SummaryThe year is 270 AD. A string of inept emperors and usurpers vying for power has led the Roman Empire into near-total economic collapse. This is its gravest crisis yet. Eager to capitalise on Rome’s instability, barbarian tribes gather like a storm on the borders, to plunder the riches of civilisation. To the east, the Sassanids set out on a grand... Read More

Total War Rome II Empire Divided Empire is a good DLC who brings some fresh elements to an old-looking game. It's focusing on one of the most interesting periods of the Roman Empire (the reign of Aurelian). We can regret the lack of new content in politics after the free update. Total War fans are still unlikely to be disappointed. But to many other players, this DLC will feel dispensable.

Empire Divided is a fun change of pace from the standard Rome II fare. It has decent replay value and a ton of flavor for history buffs or just people interested in history that encourages the player to do some research to understand this interesting historical period.

An awesome refreshment to an already great game, although the price is not cheap In my opinion, fairly, it is totally worth it and provides quite a bang for the buck. There is no need to hate Rome 2 Total War just because of its rough release, appreciate the state which the game is in now and enjoy every damn minute of it!

One of the best campaign DLC for Rome 2 to be released so far. New game mechanics in this campaign and in the Power and Politics patch released along side of it. Hopefully this will not be the last dlc they make for this game.

The Rome II: Empire Divided DLC is the standard Total War that we all know and love. There are no huge surprises and for the most part, mechanics added do a good job at immersing you into the Third Century and a Roman Empire fallen into chaos. Banditry isn’t all that noteworthy but Cults are fun and thematic. In sum: if you can’t get enough of Total War, give this one a try.

If you’re really desperate for historical Total War content, then Empire Divided is fairly typical, but it’s certainly nothing new. And if you want a Total War game that better reflects crisis in terms of game design and narrative, then I’d say, just buy Total War: Attila.

This expansion is an opportunity to delve into a somewhat refreshed Total War: Rome 2 that I’m sure some will relish. But no matter how many overhauls take place, it’s a game that can’t entirely rid itself of that 2013 launch baggage.

Rome 2: Empire Divided is a weird beast. I have no idea why Creative Assembly went back and made this expansion. Maybe this is a part of some corporate plan to mimic Paradox’s approach to their strategy games or just a sincere, but uninspired attempt to breathe new life into an aged game. But in any case, it is too little, too late.

The Empire Divided campaign partially succeeds in being a fun new addition to the Total War universe, but it quickly becomes clear that the old shortcomings of the Rome 2 engine and a lack of great new mechanics, music and voice-overs make for an experience that feels older than it should.

Great DLC! Really enjoying it. One of the more challenging campaigns I have played. Happy they were able to add some new content to my favorite total war.

2018 and the game is finally playable. Good job CA with the last update. I hated the game when it came out now I can recommend it.

İdare midare işte. Ben pek beğenmedim. Farklı pek yanı yok. Yine de strateji açlığınızı dindirebilir bir nebze.

Boring DLC with recycled gameplay and plenty of bugs this DLC was released to please the history fanatics of the Total War series. After the Warhammer Totat War 2 release there was an angry mob of old fans that they didn't like the fantasy games of Games Workshop so they demanded from the developer to release the same old boring history type of trash. This DLC was released just for this kind of people it does not bring nothing new to the table except a new historical theme to satisfy the history fanatic mob for now.

"Empire Divided" feels more like an unfinished amateur mod than an actual DLC from a professional game development studio, which promised a lot more than that. A waste of time and resources. "Creative Assembly"'d better start learning from modders at some point, because they do this work a lot better than the studio and with interest.
