Long beloved by history and strategy buffs, Rome: Total War has been reinvigorated with the Barbarian Invasion expansion. This add-on breathes exciting new life into the classic game by shifting the setting to the late Roman era and introducing formidable barbarian factions as playable forces. After hundreds of hours spent commanding the mighty legions, veterans and newcomers alike will relish the chance to raze Rome to the ground.
RUTHLESS HORDES TO COMMAND
Barbarian Invasion allows players to lead the very tribes that contributed to Rome’s collapse. Choose from 18 factions, including the Huns, Vandals, Saxons, and Visigoths. Each features distinct unit rosters, abilities, migration mechanics, and playstyles. Sack legendary cities and establish new kingdoms as you march across Italy and beyond. Compared to the base game, the barbarians bring greater emphasis on mobility and pillaging unfortified settlements.
ENHANCED TURN-BASED GAMEPLAY
The classic Total War combination of strategic decision-making and real-time battles is enhanced by new mechanics. Horde gameplay lets most barbarian clans capture settlements to gain income, then strategically relocate their camps. Leaders and armies can also hide in forests for ambushes and lightning raids. These features make for dynamic campaigns where geography and mobility are key.
SCALE AND POLISH ON MOBILE
Built from the ground up for touchscreens and mobile processors, Barbarian Invasion retains the epic scope of its PC counterparts. Treasured gameplay pillars like city building, technologies, diplomacy, and family trees make the transition intact. Streamlined controls and interface make it easy to order formations, toggle abilities, check unit cards, and more in battle. See thousands of soldiers clash right in your hand.
VISUALLY STUNNING BATTLEFIELDS
Barbarian Invasion ushers Rome: Total War’s visuals into the modern age. Unit models, animations, terrain, and more are beautifully rendered and optimized for mobile. Zoom in to see individuals in the raging horde or pull back to survey entire armies clashing amid picturesque Italian hills and forests. Either way, it’s a visual feast for ancient warfare fans.
A FITTING CAPSTONE
As the definitive Rome: Total War experience for Android devices, Barbarian Invasion is a must-play for franchise fans. Both long-term veterans and those trying their first Total War will find much to love in this expansion. Immerse yourself in history by toppling the Roman Empire under the banner of the barbarians flooding across late antiquity’s chaotic world stage.
