Like an unpolished gem, Expeditions: Rome is a rough diamond. While some features miss their mark, and others deserve to be struck down by Jupiter, the core experience ultimately won me over through its elegant combat design. I've grown weary of tactical turn-based RPG common sins—miss chances, obscure action outcomes, and the endless waiting as each enemy takes their turn. Expeditions: Rome addresses these issues. Attacks will always hit, except when the enemy has a dodge or deflection buff. Every action has clear cause and effect, concisely conveyed through the interface, while simultaneous enemy movements and adjustable enemy turn animation speeds significantly reduce the usual downtime between turns. Content-wise, the game pleasantly surprised me with its sheer depth and variety. Encounters are hugely diverse, with many truly tactical missions where objectives matter far more than simply defeating enemies. These objectives range from straightforward tasks, like stealing an item from an enemy encampment, to grand-scale siege battles. On few occasions, the game allows you to make decisions either before an encounter—through dialogue or player actions—or during the encounter itself by performing optional objectives. These choices can alter the mission's goals, provide strategic advantages, or influence how events unfold. Some decisions in Expeditions: Rome ripple across your experience, influencing how the story unfolds or how characters perceive you. Even something as simple as your character's gender can significantly impact dialogue and interactions. I first played this game shortly after its release on Xbox Game Pass on normal difficulty, and then revisited it two years later on Steam at the highest difficulty setting. While it’s not on Baldur's Gate 3’s level of "choice matters," I still noticed meaningful shifts in plotlines and character responses based on my decisions. The production value is another highlight. Dialogue is fully voice-acted, featuring decently accurate reconstructed classical Latin pronunciation and other distinct cultural accents that breathe life into the characters. The writing, while not always flawless, succeeds in immersing you in the historical setting. On higher difficulties, the game presents a steep but fair challenge. Enemies aren’t artificially buffed to absurd levels, nor does the game rely on cheap tricks. Instead, lower difficulties introduce handicaps for enemies, like reduced damage output and less optimized AI behavior, preserving the integrity of the core experience. However, for all its strengths, Expeditions: Rome stumbles when it comes to its strategic layer. This part of the game tasks you with commanding a legion and managing settlements in what feels like a simplified 4X mini-game. Unfortunately, it’s an undercooked mess—a repetitive cycle of resource juggling and pseudo-card game "battles" that are so shallow you can win without even understanding the mechanics. This part feels like filler content, a distraction from the otherwise brilliant tactical combat. Despite its flaws, Expeditions: Rome remains my favorite tactical turn-based RPG. Its extraordinary combat system, varied and meaningful encounters, and challenging yet fair gameplay on higher difficulties set it apart. Supported by rich content and impressive production values, these strengths far outweigh the game's weaker aspects. If you can endure its clumsy strategic layer, you’ll find a deeply rewarding experience that stands proudly among the genre's finest.

What a fantastic game! I cannot suggest it enough to fans of isometric turnbased strategies and Rome. While games like BG3 have opened up the genre to new people, Expeditions: Rome has been offering up a solidly Roman and very entertaining addition for the veteran community that should appeal to new comers as well.

Nov. 2024

If you are a fan of turn-based isometric combat from games like X-Com, Wildermyth or Battle Brothers, this game is of interest to you. The story kept me engaged the entire game, and the combat never got boring. While the combat is not the most intricate, it definitely has enough depth to keep you engaged for the entire game. There were several points in the game where I thought it would end but an interesting twist reeled me right back in for another engaging campaign and plotline. I had a lot of fun playing this game and I would have loved if it lasted even longer!

PLEASE let us have some more games like this. Iron age setting is OP it lends for so much content. Imagine covering Alexander's route through Persia! Love this game. It has its flaws but still a 10/10.

This game is a joy to play. I came here off of Expedition: Viking and its a clear upgrade in all ways. Still has that same vibe, that wrapped in the moment of history feel, the controls are refined, graphics are better, time limit removed and the characters are wonderful. I have played it several times as there are multiple endings depending on your choices. if you like historical settings and turn based games and great characters, give this a shot.
