Video: RPG dedicated to Rome – Expeditions: Rome presented

THQ Nordic and Danish studio Logic Artists have unveiled their new RPG called Expeditions: Rome. It promises a ton of engaging stories and memorable characters, and player choices will be key to determine the fate of Rome itself.

Those who liked the studio’s previous projects – Expeditions: Conquistador and Expeditions: Viking – will surely like the new part. The game tells a young legate at the head of a legion against the forces of rebellious Greece. An unknown political enemy killed the protagonist’s father – this forced him to leave the Eternal City.

The story will take the player to all corners of the world – from the sunny seashores of Greece to the dense forests of Gaul and the vastness of North Africa. The campaign will allow you to find friends and allies, become a fearless warrior and a wise leader, and at the same time uncover political conspiracies that have consequences for the future of all of Rome. It will be possible to make destinies both with an iron fist and with sweet speeches.

The battles will be turn-based, with an emphasis on a variety of character skills and weapons. Correct tactics will help the protagonist and his warriors overcome trials. Along the way, you will have to recruit legionnaires, improve the camp, conquer regions, use resources, and defend their territories, leading the legion to victory.

The game will allow you to customize the appearance of the character, his gender, class, and skills; go on an adventure with five unique companions, get to know them better and learn their unusual stories; increase the level of each character, developing many active skills and passive abilities; get, create and use a variety of weapons, armor, and items in battle.

Full voice acting in English and German is promised (Russian localization is limited to subtitles and text). Expeditions: Rome is in development for PC and has already got its Steam page. The premiere will take place this year.
