Feral Interactive, renowned for their expertise in mobile ports, has elevated their acclaimed Total War series with a major update for Rome: Total War on Android and iOS. The Imperium Edition update brings a host of exciting features to this iconic blend of real-time strategy and empire-building.
While not identical, many of these enhancements echo features from Feral’s PC remaster of Total War: Rome. Far from a drawback, these quality-of-life improvements have been widely praised, adding depth and polish to the mobile experience.
So, what exactly does the update include? For veteran players, features like Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection—borrowed from the Medieval II port—will feel particularly tailored to enhance strategic gameplay.
Strategic Slowdown for Precision
For both newcomers and seasoned commanders, the Command Slowdown feature is a standout addition. Already popular in newer Total War titles, it automatically slows gameplay during complex orders, allowing for precise tactical decisions in the heat of battle.
Plus, the addition of keyboard and mouse support brings desktop-level control to mobile players, making this one of the most immersive ways to experience the classic Rome: Total War. Look out for additional gameplay tweaks and quality-of-life improvements in the Imperium update, available now!
