Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition

Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition is a strategy game that pairs a turn-based sandbox campaign with real-time battles. You guide one of the great powers of the ancient world and try to become the first superpower, using military, economic and political tools to conquer the known world. Most of the interesting decisions happen on the campaign map, where plots, politics, betrayal and ambition shape every move, and the story you end up with depends on what you choose.

When armies meet, the game switches to a real-time mode where you command forces of tens of thousands of soldiers across land and sea. The store description highlights a wide roster of units, from siege engines and heavy cavalry to armoured legionaries and barbarian berserkers, and says each playable faction feels distinct. The camera can move in close enough to show soldiers cheering or crying out in pain, and a new tactical view lets you survey the whole battlefield from above.

The setting is ancient Rome, and this edition includes the Imperator Augustus campaign, which begins in 42 BC after Caesar's assassination. Octavian, Mark Antony and Lepidus, the members of the Second Triumvirate, hold the republic's future in their hands while outside powers look for chances to expand. You can defend Rome against them or play a rival faction and profit from the chaos.

Several smaller touches stand out from the tags. The game offers adjustable difficulty, saving at any time, and camera comfort options, and it does not require quick reactions, so you can take your time with each decision. It also supports multiplayer, co-op, player-versus-player and LAN play, plus Steam Cloud saves and Family Sharing.

Steam's label for Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition is 極度好評, which is Very Positive in English, and about 88 percent of reviews are positive. That is a strong result for a game with tens of thousands of reviews, and it means most reviewers recommend it.

Steam calculates the label from the share of positive reviews and the total number of reviews, so a score built on tens of thousands of reviews is more stable than one built on a small sample. A high positive percentage with a large review pool suggests broad agreement, but it also means the reviews cover many hardware setups and play styles, so reading recent reviews is useful if a specific issue matters to you.

Taiwan Steam store prices are listed in NT$. The game is currently NT$ 599, which is also its regular price, so no discount is running right now.

The lowest price we have recorded is NT$ 149, set on October 11, 2026, which was a 75 percent discount from the regular NT$ 599. Discounts have appeared sometimes in our records, but we have not recorded the game as free to keep on any day.

Our price record is still short, so treat any verdict here as tentative. Waiting for a sale is a reasonable choice given how deep the last recorded discount went, while buying at full price makes sense if you want to start playing now and the strong reviews are enough for you.
