TW:RR has been developed by Feral Interactive, best known for making Mac and Linux ports of blockbuster games. The default felt a little crowded for me, but there are scaling options. both?

I’ve definitely enjoyed a few days of Roming it up, but it's been hard to put my finger on whether this feels like a solid nostalgia piece, or a new, weirdly unambitious entry in the series. The result, released today, is a remaster of 2004’s Rome: Total War called. It’s interesting, then, that the celebrated manbattling series has at last succumbed to the wave of remasters sweeping the strategy genre, and taken a rummage in the back catalogue. And though there have been missteps from time to time, it’s hard to disagree that the general trend in quality has been positive. Even so, the formula has been tweaked here and there, with every one of the nine and a half million Total War games released since Shogun in 2000.
