Feral Interactive, renowned for their expertise in mobile porting, continues to enhance the Total War series for mobile devices. Fans of Rome: Total War on Android and iOS are in for a treat with the newly released Imperium Edition update, which introduces a host of new mechanics and quality-of-life improvements.
While the update draws inspiration from features seen in Feral's PC remaster of Total War: Rome, these enhancements are anything but a mere copy. Far from it, these additions are well-received, even if the PC remaster itself had its share of critiques. The Imperium Edition brings several exciting updates to the mobile version, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
For the seasoned veterans of the series, the update introduces Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection, features previously seen in the Medieval II port. These additions cater specifically to those who have mastered the intricacies of Rome: Total War.
But it's not just for the veterans; new and returning commanders will appreciate the Command Slowdown feature. This mechanic, common in newer Total War releases, automatically slows down gameplay when issuing complex orders, allowing for precise strategic decisions in the heat of battle.
Perhaps one of the most exciting additions is the support for keyboard and mouse on Android and iOS devices. This feature enables players to enjoy Rome: Total War with the familiar desktop controls, offering unparalleled tactical control and making it one of the best ways to experience the game's original polygonal glory.
The Imperium update is available now, so be sure to explore all the quality-of-life, gameplay, and other improvements it offers. And if you've already conquered the ancient world enough times, why not challenge yourself further with our list of the top 25 strategy games for iOS and Android?
