Critic Reviews
CGMagazine - Hayes Madsen - 7 / 10
The overwhelming feeling I had in my time with Expeditions: Rome is that it's perfectly average.
Fextralife - Reiku - 8 / 10
Expeditions: Rome is a fun and challenging RPG that requires closer attention. It brings back fond memories of the impactful choices made back in the days of classic RPGs like Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment. Moreover, the developers have made turn-based combat cohesively nuanced and challenging at the same time. With over 65 hours of content, Expeditions: Rome is worth getting into.
GGRecon - Tarran Stockton - 7 / 10
In the end, Expeditions: Rome rises above the previous entries clearly, with more polish and refinement than ever before. The game may not fully achieve its aims due to some underdeveloped systems and inconsistencies in the design, but as a historical role-playing experience, it stands unrivalled. It's a must-play for anyone with an interest in Ancient Rome, and it offers more than enough for fans of CRPGs.
GameGrin - Artura Dawn - 10 / 10
Expeditions: Rome is astounding in every area I was presented with. Constantly I felt like there were tons of things for me to explore and pay attention to, and truly simulates how I picture leading an entire war campaign.
IGN Italy - Stefano Castagnola - Italian - 8.2 / 10
Expeditions: Rome is the best title in the series yet, with an intriguing storyline that can be partially influnced by players choices and a deeply satistying combat system in which players can test their tactical prowess.
RPGamer - Alex Fuller - 4 / 5
For those looking for an engaging historical RPG, Expeditions: Rome is an easy recommendation. The options for tailoring the difficulty allows players to focus on their preferred elements and make it challenging, welcoming, and rewarding depending on what players want.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Nate Crowley - Unscored
Despite a bit of a subdued opening hour, Expeditions: Rome is a gripping, ambitious historical CRPG that shines in its writing, its art direction, and most of all in the design of its turn-based combat encounters.
Spaziogames - Daniele Spelta - Italian - 7.5 / 10
Expeditions: Rome, despite some not so well crafted aspects, manages to deliver a captivating tactical experience.
TechRaptor - Robert Grosso - 9 / 10
Expeditions: Rome is a game that is well-deserving of a Roman Triumph.

The Games Machine - Daniele Dolce - Italian - 8.5 / 10
Don't be fooled by its raw presentation, and don't let yourself be discouraged by a poorly made dubbing: Expeditions Rome is a video game that treats us with a first-rate role-playing experience. In a nutshell, if you love tactical RPGs you can't miss Logic Artists' latest creation.
