Unironically need a NASA supercomputer to run this.

yes

What can I say? It's free.

Perfectly qualified for NASA now.

Don't visit the cereal box.

It's impossible to go faster than light.

Been waiting for 8 years (even though Rome Total War 1 was released ~10 years ago) and I get slapped with this pile of pig manure. Couldn't play for the first few hours, as this game is terribly made and optimized. Especially since it's running the warscape engine, which is more towards projectile warfare rather than melee warfare and accompanied with one on one combat focusing only on kill animations to determine the death of a soldier. Battles just become huge blobs of clusters, with formations breaking really fast due to these ridiculous kill animations. To make this game even moderately enjoyable, it had to be modded very HEAVILY. More details on how terribly designed the game can be watched by,

worth the long watch

Angryjoe's review is also spot on with the mistakes made.

And unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this game, as I was looking foward to this since Rome Total War 1. But being a hardcore Total War fanboy, I tried and tried to enjoy it. It also upsets me that they are releasing these pointless $15 DLCs that add virtually nothing to the game. And $15 is just too much for something like that, epsecially with a broken game. But, they proceed to release DLCs instead of trying to fix the game, or perhaps as a stretch create an entirely new engine. Honestly though, I'll probably fall for CA's next Total War game, and preorder it, just to be dissapointed again (but everything can change if they make a new engine).

This game can't be fixed, as the game is broken to its core. Its design and mechanics are terrible. And again, the core flaw is the engine itself. I don't really care for bugs, as they can be easily fixed with patches, but a game that is broken down to its design can't be fixed. You have strip the entrie game to its bone and rework it. Essentially creating a new game.
