 PraetoriansDEATH OR GLORY? Your destiny awaits on the battlefield.
Set amidst the reign of Julius Caesar, Praetorians is an epic troop-based strategy game from the creators of the award-winning, best-selling Commandos series.
As a Roman General on a quest to forge an empire, you will be transported back to the dusty battlefields of Egypt, the frozen lands of the Gauls, and finally to the heart of the Empire itself, Italy. Your quest will be no easy task as the lands you seek to conquer are heavily defended by thousands of powerful troops.
Feed your insatiable hunger to rule the empire with this combat-heavy adventure inspired by the historical battles of Julius Caesar. Command the forces of not only the Romans, but also the ferocious Gauls, and the religiously fanatical Egyptians. Your road to victory depends on strong strategic skills – learning to combine units and exploit the enemy’s weakness is key.
Played out in jaw-dropping 3D visuals – from the immense scale of the pyramids right down to the individual centurion – Praetorians is stunning in its detail, scale and beauty. Incredibly intuitive, Praetorians allows skilled strategy gamers and beginners alike to fully immerse themselves in the story with absolute ease.
This epic troop-based strategy game is brought to you by Pyro Studios, the highly acclaimed developers of the award-winning Commandos series.
Unique Civilizations
Command the forces of three civilizations, each with a unique set of troops and tactics:
The Romans exhibit disciplined behavior in the battlefield, utilizing organization and flexible formations as a means of overthrowing the enemy.
Gauls possess the power of raw strength, more flexibility of movement on different terrains, and are very well suited for guerrilla war and skirmishes.
Egyptian priests utilize a combination of religious fanaticism and science to complement their range of military units.
Diverse Units
The Praetorians, the elite bodyguards of the Roman emperors, are just one of the many units you can command. Each civilization has 13 different units ranging from pikemen, centurions, and cavalry to specialized units such as the Roman gladiators, Barbarian hunters, and Nubian archers.
Pure Strategic Combat
Minimal base building and resource management means you can focus entirely on battlefield maneuvers.
Massive Fortress Sieges
