Ancient Battle: Rome

Fun

Honest to the tabletop genre. Plays well, but rough around the edges. Not sure how non table top players would find this game. I miss the facing rules, but that may be too technical for a lot of players. If people have played Great Big/Little War Game then that might be an entry point for this kind of game, if you don't play hex based war games.

Very fun game. Love the mechanics and it includes the history quiet accurately Although, you shouldn't make us have to purchase more maps and games in a game that has already been paid for. That's just cheap

Plays well and keeps you thinking. Would like to see more effective palisades. Landscape influences battles. If you like stratergy games this is a must.

Amazing awesome addictive fun

Normally I’m not the biggest fan of ancient warfare, but I found this game to be exceptional in terms of content and gameplay. While I do feel like there are a few missed opportunities, or a few overly easy or impractically difficult scenarios, much of the game itself has a lot to offer and I’d definitely recommend it over a lot of the other ancient warfare games. Kinda wish we could play around with the 300-400 AD units though…I’d like to see a remake of the Chalons or Adrianople maps. 4/5 for good effort.

I gave it five stars sometime back, but lately some of my units refuse to fight, can’t select archers to fire. I’ve noticed it across the other ‘ancient’ games. Very frustrating!!!

As the title suggests, the recent updates for all HexWar games are geared for newer iPads. If you have these games running properly on your older devices it is best to leave these updates alone. Unfortunately, no consideration was given to those of us who supported these games at initial release as we are left with unplayable games, or crashes during the update install. Thanks for nothing!

Recent bug "fixes" ruined this game! I have been playing this (and other hex war games) for a loooong time but Ancient Rome has been my air-travel go to. Love(d) it! However, the recent "fixes" have broken it. First of all the graphics are worse; the units seem to have been compressed and harder to see. The unit strength levels are also much more difficult to read. A 10 looks like a 1 and 3 looks like 8. Also, some adjacent units now cannot engage each other. In the "Defending Territory" battle the enemy doesn't even advance! I regret downloading the patch & wish I could have the old app back. Please do a re-set!

Good game - horrible update being applied across all Hexwar Ancients and Civil War titles. New speedy animations look ridiculous. Cannons move like they are on ATVs. weeeeee !!! Heavy troops like Hoplites now speed walk like a perky fitness trainer in yoga pants. Hexwar - please put one more level of speed down so that there is an option for heavy troops and equipment to move more realistically like they once did.
