Hello! This is my first post.

I would like to ask the community, but in particular the team that runs this interesting gaming space, to add titles representing the Roman Empire to the shop.

A small list as an example:

I. Total War Rome II and Attila (+ the complete dlc's)

II. Grand Ages Rome (Imperium Civitas 3)

III. Ryse: Son of Rome

IV. Imperivm Anthology + The Great Battles of Rome HD Edition

V. Shieldwall

VI. We Are Legion: Rome

VII. Total War: Troy (within it are the dlcs where you can take control of Aeneas, who, according to tradition, the hero escapes from a burning Troy



Post Scriptum

Does the game Expeditions Rome have an Italian language translation? I ask myself and I ask you, how is it possible to create a game that then becomes a work of art in recounting the ancient past, particularly that of the Roman legionaries, and not include the Italian language? Yes, of course if we want to be precise, they could insert the dialogues in ancient Latin but then with subtitles in the various languages such as Italian, English, French, Spanish, etc.

Expeditions: Rome isn't historically accurate. Play A legionary's life instead, that one is pretty good.

There are some games on GOG which take place in ancient Rome. It would be nice to have more of them, though. But if you are looking for games to play, maybe this games might interest you: Caesar 3, Caesar 4, CivCity Rome, Aggressors: Ancient Rome, The Edge of Decadence.

I haven´t played any of them so I don´t know if they are any good.

If I´m not mistaken, in Civilization 4, the Ancient Roman units speak in latin.

You'd have to ask the corresponding publishers/developers of these games, GoG can't just add titles to the catalogue without their permission.

GoG themselves surely have reached out to SEGA/Creative Assembly or Crytek/EA numerous times in the past, but since the Total War games or Ryse: Son of Rome are still absent, it probably means that for now and for whatever reason, there's no interest in selling these games DRM-free on GoG.


In regards to Roman Empire-themed games that are available on GoG:
The Forgotten City

The Age of decadence is inspired by ancient Rome, but it's set in a fantasy setting with quite a few other elements (post-apocalyptic, futuristic). Very good game though.

Hello there and welcome, compaesano! XD

Having Latin dubs is a bit of a wishful dream for me, how cool would that be? Alas, I doubt many would appreciate, making it a no-go from an economic stanpoint. Sad, really.
It's probably the same for Italian, too, they must consider it not worth the effort...

Anyway, about tiles: The Forgotten City has a pretty accurate take on Roman society up to a certain point, although it's a time travel inviestigation game, so I'm not sure it can qualify.

Same for Age of Decadence and Vagrus: The Riven Realms, absolutely brilliant games that mix a look-alike Roman Empire with the post apocalypse. I warmly recommend all three titles, btw.

Imperium Romanum is on GOG as well.

the Caesar series

On GOG: Old World has the Romans as one of its playable nations.
I can also think of Celtic Kings (released in Spain and Italy as Imperivm).

Not on GOG (but I really wish it was): Age of Empires including its expansion The Rise of Rome.

Ryse: Son of Rome

Not on gog though.
Posted May 01, 2023
Also on GOG: Europa Universalis Rome Gold

Wait wasn't there an FPS or 3rd Person hero Roman Game released in the past 8 years ? I remember ads for one. Otherwise there is Total War: Rome II. Like it or not, there are quite many even from your list. But I want something more Stronghold 2 like also.
