The Total War series of games is among the most respected strategy franchises ever and when first released on the PC, ROME: Total War was regarded as one of the best. That was in 2004, so could it make the transition to today’s mobile devices? The 2016 release of the iPad version proved it could and now it’s available on iPhone, with a host of new and improved features that also upgrade the iPad game. It’s a universal app, so if you already own it on your iPad you can install it on your iPhone at no extra cost.
The new universal app offers the entire iPad experience on both iOS platforms, with a revamped interface to best suit a smaller iPhone screen. It uses the latest Apple Metal API, which improves performance, allows for enhanced graphics, and reduces the strain on the battery (though it’s still fairly heavy). ROME: Total War might be over a decade old on the PC but it certainly doesn’t look dated on iOS devices.
