Description
A turn-based strategy game set in the rise of ancient Rome, inspired by classic hex-and-counter wargames.
Do you enjoy deep, tactical strategy games and historical campaigns? Populus Romanus is a turn-based strategy game where you command the Roman Republic in its expansion across Italy and beyond.
Lead your legions through a series of hex-based scenarios inspired by real historical conflicts — from early wars against neighbouring tribes to large-scale battles against powerful rivals such as Carthage.
Classic hex strategy gameplay:
Populus Romanus is built around traditional turn-based, hex-and-counter gameplay familiar from classic wargames and strategy board games: - Command Roman legions and auxiliary units - Use terrain, positioning, and timing to outmanoeuvre enemy forces - Experience tactical combat where planning matters more than luck
This is a pure strategy experience focused on thoughtful decision-making, not fast reflexes.
Historical campaigns of ancient Rome:
Play through multiple scenarios covering key moments in Roman history: - Expansion across central and southern Italy - Wars against the Samnites and other regional powers - Large-scale conflicts including the Punic Wars against Carthage
Each scenario offers a different tactical challenge, making this a highly replayable strategy game.
Designed for strategy and wargame fans - Turn-based gameplay that works offline — no internet required - Historically inspired units, maps, and battles - Emphasis on tactics, positioning, and battlefield control - Play solo against AI or in local hot-seat multiplayer
Whether you are a fan of classic wargames, hex strategy games, or historical strategy games, Populus Romanus delivers a deep and rewarding experience.
Scenario editor and simulation tools:
For players who enjoy experimenting and designing their own content: - Built-in scenario editor - AI vs AI simulation tools for balancing and testing
Create your own battles or explore how different strategies play out.
Populus Romanus is a turn-based strategy wargame that brings the classic hex gameplay experience to ancient Rome — combining history, tactics, and thoughtful gameplay.
Recent changes: - A fully remastered version of Populus Romanus for modern Android devices. - Includes also a scenario editor.

This is a great turn based strategy game, that has historically accurate descriptions of each battle. It has Advanced War elements: Units vary with regard to attack, defense, and movement. Units level up becoming more powerful with experience. Terrain effects defense and movement. Cities can produce new units and heal old ones. The maps are well crafted to provide fun but challenging levels.

Very good game I have had a log of fun playing this game. I like that I have to use both strategy and tactics to win each scenario. There are a couple of things that would make this a perfect war game: 1. Ability to pick units at the start of the 'scenario' 2. When you win a scenario you bring forward any surviving units to the next scenario 3. Chance to play both sides of the combat

Boring and repetitive. I'd like a refund. You need to add some city building features to give it some depth
★★☆☆☆A Google User· May 15, 2014
Half decent game Free demo was good however after purchasing the full game it got quite difficult. 4 attacks on the same person would fail even though chance of win would be 60-70% A lot of tactical planning is required

Bad logic. Spearman in river attacks my Praetorian in town and wins all the time.
