The newest grand strategy from Paradox Development Studio is one of the biggest releases of April. Imperator: Rome invites you to relive the pageantry and challenges of empire building in the classical era and according to media reviews its a challenge worth taking.

The game currently has 81 points on Metacritic with top scores of 9.5/10 from Gaming Nexus and 92/100 from PC Gamer. It's been praised for the grand scale, complex gameplay mechanics, and depth that allows for hundreds of hours of play. Check out some of the review quotes below.


Huge, inventive and the reason I'm sleep deprived. It's brilliant. - PC Gamer


Imperator treats you to one of the most involved and interesting combat systems I’ve seen in the genre. - IGN


A good game with a lot of depth - just what one would expect from Paradox. Play it through once or twice just for fun, then grab one of the strategy guides that will be popping up to more fully appreciate the mechanics. - Gaming Nexus


(...) go ahead and buy it as it is a definitive Paradox grand strategy set in the ancient era. - Destructoid


Imperator: Rome truly has the depth and versatility to become one of Paradox’s finest. - GameSpew

A good review about what is wrong with the game at the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uaRPRFx6_c

Seems to be just a remake of original Europa Universalis: Rome without the whole progress from other Paradox games like Stellaris, EU4, CK2, HoI IV.

Probably the reason why people find it underwhelming.

It's currently 41% on Steam and dropping around 1% a day. People are tired of Paradox's release tactics.
Hotfix 1.0.1 Demetrius have been released. But seems like they din't bug-test the hotfix, as always. it doesn't seems to be working very well. lol

Paradox are great at ruining their own reputation with each and every move they make.
