Hopefully Rome 2 will be in the near future! ### 1/5 — Would like a refund *2026-07-27, version 1.7.1* I love these games, was super excited to see empire was available. I paid and downloaded the game only to be told it’s not supported on my device despite it specifically saying it was on the download page. This is theft. The page I get taken too for a refund says there is no refund available, which makes no sense. Never been able to even open the game. ### 5/5 — Bro are the haters stupid *2026-07-22, version 1.7.1* Why are people hating when they have outdated devices bro are you stupid or something obviously it’s gonna crash and have graphics problems and why the hell would it have good graphics it’s massive battles on a phone bro chill the problems not the company or the employees or whatever it’s the whiners that complain when there trying to play it on outdated phones give the devs a break I don’t think any of the haters know how hard it must be to try to replicate a pc game on a phone. ### 1/5 — DEVS SHOULD BE ASHAMED *2026-07-19, version 1.7.1* THE WORST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF GAMES. If you’re wondering why the total war franchise is dead you can thank this game right here. SEA AND LAND BATTLES ARE TRASH. Forget the horrible graphics quality, the game play itself is terrible. 6x speed and every battle takes 20 mins just for your troops to get within firing range of the enemy. Sea battles have no logical order and commands are never followed. Rome total war for iOS is amazing. The Devs that made this game should be fired. Do better Ferral ### 5/5 — Like on computer *2026-07-18, version 1.7.1* Exactly like on computer but a little bit more complex because different as it is on the touch screen. I love to be able to play one on my favorite total war anywhere with me. ### 4/5 — great but no love for custom battles. *2026-07-16, version 1.7.1* amazing port, but the custom map selection & army budget are severely undercut only making campaign viable for those large scale encounters & city battles like in the menu artwork. truly sad it's been so long and still no love for customs. ### 5/5 — Best total war game *2026-07-14, version 1.7.1* Best total war game I have ever played ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-07-12, version 1.7.1* Love the game really good use to play it on pc pretty cool that it’s available on iPhone ### 4/5 — This game is a masterpiece but i only need one thing *2026-07-11, version 1.7.1* Ever since i was young i played strategic games and seeing total war games was the best thing i’ve done…empire has been the best so far but only i need one thing which is making combat harder than it is .
