A weak attempt at copying Total War

User Rating: 6.3 | Imperial Glory PC
Unfortunately, this game is really a blatant and failed rip-off of the Total War series. Much of the interface is the same, but without many of the useful shortcuts and keyboard changes available to Rome Total War. The battles are quick and the melee combat makes you wonder which side is winning etc, and its much too convuluted. The graphics are great. I'd give these guys more credit if it wasn't such a rip off of all of someone else's (Creative Assembly's) great works. The sea battles aren't really that compelling, and the campaign map is fun but not any improvement on RTW. Judged against Real time strategy like Cossacks and others, this game isn't so bad, but for what it aims for, it disappoints.
