The Romance series has always improved with every release and the latest incarnation is no exception. While keeping the winning formula of old, Koei has listened to its fans and made some substantial improvements to the series. Now each character has much more personality and style, which gives you more to like (or hate) about each one. Koei has taken every opportunity to immerse you in the history of ROTTK; they even seize the chance to show each character and a brief biography during the games save and load times, a very classy innovation.
ROTTK has not lost one bit of the depth that has made it known as the most hardcore simulation title on the market. What they have done is taken away the hours of micromanaging that was required once a large empire was established. Now, instead of worrying about minuet details of day-to-day operations, you are focused on the true objective, conquest. Almost every aspect of the battles has been improved. The artificial intelligence is sharper and the addition of controlled duels makes the whole experience more interactive.
ROTTK makes you feel that you are making history instead of just observing it. It even shows you what the real life counterpart of the characters in your control were able to accomplish in the same time period as you. While the type of depth involved in this simulation is not for everyone, strategy and historic simulation fans should pick up this title without hesitation.
