More about Expeditions: Rome

Steam's global achievement data puts about 14 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 40.3-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 87 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 75 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 10 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2022 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 62 percent of the 174 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

There are still about fifty years left until the turn of the era, and the Roman Republic is in crisis institutionally weakened by a series of internal conflicts that culminated in the civil war between Marius and Sulla.

It's good. Straight up good, fully voiced, long game with decent narrative. Combat never really became boring for me, which is a big ask in turn based CRPGs. Generally, if you like party crpgs and already cleaned all the classics like Poe1-2,Tyranny,BG 1-3 etc, grab this one, I enjoyed my time with it.

Great Turned based game with some unique elements allowing some short turn based army clashing. Even with a little age this game stands up. Decent skill trees for customized play. Doesn't seem to have a noticeable level cap so you can keep on growing into other trees which I think is nice at higher levels. Great story telling with decisions that DO make a huge difference. You can get married, impact your story line...
