Grand Ages: Rome does offer an online version of play but I wasn’t overly intrigued by it as this game for me didn’t offer much in the tactical aspect it was more of a the Settlers meets Ages of Rome city-based style so the concept of playing online seemed pointless and possibly disappointing.

This game may be something to add to your strategy collection but I don’t think it’s going to be something that will keep you entertained for the hours on end you have with more other prominent titles out there at the moment. Nonetheless it’s a great development on previous versions produced by Kalypso it’s definitely more shiny visually but the actually game play beneath this glistening exterior could be much improved on, especially in the way of battle tactics and not just being your slightly over glamorised city builder.
