The game offers a fun premise and an engaging fantasy, however it all is hampered by bloat, unpolished mechanics, bugs. The game overstays it's welcome and becomes a boring trudge through an endless repetitive mire. Perhaps the worst aspect is the long, protracted, often inane story that almost constantly railroads you into making stupid decisions, so that it can move forward to what amounts to a selection of …

This is some of the most fun I have had in a tactics game in a long time. I was completely unaware of this franchise, and through random chance one of the guys in my community was talking about it and now I have logged 88 hours in about a month of ownership. So given the significance of that number lets start in on a review. > I do not play games on that kind of hours invested these days, so take that as your first …

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 though. There's also a CRPG wrapped around it. Like proper RPG with a story about Roman politics, your military campaigns, companions, side …

This game is a very mixed bag. The turn-based tactics are very mediocre compared to other games in the genre, and you spend far too much time walking around a dull world map sending your armies to do a boring mini-game against other armies for most of the game. However, the story and characters are pretty kino. You can make some cool choices in this game that have long-lasting consquences, and there's a lot of …

A very enjoyable CRPG with a Roman setting. Well worth picking up if that idea appeals. Positives: - Solid tactical combat with multiple classes - Charmingly faux-thentic version of Ancient Rome with a lot of attention to detail - An interesting story with a few twists and turns - Choices do matter, and you can solve situations in a few different ways usually - Fun and appealing characters, many with some depth to …

73% of the 225 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Expeditions: Rome. The complaint that keeps coming up: game is too long and meandering. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Expeditions: Rome received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Rock Paper Shotgun's Nate Crowley praised the game's attention to historical detail (including accurate Latin pronunciations) and said that after a mediocre first half hour, the game "lets rip" and became much more fun. RPGamer's Alex Fuller called the game an "easy recommendation" and praised the game's flexible difficulty settings. IGN's Leana Hafer called it "one of the better tactical RPGs of the last several years" but wished that the legionary combat was "more engrossing", an opinion shared by Crowley. PC Gamer's Robert Zak wrote that battles took far too long, but he appreciated the…

neutral · AI labelView post →When I started writing this review, I was sure I was going to give this game a "5/10 but still recommended" score. However, now that I’ve put my thoughts into words, I realize that I cannot in good conscience give it a recommendation. My favorite game genres are RPGs and turn-based strategy and I am also a huge history buff. I spend about 10 hours a week studying history, and my single favorite topic is the Roman Republic and Empire. Just recently I finished the 180-episode "History of Rome"…

I've 556 hours in the game as of this post, it's a huge comfort game for me, and there's so many regions of the game I haven't completed yet. It's absurdly content-rich.

neutral · AI labelView post →I suppose I got my money's worth judging from my hours count, but whatever this game was supposed to be is ruined by lazy, antagonistic game design. Each encounter is a set-piece designed to be as annoying to the player as possible. Entry points are fixed, you only get a few spaces of "choice" where your troops go. From that point, enemies are always positioned in advantageous areas, objectives are placed in such a way that you always must go the long way around, and are always behind cover…

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s definitely a bit too long and meandering, but rather OK among XCOM clones. I could’ve perhaps liked it better were it focused around a single region but with more depth to the strategic mini-game. Sucked me in just fine though, owing to its personal story with various ups and downs. May not be for the stereotypical Rome fan due to grrl power crap. It's about 40h long if you don't figure out how to speed up combat animation. Don't be an idiot like me and do it in the prologue, not in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How is this game not better known? It's a top tier CRPG. If you're a fan of this style of games, don't miss this one. Voice acting, story, and gameplay are all good.. I've found myself googling a lot about Rome while playing it so I don't sound dumb in my responses to NPCs, so it's somehow giving me an actual history lesson while being very fun.

This is probably the first game I've played for over 90 hours and decided I couldn't continue because it was too irritating.
