Published by THQ Nordic on Steam on January 20, 2022, Expeditions: Rome is a turn-based RPG in which you’ll have to manage your legion, resources, and diplomacy. Choose your own path and try to shape the future of Rome.

Expeditions: Rome puts you in the shoes of a young legate who sets out from Rome and embarks on three campaigns across Europe and North Africa after a family tragedy. And according to SteamDB, it is available for $11.24 instead of $44.99 thanks to a 75% discount until September 21, 2026. 

You'll need to create your character by customizing his appearance, class, gender, and skills. Inspired by historical events, the story takes you to Gaul, Greece, and North Africa, where you'll carry out various missions to enforce Rome's will.

To succeed, you’ll have five companions by your side, and you’ll be able to recruit legionaries and improve your warcamp. Battles are turn-based and depend on your characters’ abilities and equipment. Passive abilities can also help you, and you’ll need to think strategically. In addition, you'll be asked to make political decisions that will shape your adventure and the outcome of your campaigns.
