Rome: Total War, a long-time favorite among history and strategy buffs, has received a new lease of life with the advent of the Barbarian Invasion expansion. This expansion breathes exciting new life into the classic game, taking the action back to the late Roman era and introducing fearsome barbarian factions as playable forces. After hundreds of hours spent under the command of mighty legions, veterans and newcomers alike will relish the chance to raze Rome to the ground. Barbarian Invasion allows players to lead the very tribes that contributed to the fall of Rome. Choose from 18 factions, including the Huns, Vandals, Saxons and Visigoths.
Each of them has different unit compositions, abilities, migration mechanics and playstyles. Sack legendary cities and found new kingdoms as you march across Italy and beyond. Compared to the base game, barbarians place more emphasis on mobility and looting unfortified settlements. Total War’s classic combination of strategic decision-making and real-time combat is enhanced with new mechanics. Horde gameplay allows most barbarian clans to capture settlements to generate income and then strategically move their camps. Leaders and armies can also hide in forests for ambushes and lightning raids.
These features enable dynamic campaigns where geography and mobility are key factors. Built from the ground up for touch screens and mobile processors, Barbarian Invasion retains the epic scope of its PC counterparts. Valuable gameplay pillars such as city building, technology, diplomacy, and bloodlines make the transition intact. Streamlined controls and interface make it easy to organize formations, switch abilities, check unit cards, and more in battle. See thousands of soldiers fighting right in your hands. Barbarian Invasion brings the visuals of Rome: Total War into the modern era.
