From the innovators and creators at Feral Interactive, ROME: Total War – BI is another fun addition to the World of Strategy games. Go beyond your mobile screen and play it bigger and better on your PC or Mac. An immersive experience awaits you.

So, playing ROME: Total War – Barbarian Invasion feels a lot like stepping into one of those epic history documentaries, except you’re in control of the chaos. You pick from a bunch of different factions—barbarians, Romans, even some quieter groups—and it’s all about strategy both on the big map and right in the thick of battle. The campaign is turn-based, so planning and outmaneuvering is a big deal, but then when armies actually meet, it suddenly shifts to these huge real-time fights where you command tons of little soldiers running around. It’s pretty wild to see a screen full of hundreds, even thousands, of units clashing.

What really stands out is how you can either try to protect what’s left of Rome or join one of the invading hordes and just tear things down across Europe. Playing as the barbarians, you get to storm through towns, raid, even just kind of roam if you want to. The game’s made for mobile, so controls are all adapted for tapping and dragging, which actually works pretty well even when using something like BlueStacks on PC—makes it easier to see all the details and command big armies without finger cramps. The cities, terrain, and all the little details in the battles give you that feeling of actually moving pieces and making big choices, not just clicking menus. It all moves between calm planning and totally chaotic fights so there’s always something to focus on, whether you’re plotting the next move or watching a cavalry charge smash into infantry. The whole thing is pretty absorbing, especially for anyone who likes big strategy games or just wants to try out leading a horde (or an empire) in a fight for survival.
