About

History: Great Empires - Rome is a 2D turn-based strategy game released in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, developed in association with the History Channel television network. Set during the height of the ancient Roman Empire, the game places players in command of Roman forces and territories during one of antiquity's most celebrated civilizations. As a turn-based title, gameplay unfolds in discrete strategic phases, requiring deliberate planning and decision-making rather than real-time action. The 2D presentation suits the handheld format, delivering a historically themed strategic experience on a portable platform. Its connection to the History Channel brand grounds the game in an educational entertainment context, drawing on the network's focus on historical subjects. The Roman Empire setting provides a familiar and well-documented backdrop for the strategic systems at the game's core.
