ROUND-UP
- Imperator: Rome
Price: £34.99 from Steam (fave.co/2xD9XKV)
This is a sweeping grand strategy game that
takes heavy cues from Paradox’s own ambitious
Europa Universalis series, but here you’re largely
dealing with the squabbling, power-hungry
elected Senators of the Roman Republic rather
than Paradox’s usual entitled rabble of kings and
queens. You’ll pass laws, ask gods for favours,
and occasionally go to war (provided the Senate
agrees). Suffice it to say that there’s a lot going on
here, and it can get overwhelming even if you’re
used to Paradox’s dizzying strategy adventures.
