Feral Interactive, renowned for their exceptional mobile ports, has once again raised the bar with their latest update to the mobile version of Creative Assembly's acclaimed strategy game, Rome: Total War. The Imperium Edition update brings a host of new mechanics, quality-of-life improvements, and more to Android and iOS players, enhancing the experience significantly.
While some of these features echo those introduced in Feral's PC remaster of Total War: Rome, they are far from unwelcome. These quality-of-life enhancements are a testament to Feral's commitment to improving gameplay across platforms. So, what exactly does the Imperium update include?
For seasoned veterans, the update introduces features like Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection, previously seen in the Medieval II port. These additions cater specifically to experienced players, offering more nuanced control over battlefield tactics.
For both new and returning commanders, the introduction of Command Slowdown is a game-changer. This feature, 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. This allows players to utilize familiar desktop controls, making it one of the most immersive ways to experience the original Rome: Total War on mobile devices. Keep an eye out for other quality-of-life, gameplay, and additional improvements in the Imperium update, available now!
