You can just tell it's an older game, through all the work Feral put into it there's no getting around the clunky feel of it. Unit movement on the campaign map is also slow but thankfully you can speed that up with a click. It's been a lot of fun sending agents across the map, to infiltrate various towns to spread my influence, only later to come knocking with a battering ram and an army.Ī slow game, with each turn taking a while and longer as the game goes on while you wait for all factions to do their thing. Absolutely no crashing, no freezing or any other problems. Performance is great then, how is the stability of the Linux version? Well, it is without a doubt one of the smoothest Linux launches I've seen. It doesn't like screenshots being taken though, causing an FPS spike every time. There's no benchmark mode though as far as I can see to show it off. How about the battles though? They're just as smooth on max details, usually hovering somewhere around 100FPS. So when it comes to scrolling around the map, absolutely no issues there. The campaign map has been giving a fantastic 150+ FPS almost at all times, except when switching around between screens and jumping back and forth between the Map Overlay which gives a split-second drop which isn't noticeable unless you have an FPS overlay up. Feral have nicely tamed the Vulkan API so it purrs along quite happily once you're loaded in. Running it through on my NVIDIA 1080 with all graphics maxed-out, it's not really a big surprise to see incredibly smooth performance. While it is a remaster, the specifications needed are still reasonable in keeping with the original. Thanks to the intuitive interface and the various enhancements made to the experience it's been quite a joy to be able to play through. There's a reasonable tutorial which allows you to play while learning the ropes, plus your advisor will give you some actually useful tips as you're playing through the first time. Personally, usually I find it quite difficult to get into Total War titles, they're just not my favourite cup but Total War: ROME REMASTERED is surprisingly easy to understand. Complete Content: Total War: ROME REMASTERED includes the Barbarian Invasion and Alexander expansions in glorious new detail, and players will also gain access to the original ROME: Total War Collection (Windows only).
