Rome: Total War came out all the way back in 2004. I personally consider it as one of the best strategy games at the time. My cousin, another strategy game aficionado, and I played countless hours. We defeated our opponents, painting the known world in our faction’s colors. Fast forward to the present and we’ve got Total War: Rome Remastered.
Total War: Rome Remastered, developed by Feral Interactive, presents a slew of changes that make the game more in line with some of Creative Assembly’s other releases. These include QOL improvements, 4K and ultrawide support, high-resolution textures, additional options, map overlays, and even a new agent. With so many intricacies, and because certain concepts from the original were also retained, it can feel like a mish-mash of sorts. In any case, here’s our Total War: Rome Remastered guides and features hub to help you out.
