Feral Interactive, renowned for their expertise in mobile porting, has significantly enhanced the mobile version of Creative Assembly's iconic real-time strategy and empire-building game, Rome: Total War. The eagerly awaited Imperium Edition update, now available for Android and iOS, introduces a host of new mechanics, quality-of-life improvements, and more, elevating the gameplay experience to new heights.
While the update draws inspiration from features seen in Feral's PC remaster of Total War: Rome, these enhancements are far from being mere copies. Instead, they represent thoughtful additions designed to enrich the mobile gaming experience. Veterans of the series will appreciate the introduction of Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection, features originally from the Medieval II port.
For both seasoned commanders and newcomers, the Command Slowdown feature is a game-changer. A staple in more recent Total War releases, this mechanic automatically slows down the 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 inputs. Now, players on Android or iOS can leverage their familiar desktop controls, providing an unparalleled level of tactical control and making this one of the best ways to experience the original Rome: Total War on mobile devices.
The Imperium update is packed with other quality-of-life enhancements, gameplay tweaks, and improvements that are sure to delight fans. Be sure to explore these updates to fully appreciate the depth and richness of this classic strategy game on your mobile device.
