    I have not played the first Hegemony game, so i can not make comparisons on how good/bad this one is compared to that one.

    However; as someone who comes from the Total War series (started with Rome 1 back in 2004) , i have to admit that i was quite skeptical about this game when i first decided to try out, for my surprise Hegemony Rome turned out to be quite impressive!

    Sure the battles do not have the scale nor the complexity that Total War has, but the rest of the game is way "superior" in many aspects, specially its depth and "realism".

    I have not completed the single player campaign yet, but i am close to doing so(nearing the end of chapter 4), i must have put around 20h + into this game so far, and i don't regret it, its been wonderful! Also i don't know about other people but i have only encountered ONE crash to desktop so far, and no bugs yet (it might help that i first tried the game in December 2014, over half a year after its original Release Date: May, 2014)

    Definitely worth every penny in my opinion!    … Expand

    Cool game. Lots or repeatability. Never seen a grand strategy real time game where you can zoom right into battles as well as make broad strategic choices re your empire. Fun and challenging. Although I like Hegemony 3 better.

    Almost everything here is mediocre, and that's really a shame given the promise of Wars of Ancient Greece.

    Hegemony Rome's quick, neat and easy approach to grand strategy puts impressive control in the player's hands.

    It throws out pretty much everything you thought you knew about Real-Time Strategy and then proceeds to - successfully - reinvent the genre altogether.
