What can I say after several hours? Overall, the remaster turned out well. A huge bonus was that buying the remaster also added the original 2004 Rome: Total War to my library. Overjoyed at having the original, I jumped right in, but the outdated textures convinced me to give the remaster a shot. As for the downsides, the map is a bit too garish, and the UI isn’t the most user-friendly. The AI, from what I remember, is pretty much on the same level as before—which, for me, is a plus, as it brings back those vibes of my youth. Everything else is exactly the same game I loved so much, one I poured hundreds of hours into, conquering every region and turning the world map into a unified Roman Empire. It's one of my all-time favorites, a game I used to unwind with after history and philosophy classes at Moscow university. Eleven years have passed, and the nostalgia is overwhelming—memories of dorm life, of taking the metro along the Zamoskvoretskaya and Sokolnicheskaya lines to campus. Thank you, SEGA and Steam, for letting me, with just a few clicks, recapture the autumn mood of 2013 in 2024.

The changes from the original game are largely great improvements upon weaknesses and flaws of the original game. The AI is boosted, both tactically and strategically, the battle interface is more informative and the addition of merchants is also a nice touch. You can also rotate the map 360 degrees now, which can be quite useful at times to see things more clearly. I don't care for the shadows of pikes, which makes it confusing to see which way a unit is facing and apparently siege engines still can't enter cities for some strange reason, even if you knock down a section of wall wide enough to let a parade of elephants through... :/ Still, it feels like new life has been given to the old classic and I'm very much in favour of it.

Coming back to the Total War series after being gone from any of the games for a few years. I started my return with the original Rome Total War, did a few campaigns, then decided to try Rome Remastered. Short Version: I feel the game is fine but it could be better if it weren't for the UI. Almost every single one of my issues have something to do with the UI. It's terrible. CONS (Mostly UI) - UI is pretty chunky, especially at campaign map. I can't believe the Remaster devs made the UI chunkier than original Rome Total War. It blocks a lot when I have to expand the UI above 100%. Why expand the UI? - A lot of the UI text is small. That's why. - Gone are the nicely sized windows from Rome Total War that have a nice unit and building portrait, as well as stats, description, etc. If you try to get details you have to look at a small window to the side. This is godawful. EDIT: There's a button to expand so you get a larger window to view unit and building details like in the original RTW. I missed that when I initially made this review. - With the description window being awful, the game does have the option to open a wiki. The Steam Overlay appears when you do this and then the game tries to open a web page. But you know what??? IT DOESN'T WORK. The wiki pages are dead! - Remastered's UI is a lot more click intensive than original Rome from 2005. An extra click or two is required to get what you want done compared to the more streamlined game from almost 20 years ago. For example in the original Rome, a new turn starts. A report window pops up with events, etc. that you can click on. A report for a settlement completing a building or unit has a button to take you to said settlement. The settlement construction / recruitment window pops up automatically when you do that. In Rome Remastered, when you hit the button to take you to that settlement, the window doesn't pop up. It takes you there on the map, but you still have to click on the build / recruiting window. It's an extra click. It doesn't sound much, but when you are managing more and more, the extra clicks add up. - The army general's speech at the start of a battle sounds like the voice actor is talking in a bathroom. There's a weird echo in there. It's the same voice as the original Rome 1 from 2005 but the old voices never had that bathroom echo chamber effect to it. - Remastered uses the Nu-Total War style of projectiles like arrows, sling stones, javelins, ballista projectiles... They look like white streaks in the air and not like actual arrows, javelins, etc. like back in the original Rome 1. EDIT: There's options to turn off the Nu-Total War style of comet projectiles streaking through the air. If you do that you now have the strange problem that it's harder to see sling stones and arrows in the air than you did in the original RTW. PROS + The game has been visually upgraded for modern standards. + The campaign map is gargantuan with lots of territories to conquer. We wish we had campaign maps this big back in 2005 for the original Rome 1. We had modders introduce enlarged maps, but the old game had caps on the number of settlements, etc. Remastered's map is fantastic. + Cities have population. This is an Old Total War thing. You draw your recruits, replace army losses from a city. So a unit of yours is weakened from casualties. Send it to town, retrain them, get them back to full manpower. Or you recruit a new unit, send it to the army in the field and merge the identical units. You have to be mindful about suffering too heavy losses as you may depopulate your settlement. Having a smaller population means less taxes collected. This is very different from New Total War games where there is no population to worry about and you automatically regenerate units in the field. That new way is weak sauce. + New Total War games have a provincial system where not all settlements equal and some will no matter what you want or do, will be worse off than others. New Total War has some settlements with fewer building slots while others have more. In Rome 1 and Rome Remastered, there's none of that garbage. If you want, you can turn any settlement into a powerful, well populated city if you know what you're doing and have the time. + Modern Total War controls. The old control system for Rome 1 in 2005 was fine for its day but it's way more limiting and clumsy compared to what's possible with the franchise as time has gone on. + EDIT: Forgot to mention the obvious. It's not just Rome that got remastered. You're getting Barbarian Invasion and Alexander to go with Rome. When the launcher for the game appears there will be a section that lets you select which of the 3 games to play.

I fought the greeks in a town I bribed out of their hands. They attacked 4 times in the same turn, I had 3400 troops on the first battle, they had 4390. I came out with a clear victory and then they again attacked, I had 2300 troops, they had 3450. I came out with a clear victory. The 3rd had an enemy general with 5 stars, and they had reinforcements, I had 1440 troops, they had 6000+ troops, somehow I survived with only one general being slaughtered by the enemy. I came out of that with a heroic victory and the final battle was with 1000+ greek troops vs my extremely depleted forces of 500+. I somehow, managed to outlast their forces and drive them from the battlefield. I freaking love this game and i will never stop playing it. 10/10 will always be roman
