    Limited, but compelling. For a full-price add-on, you'd judge it more harshly, but for £8.50 (Plus an extra couple of quid if you want the "Download Insurance", which frankly sounds a little sinister), for some strategic challenges while we all wait for "Medieval 2" it's entirely acceptable.

    If you're looking for a brutal campaign requiring every ounce of military strategy and luck, one that requires you to throw your best general right into the thick of things while laying waste to everything you touch, you might want to give Rome: Total War -- Alexander a whirl.

    Ridiculously difficult.

    Very weak, unbalanced, without optimisation. Even now with gtx 1070 25-35 fps. Without mods and config changed by user unplayable.

Gameplay and story were good and maybe it is not better than many total war games but still can get a shot. After Rome 2 total war it is not important but were still remarkable.
