Disappointing

A step back from Expeditions: Viking. Some of the new mechanics really add nothing to the game - in fact I would say the additions actually detract from the game. These "additions" are the camp site, weapons and armor manufacturing and the grand scale battles. After the first one or two runs through the camp it becomes tedious. There is almost no point to the weapons and armor manufacturing. I can't believe they put so much time into something that you barely use. In the grand scale battles there is barely any input from the player and therefore becomes meaningless. The tactical combat is still challenging and very good and the story is also fine but all in all the game is still a dissapointment.

The Peak Entrance of the Series

If you've played previous titles (you should, they're great - even with Conquistador showing its age) this game will swipe you off your feet. The story is intense, with lovable characters (quality VA work in there for all the non-MC text), and important decisions (multiple endings), accompanied by amazing visuals, great (familiar but improved) turn-based tactical combat, map encounters, and some army & camp management (though I do recommend turning "Pacification Missions" off, as they don't bring anything substantial to the table, imho). There are a lot of fun references, and near-historic "accuracy". The team really did put a lot of effort into the research/preparations and it shows in the quality of the experience. Most of all I was first surprised by the Latin pronunciations in the game. Being well familiar with German and Italian (and to some, English) Latin, this voiceover brought a nice air of freshness with it. The combat itself is fun, and with proper tactics (and a sprinkle of luck) you may turn around any "unfair" encounter. It's saddening the devs decided to pursue 'different' endeavours, but in my book this is their well deserved Magnum Opus.

Its OK, some fun, but a bit too long

I played it all the way through. A couple bugs but nothing critical. My main complaint is that it is too long. There are 3 campaigns, Asia, Egypt, Gaul. They all play the same way so it gets boring. 2 campaigns would have been enough.

Excellent Tactical RPG

A little light on the story and the tactical map does make the game a little overlong but the battles are simply chef's kiss!
