### 4/5 — Good but needs sandbox

*2026-08-14, version 2.0.1*

The game is great just needs a sandbox where you can spawn as many groups as you want and do coustome battles apart from that great but needs easy controls great work like always

### 3/5 — Turkish please

*2025-12-18, version 2.0.1*

Turkish please

### 4/5 — Great game

*2025-11-12, version 2.0.1*

I have been playing this game and its variations for YEARS now and still love it. It is however still a bit glitchy which is frustrating for example just crashing, and troops fighting something that isn’t there!

### 4/5 — How?

*2025-10-01, version 2.0.1*

How to change the language?

### 2/5 — Allora

*2025-08-25, version 2.0.1*

Ci ho giocato un paio di volte, solo che non è così semplice, tolgo tre stelle, una per l’impossibilità di assaltare le mura di una città perché gli arcieri ti disintegrano l’ariete dopo due nano secondi, un’altra per l’inaccurato posizionamento storico di alcune civiltà barbariche e delle mancanza di alcune fondamentali, Un esempio I Franchi che loro hanno piazzato a destra del Reno quando storicamente si trovavano sopra dove oggi c’è il Belgio, e soprattutto mancano totalmente: gli Angli, I Suebi, I Visigoti, Gli Juti, I Dani (messi al posto dei Sassoni). Per non parlare del mettere gli Slavi in estremo Nord della Russia dove ci si mette una ventina di turni per arrivare nelle terre da dover conquistare. E Infine tolgo la terza per la grafica, perché se devo mettere a confronto tutti i Total war a cui ho giocato, questo è quello con la Grafica peggiore. Io dico agli sviluppatori, cambiate almeno le prime due cose che ho detto, so che potrebbe essere faticoso, ma per tutti gli appassionati di questi giochi (tra cui anch’io) è veramente un dispiacere

### 2/5 — AVOID ON MOBILE

*2025-05-12, version 1.14.1*

It may say total war for mobile but this game was and has been designed for a key board playing this on mobile is hair pulling the total war series is one of my favourites but on mobile it’s horrible

### 3/5 — Not for me unfortunately

*2025-01-17, version 1.14.1*

I moved to Mac and apple products about 10 years ago and the only thing I miss about PC is age of empires. Finally purchased this in the hope it was somewhere similar - it is not. Far too complicated. Far too much going on. Endless prompts and hint screens. There is a perfect strategy game template out there (age of empires 2) and it’s not available on Mac or Apple Store and nobody has bothered to make anything similar. Please if you read this and have the expertise - make it and make your millions on App Store

### 5/5 — Update this game

*2025-01-08, version 1.14.1*

please add Roman testudo formation please I want this in this Rome total war barbarian invasion please

### 4/5 — Super

*2024-12-24, version 1.14.1*

Un po’ più difficile di RTW, ma molto divertente.
Qualche crash ogni tanto, facile da perdonare.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-11-20*

This has quickly become one of my favorite games, nothing is scripted, the battles are spectacular, and I love the Custom Battles. My device is an IPad Pro, one of the newest generations as of 2024, and runs very smoothly. I love how rewarding winning battles are on hard mode and the campaign is just perfect. The only problem is the pathfinding, but it isn’t game breaking, but the AI can be a bit dumb, other than that, the game is over all a great buy.

### 5/5 — Value for money

*2024-11-11, version 1.14.1*

One of the best games available on mobile/tablets!

Can get extremely in depth, love it

### 2/5 — Utterly unplayable

*2024-11-05, version 1.14.1*

Infuriatingly bad with touch controls. Constantly selecting the wrong unit and unable to attack units that are already engaged as it automatically selects the units already fighting. Utterly unplayable. The one saving grace is that it truly is the full Total War experience for mobile.

### 5/5 — It is very fun

*2024-10-21, version 1.14.1*

Buy this instead of Attila

### 4/5 — Language

*2024-10-04, version 1.14.1*

How to change the language

### 1/5 — Warms up iPhone 16 pro Max your senseless update 2.0.1

*2026-07-24, version 2.0.1*

Strong heating of the iPhone in Rome: Total War after updating to version 2.0.1 is associated with increased load on the processor (CPU) and graphics chip (GPU) caused by the technical features of this patch or temporary optimization failures. Since the iPhone has no fans, all heat is dissipated directly through the case. The main reasons for heating in version 2.0.1 Graphics reset: The update could automatically set the maximum parameters, activate the increased frame rate mode (60/120 FPS) or increase the "unit size". The calculation of the physics of hundreds of warriors on the map is the main cause of processor stress. Patch optimization problems: In version 2.0.1 code, there may be bugs that make the chip work at maximum frequency

### 1/5 — +-31

*2026-06-06, version 2.0.1*

Heats up after the update

### 1/5 — Horrivel

I played them all from shogun years ago this maybe its a mobile thing there is no castle attack or defend you cant take a settlement right away there is much missing from original game play i wasted my $ to buy this thinking it would be similar its very basic in comparison i played it probably a couple hours and gave up, Cumbersome to control land attacks is all you get by the looks

### 1/5 — it won’t let me click

### 1/5 — The game is fun

*2023-10-20*

The inaccuracies are too prevalent.  It’s close but just not right at all

### 1/5 — недостовірний опис до гри

*2023-08-25, version 1.12*

Гра цікава, але немає опції для щоб змінити мову, за замовчуванням стоїть англійська мова.

By far the best strategy game I have ever played. Liked it so much I bought the bundle. Loving them

### 5/5 — Rome total war barbarian invasion

*2025-02-14, version 1.14.1*

Ce jeu est incroyablement bien adapté et optimiser pour iOS, ayant déjà joué à ce jeu sur PC, je peux dire qu’il est vraiment réussi sur cette plateforme ! Pour tous ceux qui sont fan de l’empire romain comme moi, ce jeu est une merveille ! S.P.Q.R.

### 5/5 — Pls add napoleon total war in mobile

*2025-01-29, version 1.14.1*
