  • Summary: Set amidst the reign of Julius Caesar, Praetorians is an epic troop-based strategy game from the creators of the award-winning, best-selling Commandos series. As a Roman General on a quest to forge an empire, you will be transported back to the dusty battlefields of Egypt, the frozen lands of the Gauls, and finally to the heart of the Empire itself, Italy. Your quest will be no easy task as the lands you seek to conquer are heavily defended by thousands of powerful troops. [Eidos Interactive]… Expand

  1. Gamer's Pulse

    With outstanding visuals and audio to showcase its gameplay, Praetorians is a must-have for genre fans and a great introduction for newcomers to PC gaming.
  2. Game Chronicles
    90
    It's quicker, fiercer, and more exciting, and the military tactics utilized is something that has been missing from RTS games recently.
  3. PC Format
    73
    An interesting campaign and siege capability give it an edge, and the abilities of the troops and handsome locations pull it up over the average RTS, but it's more Gibbon than Plutarch. If you're a strat addict with a penchant for heavy armour, or a classical scholar, then you'll love it. Others might as well wait for "Rome: Total War."

    Very great game. It's one of my favourites. I played through all the campaign and then I enjoyed skirmish matches and also multiplayer. The enemy AI is very intelligent and graphics are very beautiful and a bit naif. It's a gift to Roman History and to De Bello gallico!. … Expand
