Critic Reviews
Softpedia
By Cosmin VasileHeirs of Alexander is a good paid expansion, even considered apart from the free update. The Diadochi wars are fascinating and complex. I played quite a bit as the Antigonids and I still have options to explore. The other successor kingdoms have the same amount of content. For anyone who exhausts the stories of the Diadochi, there's more to discover and more places to conquer when playing as Rome, Carthage, and the rest, making Imperator a joy to return to.

By David WildgooseImperator: Rome is grand strategy on a modest scale.

By Branislav Koh�tThis is not one of the best grand strategy games from Paradox Interactive, however still good, especially for new players.
Fun Factor
ByImperator is a strong instalment to the Paradox catalogue. It has a much stronger military focus than other Paradox games, and though it implements many mechanics of other Paradox titles, it can be somewhat limited in options for the player. The music, visuals and warfare are a major plus point however.

By Josh HinkeImperator: Rome has some rough edges and it's not quite up to par with the excellent games Paradox usually churns out, but at the same time, it is still a challenging and rewarding experience that's bound to keep you engaged for long stretches.
