines the grand strategy of Total War, but the base building and tacticality of classic RTS games. Pros: 1) Decent graphics, which I…”

“A nice little strategy game. Videos and screenshots seem kinda cool but the real experience differs. It's rough around the edges with harsh controls that you need to spend some time to get a grip on. Also graphics could…”

“Good idea but badly optimized game!!! As you progress through the story and open more of the map geme starts to slow down and lag to the point it becomes unplayable, with mini freezes and inevitable crash at the end. My…”

“Game looks amazing at first blush for someone like me. I love historical combat, I love the Roman era. Slam dunk right? Not so much, once you start peeling back the actual mechanics of the game you get pretty depressed…”

“Some good ideas in this game, poorly executed. It feels a bit like trying to control a bike with no handle bars, especially during the too-fast, too-light and ultimately C&C style combat. Mad clicking is the order of…”
