Feral Interactive, renowned for their exceptional mobile ports, continues to impress with their work on Creative Assembly's acclaimed Total War series. Now, fans of Rome: Total War on Android and iOS can dive into a transformative experience with the Imperium Edition update, which introduces a host of new mechanics, quality-of-life enhancements, and more.
While these updates may echo some of the changes seen in the PC remaster of Total War: Rome, they are far from being a drawback. The quality-of-life features from the remaster have been thoughtfully adapted for mobile, enhancing the gameplay for both new and returning players.
What exactly does the Imperium update bring to the table? For seasoned veterans, features such as Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection, originally introduced in the Medieval II port, are now available. These additions are designed to refine your strategic approach on the battlefield.
But it's not just the veterans who will benefit. Command Slowdown, a feature common in newer Total War releases, automatically slows down gameplay when issuing complex orders. This allows players, whether new or experienced, to make precise strategic decisions in the heat of battle.
Perhaps the most exciting addition for many is the support for keyboard and mouse. Now, Android and iOS users can leverage their familiar desktop controls, offering an unprecedented level of tactical control and making Rome: Total War on mobile as immersive as its PC counterpart. Be sure to explore the other quality-of-life, gameplay, and additional improvements in the Imperium update, available now!
