About

Caesar in Gaul is a standalone campaign pack for Total War: ROME II covering Julius Caesar’s war of expansion against the Gaulish tribes. Players can choose from four playable factions in this conflict: the Gallic Arverni, the Germanic Suebi, the Belgic Nervii and Rome, in a campaign inspired by Caesar’s Commentarii de bello Gallico (Commentaries on the Gallic war). Offering a tighter scope in terms of time and geography than Rome II (58-51BC), the Caesar in Gaul Campaign Map is an expanded, more detailed vision of Gaul and the south coast of Britannia.

For me though, the change isn’t nearly enough to justify a purchase. This is still largely the same product with very little noticeable changes to gameplay, and when so much of the game is more than a little off in the first place that is, sadly, not a good thing.

Even at its best, Caesar in Gaul wears thin long before the end of the campaign. The terrain in Gaul is too flat and the tribes all too similar. Once you've cut down one swarm of shirtless barbarians on a broad plain, you've cut down all of them. If there were a bit more politicking, the context for all this slaughter might be a bit more engaging.

Se paragonato ad espansioni come Kingdoms o Warpath, Caesar in Gaul risulta, per forza di cose, un pacchetto avaro di contenuti. A livello di truppe e fazioni non c'è niente che un veterano di Rome II non abbia già visto, e anche la mappa, per quanto ben fatta, è piuttosto monotona.
