I would feel silly describing a Total War game. The odds that someone who takes the time to read Steam reviews doesn't already know that Total War is a 4X game with large scale RTS battles is minuscule.
What sets Rome: Total War apart is that it's the oldest game in the series that most people will generally agree is good, and I'm tempted to agree with that because it's basically a slightly worse version of Total War: Medieval 2 set in the 3rd century BC. Its got that "one more turn" feeling too, there's always someone to crush.
The issues are the same too, like I'm tempted to just auto-resolve every battle after a certain point.
Anyway, I think this is a pretty great game. There's also a remaster, but it looks like a mobile app so don't overlook this version.
