60 of 183 · most liked firstIt’s like Crusader Kings, but for the poor. It's mostly a reskin of Aggressors: Ancient Rome, only with Greeks instead of Romans. It's a great game if you like historical 4x. I way prefer it to Civ because the mechanics are far more "mature" (it uses army supply, fairly complex battle resolution algorithms and the economics system in it is one of the better ones in a 4x yet) and the AI is actually pretty good, but the basic graphics are a turn off for some. It is an incredibly detailed game,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has some great ideas. Shame that these are woefully incoporated. The controlls itself are clunky. The diplomacy system, while being fun, could be better.. Being able to see immediatly who is at war with whom would be great. Having played the tutorial and afterwards a long campaign with sparta brought me to the point of ragequitting. After having conquered greece i was at war with persia. No problem here i thought. At first i'd tried taking the agean isles. But thanks to random storms…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me start with a comment on negative reviews: theres a bunch of them and only one that is anywhere close to having any valid critisism. Every other negatives ive read were from people clearly too dumb to understand basic concepts of the game, most of them after ~0.9 hours played (sic). If you cant be bothered to even finish tutorial, it is your problem, not the game's. Ok with that out of the way, lets move on to the review. Imperiums: Greek Wars is a mix of 4x and grand strategy game. Guys…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are so many positive reviews for Imperiums: Greek Wars. Reviews that talk about the various mechanics of the game, UI and AI pros and cons, and the passion of the game maker. Reviews that I read and that persuaded me to buy this wonderful game. I am not going to repeat all of those reasons, as, well, they have already been expressed accurately and thoroughly. Instead I will explain what I personally like compared to the other games that I play. I have over 800 hours in Civ 6, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the time period this game is set in and the wargame aspects like supply lines affecting the combat ability of your units. The option for mythological elements sounds awesome too. I really want to play this game but ended up refunding it for accessibility issues. If you have red-green color blindness make sure you really test the game within the refund period. Color deficiency depends on the person so it may be fine for you. The game uses red, yellow, and orange over a landscape of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In short, the game is very black and white - it's either fun and easy, or a boring tedious grind. There's no happy middle ground, which exists in more carefully and comprehensively made strategy games. It's not particularly buggy, and the points at which this game diverges from most other 4x games are done well, fun and engaging, but it doesn't help basic enjoyment for the same reasons most other 4x games fail. Beyond the first few hours (10-16, depending how slow you play) going through major…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like it when small indie devs manage to create a huge game despite their limited means, through clever design. This game features an interesting blend of Civilization-esque turn-based gameplay with the historically detailed complexity of grand strategy titles. The gameplay basics are easy enough to pick up on for anyone familiar with Civilization, but with several deeper mechanics to learn - yet without making the game feel bloated or too difficult on the easier settings. Where the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great strategy game, something between Civilization type games and Paradox type Grand strategy games. - nice looking retro style graphics, but not pixel art which I`m personally getting allergic to (too many games using it when they could easily use higher-res but still hand-drawn 2D graphics making them much clearer and better looking) - interesting setting, I don`t remember any other strategy games exploring this timeframe - AI is on another level compared to often braindead AI in similar…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have enjoyed playing this game a great deal. I continued on from the tutorial and have not finished my first game. But I'm 74 hours into the game. I have played just about everything out there that is grand strategy with all the various implementations of military tactics and degrees of tactical depth. The game is a gem. I'm understanding and learning more about it as I go. The economic element works well. Where there are mines it is relatively easy to figure out how to produce more stones…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is as BIG game, with a steep learning curve. I am a huge fan of 4X strategy games, and this Imperiums is one of the best I've played in the past 25 years. While it lacks the real-time battle field tactics of Total War games, the development and training of your military forces is all important; compared with TW gmes, all battles can be said to be auto-resolved. When ascending the learning curve I had several questions about certain game mechanics; I posted these questions on the forum…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't usually review my games, but this one is worth making a point. As a Greek and a strategy games enthusiast, I was soon intrigued by Imperiums: Greek Wars. Then, as is customary, I started reading reviews particularly the negative ones. I was dissapointed. I read about crazy random events, an abysmal fighting system, overwhelming casualties, badly incorporated diplomacy and trading system, clanky controls, badly distinguishing colours etc. That was, unfortunately, enough for me to say…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**AS A NOTE TO NEW BUYERS THIS GAME HAS A LAUNCHER THAT POPS UP AFTER CLOSING THE GAME AND WILL COUNT TOWARDS GAME HOURS!!!! THIS COULD NEGATE YOUR CHANCE FOR A REFUND IF YOU LEAVE IT UP AFTER TWO HOURS AND DON'T ENJOY THE GAME!!!!** For me, however, I do not regret getting this game and is well worth the purchase. Overall a solid 9/10 game for the price. If you enjoy 4X, especially ones with a little bit of grit, you'll enjoy this one. This game takes about an hour to understand, 4 hours to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been playing PC Strategy games for more than 30 years and this game is in my Top Five all time. Granted it isn't the easiest game to understand and if you dislike having to read manuals (and more than once, because there's a LOT there) you won't be able to appreciate this game. If you absolutely can't/won't read the manuals, the developer is highly active on both Steam and Discord and is very good about explaining how things work in response to questions. This game just hits so many…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It took me literally hours to get hooked on this game. I'm an avid gamer for 30+ years and counting and I especially love TBS games in all manners, yet, at the beginning I hated Imperiums. I even refunded once, then got back to by repurchasing. It's one of those slow-burning, hardcore strategies, which sadly went extinct lately and even I, myself got too well infused with the shallow strategy games lately. Which means that this game offers a hard landing if you give it a try and you expect a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyable mid-difficult strategy game! Less than a paradox but more than a total war. Good for shorter gaming sessions/campaigns as it is more relaxing than either of those brands. Expansions really make it - waiting for the next before I dive back in. Solid game overall.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Did you ever wonder what Civilization would look like if you had realistic supply lines to support your armies? If your soldiers might starve if you overextended? Or if you needed to have enough Coal to support your peoples heating needs? Imperiums: Greek Wars may not be easy to grasp at first, but it grows on you immensly, just as your empire does - until you overextend (again), your people start starving and you're once again reminded that this is not Civilization. But it is everything you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have been playing strategy games for about 25 years now, and in my humble opinion Imperiums Greek Wars is a masterclass of 4X mechanics. I'm not an expert or a programmer or anything, but having played 2 decades worth of strategy games I feel like I have a basis for comparison with other 4X out there. If you are someone who enjoys the Classical Rome and Greek period settings and strategy games, do yourself a favor and get this game! Some of my favorite aspects of the game: - Battle stats…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got my smug face handed over by AIs in a medium difficulty after arrogantly telling myself that this game's standard difficulty and the combat was a joke. Wiped the first nation, conquered my starting continent, and told myself, "Well, that was easy." Sailed to a nearby continent and almost wiped the 2nd nation. However, the moment there was one city left, a 3rd nation that hated my guts without my realization (because we had a couple of trades early on) suddenly waged an all out war, decimated…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice enough little game, passes the time, but bugs are killing it for me. in game events lead to the erasure of all of my cities and units. Yes, they are working on a patch, and, yes, they are very nice and will fix my save games for me if I send them via email, but that doesn't take away the frustration. Now the screen is frozen. I didn't buy this game to assist in the development
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like turn-based strategy games with loads of replayability and customization - this game is an easy choice for you. And the era of Ancient Greece is a great bonus - I love this era so this is a big plus for me. Btw I wish people recognize and praise smaller devs like Kube Games. The devs put a great amount of thought, care, effort and devotion to create this game. And honestly it's better than many games made by much bigger companies. Replayability and customization This is one of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was this game programmed in ancient Greece? The game has cute graphics that look retro. The special 4X lap system is exactly my taste and allows the player to lean back sometimes. The multitude of tribes and Greek Empires is enormous. But... there is also a lot of fiddling around to click your way through the news, trade and diplomacy system. The devs are very loving towards their community, and the community speaks highly of this game. This cute Game is making with love. Good gaming fun for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its got a lot of potential, and its already a better game than half the ones in my library. Deep mechanics, a lot to learn, and yet a fairly simple overlay and intuitive gameplay. This deserves more attention.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great 4X game, though has historical maps too. Seems simple at first but I was pleasantly surprised by the level of depth. Things I love: - AI does not cheat, ie doesn't get bonuses unless you specifically choose to give it to them. At start of the scenario you can increase their cunning without giving them extra production. - Resources matter, so you need to plan ahead and consider what you might be short of in 20 turns say. - Eg Slaves are a resource. So it you have too few slaves, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are great games that are supported by a big marketing campaign, for example Red Dead Redemption or Civilisation 6. You will always take note of them. And there are game gems that are developed by small companies with talented folks, and you have to be lucky to find such games in the masses - say Dominions or Shadow Empire. This time I was lucky because I found Imperiums: Greek Wars. There are already many reviews with good content about the incredible depth of this game. So I would just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imperiums Greek War is a great game. It looks a bit like civilization. But than with more depth and in my opinion more fun to play. I like history and Imperiums is scratching that itch. Starting a war and win it is tough. You need the armies and loosing one really hurts. So you really need to plan ahead. You can also make coalitions against an opponent. This is a real neat. You can also randomize the map which is nice as you do not know the world. Reported bugs are solved really fast. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Today's video is Aldarra, a massive box game that looks like its another game questing for Twilight Imperiums 4X crown. But it's not that at all. It's actually fun, fast and engaging, a sub 2 hour smashfest where players will be fighting the whole time. Check it out. youtu.be/pZBhvhN4EYI
unlabelledView post →Incredible strategy game. As a CK, EU and Imperator player, I love the pace, options and strategy involved. It's the type of game where every turn is crucial. I love the trade and diplomacy system. This game will keep me going for hours on end.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent gameplay that scratches that "one more turn" itch perfectly. Was my second most played game in 2023 because it is fantastic. I would recommend anyone interested to try the demo, you have nothing to lose but your boredom.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was at the begin skeptical about the game, because i had never heard of this franchise I played a bit the tutorial, played the spartan after that...and recognized that i almost couldn't stop playing the game anymore... Plus: + overall i would say the mechanics are complex, but also at the same time not too complex (like in Paradox games). I think they achieved a good balance between both. I was able to understand all main mechanics within 4 hours and the mechanics work well together. Also i…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game requires time and patience to understand and get into. But once there it is a hidden gem. I had lots of fun with it. I must have read the entire game manual and resorted to spread sheets to understand how the various multipliers work. For example the resource production multipliers seem to be multiplicative rather than additive, but multiplying all the in game modifiers shown to me does not equal the actual production of said resource. I noticed that the production was proportional…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just not a good game atm, was looking forward to this but it is quite a disappointment. UI is just horrible and not at all user friendly, game play does not flow, and while there are some interesting ideas they are not properly developed or thought out. Usually after a few hours play you have an idea of what you need to be doing and how the game mechanics works - I have no idea with this game, despite having a good look through the 200 page manual. For instance when going into combat there is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really cool 4X game. It's very interesting how it does things differently from several 4X conventions, which makes it very unique but at the same time a bit hard to get into at first. Once you understand the conventions the game proposes, you'll find an excellently designed game. I definitely recommend it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sing, O Muse, of Imperiums: Greek Wars, a strategic endeavor whisking us away to the realm of ancient Greece. With a user-friendly interface that rivals the beauty of Aphrodite herself, this game beckons players to partake in its immersive journey. Like the warriors of old, we traverse menus and command our empires with ease, allowing us to delve into the heart of strategic prowess. Like the gods on Mount Olympus, the factions in Imperiums: Greek Wars stand apart, each adorned with unique…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved Civ 30 years ago and got bored of it eventually. I also enjoyed the Total War games (esp. Rome), and had fun with the Paradox titles. But most 4X games did not offer enough different and interesting stuff, and these days I'm hard to please. But this ticks my boxes. I love this time period, and there are little things in here that feel fresh. Supply limits are a great way to slow you down in a credible way. It took me a little while to get comfy with the controls and the fact that you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At first, I was struggling and I didn't quite like the aesthetic choices. But, I kept playing...and playing...and playing. The gameplay is addicting, with a good loop and it is quite satisfying to see your borders expand, sack your enemies' cities, recruit a general, etc. I can expect I will have many, many more hours in this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am playing this game more than Humankind and The Old World, and I am still at the tutorial (I want to win!). Truly deep and fun and tough game! Logistics, diplomacy (true diplomacy), strategy and strategic battles, optimisation of your population, resources... If you want to learn more, go read their News section in Steam. The way Pavel is explaining the mechanics of this game shows you how good and with lot of though this gem was (and still) created. I highly recommend this game to any…

unlabelledView post →The more you play this game, the better it gets lots of replay ability, two games would always vary to a degree, lots to figure out does take lots of time to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a hidden gem. I love 4x games and Imperiums fits in perfectly with time period i like. It does not overwhelm and its very realistic, and its not your typical "paint the map game " which most are. My negatives to this game are more of a "asking developers to fix small issues " as they are just more of small inconvenience when playing than anything else. If you have not purchased this game and you love 4x games do so asap. Lots of great thought is being put into here, and looks like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maaaan whaaat a booore! Haven't been so bored since I've played the broken Civ series. It's at times like these I start to appreciate games like Total War, Crusader Kings, Old World and Humankind. Seriously, just pick any of these games and they won't be as boring as this one. I feel sorry for the developer, since the work is a total waste. It needs a spark somewhere. Too boring. EXPLANATION: I didn't try the Tutorial and went straight to create a custom world. Huge map with abundance of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a 45 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single farther to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game for Christmas in 2021 from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So I decided to make a Steam account and get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to kick myself for not giving this game it's proper due and time before, I've had it for a few, but never really got into it as I always had another game or project in front of me. So this is an early review insofar as playtime for this type of game, but from what I've seen so far this is a pretty amazing 4x type of game. Everything you wish Civ had, is in this game, from destroying bridges to slow enemy armies down, to supply, maintenance, dozens of national projects, as well as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imperiums Greek Wars has that “one more turn” feels. His mechanics seem easy at first, but it has a learning curve, after a few turns you get a slap in the face which tells you “I’m not like your others strategy games!”. Most of them can be tuned before launching a game so learn the game at you pace. What surprise me the most is the diplomacy, you can offer and agree to treaties that range from “Your trade routes can passes through my lands” to “You can heal your troops in my lands” which is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strategy, tactics, intrigues and Ancient Greece world with all pros and cons. Developers did huge work after game release and since diplomacy update strategy became much more interesting. Recommend for all who want to face real challenge, who love civilization and total war series.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I caught the bug, quite skeptical at first, bought on sale. But I like supporting niche games, especially historical ones. -There's a real interplay between the Greek cities, spear stabs in the back can happen quickly, the side missions force the player to move their heroes around the map. - The game doesn't reinvent the wheel, but that's not what we're asking of it. I was looking for a historical civilization, centered around a real and dynamic map. However ! Its quite different than…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game! Love the setting (ancient Greece, 4th century BC). Even after tens of turns the game is still unpredictable and keeps me on my toes (higher difficulty recommended). Support from devs is also incredible, got answer within minutes from asking. Best indie game I played so far!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is a good improvement over Aggressors. My biggest frustration is Iron Man mode requires an active connection to the servers... and when the servers are running slow ending a turn can drag on again and again and again. Even quitting an Iron Man game can take a minute for the progress to be uploaded. EDIT: Thank you for the response, Pavel. But why even make Ironman a requirement to have an active connection? What happens if my internet goes out? Or my power? There goes the Ironman…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing Strategy games since 1992 (Civ and a bit later Dune 2) I have seen it all: the Total War series, Paradox games like CK and HoI or even great Indiegames like Ultimate General: Civil War. I bought Imperiums: Greek Wars yesterday and I am having the time of my life. You should defintely try it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imperiums is the reason I joined ‘Steam’ (No regrets except waiting 2 years) I’m a fan of ‘Aggressors’ ( the developers previous game) so I’ve wanted Imperiums for a long time but I never felt the need to rush, after all I had a great game. The continuing improvements to the game system and new scenarios pushed me over the edge. This game is very well balanced and thought out. The scenario ‘Greek Wars’ is superb with differences between factions… After my first play as Macedonia I attempted…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Utterly brilliant game. The Depth is phenomenal, the research impeccable, and the Developers are actively commenting on reviews. I cannot recommend this game enough, and no, I didn't get a free game in order to give this review- I paid for the game through my hard-earned money. To the Developers; please keep continuing to develop this game. The engine is fantastic and mediocre computers can run it. In case you haven't though about it (I think you have)- a DLC with Justinian's campaigns…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK, I have only played this game for 5 hours but after years and years (yes I am old :)) of playing other games so far I am impressed with this game. It has enough balance between building cities and attacking and diplomacy to make the game fun. Oh and they actually have a manual in PDF form plus their tutorial works and gives you a good background on how to play the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wonderful game. Anyone who likes historical 4X strategy games should try this out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun game. I've played a lot of these type of games such as Europa Universalis, Imperator, Victoria, Crusader Kings, and while those are fun, there is a lot of investment in learning and relearning every time you want to get into the game again. I really enjoy playing this one because its not super hard to get into and there's a lot of strategy and a lot of things to master. The manual for this game is also easy to understand and follow so if i ever have question with how some game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This really is a wonderful game. I was looking for a turn based strategy game in the roman era to sink my teeth into and after looking at various games and their reviews I decided to go with this one. I'm not disappointed. The systems are so well put together. There are scenarios which by themselves could take up a ton of your time but I'm more of a sandbox type of guy and that has been my focus so far in the couple of weeks since I bought it. I love and appreciate the fact that there are all…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A solid and fun 4x game that's quite easy to learn but tough to master. I won in my first run of this game, although as my empire grew I found it increasingly difficult to sustain my big army. It was a very rewarding and interesting experience. My current playthrough is as the Spartans and on a higher difficulty, and I'm just scraping by. The game has 6-7 different difficulty options, and you can heavily customize the challenge to suit the experience you are seeking. A cool and unique thing is…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game and awesome dev. I struggled for a while to get the game running via proton on my Linux machine and the dev team/Pavel figured out the source of the text problem I was having, and fixed it for me in a beta branch the same day. Game itself feels like a solid replacement for Civ IV, it covers a much shorter timespan, but in much more depth and with an AI that actually bothers to compete (I like the mechanics of Civ V/VI, but the AI is so useless as to make it feel like you are the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I mainly only play on random maps, but this game has a lot depth, really good and meaningful depth. There is a learning curve, but it is worth it and once you understand the economy you will feel like a real king trying to build an empire. If your willing to put a little time to get a real experience for this great 4x game, then this will give you hours and hours of fun and enjoyment.

Seamlessly blending turn-based 4X strategy with historical grandeur and a mythological twist, it delivers an immersive experience like no other, with rich depth, endless replayability. Each playthrough unveils new strategies and pathways to victory, ensuring that no two adventures are ever the same. In summary, this game stands as a testament to excellence, a true masterpiece in every sense. Whether you're a history buff, a strategy enthusiast, or simply seeking an…
