For Feral Interactive, renowned experts in mobile porting, one of their standout achievements has been adapting Creative Assembly's acclaimed blend of real-time strategy and empire-building to mobile devices with the Total War series. Now, fans of Rome: Total War on Android and iOS are in for a treat with the significant Imperium Edition update!

While these updates echo some of the mechanics introduced in Feral's PC remaster of Total War: Rome, it's important to note that these are far from unwelcome. Although the PC remaster has its share of critiques, the quality-of-life features are universally appreciated.

So, what exactly does the Imperium update bring to the table? For seasoned players, the introduction of Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection from the Medieval II port will enhance your gameplay experience.

Now, players on Android and iOS can enjoy the familiar desktop controls, making this one of the most immersive ways to experience the original Rome: Total War in all its glory.
