Expeditions: Rome
Determine the destiny of Rome as you conquer foreign lands and navigate political intrigue in this turn-based RPG. Directly fight with your party of Praetorians, guide your legion to victory, and choose your own path in a story where every decision matters. How will you shape the future of Rome?
What it feels like
The game takes its Roman setting and character arcs seriously, with genuine emotional stakes in story and choice outcomes.
What it's about
Grounded in actual Roman history and its military/political texture, with real historical setting and conquest themes. Armed forces, warfare, and military operations across foreign conquest campaigns form the narrative and mechanical backbone. Navigating political scheming and diplomacy alongside military conquest drives a significant narrative thread.
How it plays
Turn-based grid-based tactical combat on discrete maps is the primary moment-to-moment gameplay, core to both party combat and legion strategy. Directly commanding a party of Praetorians with distinct roles is central to the combat and progression loop. All combat is explicitly turn-based, foundational to the tactical RPG experience.
How it's structured
The core experience is a bounded, authored story arc with a definite narrative beginning and end where player choices shape outcomes. Explicitly designed as single-player experience with no multiplayer component. Player choices fork the political and military story into meaningfully different paths and outcomes.
