More On: Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar

Ancient warfare afficionados and serious beta testers, mark your calendars for February 12. Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar takes its Total War-inspired gameplay to Steam's Early Access program.

Developed by Longbow Games, an eight-man team operating out of Toronto, Canada, the Hegemony Rome series combines overworld map strategy with real-time tactical combat, zooming seamlessly between the two. You play as a Roman general bringing Gaul under imperial rule, or you play as the Gallic tribes rising up to crush Rome's expansionist plans. There are over 621,000 square miles to explore (and subjegate), ranging from Britannia to the Mediterranean. Better start marching. This decades-long war against the barbarian hordes isn't going to end itself.

Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar will be available on Steam Early Access starting February 12.
