- Feral Interactive’s mobile version of Rome: Total War receives a significant upgrade
- The Imperium update introduces new gameplay mechanics and enhanced user experience features
- Mouse and keyboard support now available for superior tactical precision
Feral Interactive, renowned for their expertise in mobile adaptations, has elevated their acclaimed Total War series with a robust update for Rome: Total War on Android and iOS. The Imperium Edition update delivers a host of new features, enriching the classic blend of real-time strategy and empire management.
While not identical, many of these enhancements echo the improvements seen in Feral’s PC remaster of Total War: Rome. Far from a drawback, these quality-of-life upgrades have been widely praised and seamlessly integrate into the mobile experience.
So, what’s new in this update? For experienced players, features like Positioning Mode, Melee Mode, and Automatic Deselection—originally introduced in the Medieval II port—cater specifically to strategic veterans.

Strategic Slowdown for Precision
For both newcomers and seasoned commanders, the Command Slowdown feature is a standout addition. Already a staple in newer Total War titles, it slows gameplay during complex orders, allowing for precise tactical decisions in the heat of battle.
Plus, the update brings mouse and keyboard support to Android and iOS, offering desktop-like control for an unparalleled experience of the classic Rome: Total War. Look out for additional gameplay enhancements and quality-of-life improvements in the Imperium update, available now!
