Feral Interactive, renowned for their exceptional mobile porting skills, has significantly enhanced the mobile version of Creative Assembly's Rome: Total War with the major Imperium Edition update. This update brings a host of new mechanics, quality-of-life improvements, and more, making it a must-have for fans playing on Android and iOS.
While the update introduces features similar to those in Feral's PC remaster of Total War: Rome, these are far from being mere copies. Instead, they are thoughtful enhancements that enrich the mobile experience. Seasoned players will appreciate the introduction of Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection, all borrowed from the Medieval II port.
For both new and veteran commanders, the Command Slowdown feature is a game-changer. This mechanic, common in newer Total War releases, automatically slows down gameplay when issuing complex orders, allowing for more precise strategic decisions in the heat of battle.
One of the most exciting additions for mobile players is the support for keyboard and mouse. Now, Android and iOS users can leverage their familiar desktop controls, offering a level of tactical control that was previously unmatched on mobile devices. This makes the Imperium update a standout way to experience the original Rome: Total War in all its glory.
Be sure to explore the other quality-of-life, gameplay, and additional improvements included in the Imperium update, which is available now. If you've already mastered the ancient world, consider challenging yourself further with our list of the top 25 strategy games for iOS and Android.
