Feral Interactive, renowned for their expertise in mobile porting, has significantly enhanced the mobile version of Creative Assembly's acclaimed strategy game, Rome: Total War. The latest Imperium Edition update introduces a host of new mechanics and quality-of-life improvements for Android and iOS users, promising a richer gaming experience.
Although these updates draw inspiration from the PC remaster of Total War: Rome, they are far from mere replicas. The features introduced in the Imperium update, while echoing some aspects of the PC version, are tailored to enhance the mobile gameplay experience. Critics may have mixed feelings about the PC remaster, but the quality-of-life enhancements in this mobile update are universally appreciated.
So, what exactly does the Imperium update offer? For seasoned players, the introduction of Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection from the Medieval II port will be a welcome addition. These features are designed to refine your strategic gameplay.
For both new and experienced commanders, the Command Slowdown feature stands out. This mechanic, common in newer releases, automatically slows down the gameplay when issuing complex orders, allowing for more precise strategic decisions in the heat of battle.
And let's not forget the game-changing addition of keyboard and mouse support. Now, Android and iOS players can utilize familiar desktop controls, making it one of the best ways to experience the original Rome: Total War on mobile. Be sure to explore other quality-of-life, gameplay, and additional improvements included in the Imperium update, available now!
