Roma Invicta Open Beta
A downloadable game for Windows
In Roma Invicta you have the honor of conquering ancient Gaul with your Roman legions. The game combines action oriented real-time battles with turn-based strategy on the campaign map where you raise, supply and move your armies.
The game can best be described as a mixture of the old Amiga classic 'North and South' and the 'Total War' series.
Features
- Experience a lovingly handcrafted scenery of ancient Gaul.
- Recruit your troops from legionnaires to scorpion artillery to Germanic cavalry.
- Fight in tactical and action-packed real-time battles with hundreds of individual soldiers.
- Slow down or pause the battle to always stay in control and give orders with no hurry.
- Hand over parts of your army to the AI to always keep control even in larger battles.
- Supply your troops and always pay attention to the changing of the seasons.
- You decide whether to bring peace to the Gallic villages or whether to plunder them and thus further ignite the resistance against you.
- Different starting conditions and difficulty levels ensure replay value.
If everything goes as planned the game will be released in February 2022 here on itch.io and on steam.

This is pretty neat! I always wanted to play a mix between Total War and North and South. I'm a bit unsure about the battle system. You have basically complete control over unit movement, like in Total War, but units refuse to do certain things.. like they can attack diagonally but only throw pilae horisontally. Is this intentional? I was kind of hoping that battles were more like North and South rather than a blend between the two systems, but still, good game!
Thanks!
This is just an old beta version. The full and updated version with mod support is on Steam.
The horizontality is by design, but I wouldn't do it that way again :)
Yo mate, you need to make some more of these games. I would even give you ideas and pay you to mate. Love it to par with Total War Rome. Hope you have fun making these games for us.
my my, I am glad I found this treasure.
:D thanks!
This version here is highly outdated. It was just for beta-testing. For 5 Euro you find the enhanced version on steam including mod-support.
Thank you so much for the feedback.
To be honest the soldiers behavior in battle was the most difficult part and in this time I was close to abandon the project. What really helped was so set a maximum of enemies that can attack a soldier at the same time. But it took a lot of time for fine-tuning.
A nice sidefact...my soldiers ran and still run into the same behavior issues as the ones in Total War :)
Regarding sound...I tried with louder screams but it gets annoying so fast after some battles.
I think Godot engine is very capable of almost everything regarding 2D and simple 3D stuff and I really love working with it. Can't wait for the performance boost with vulcan rendering in 4.0!
Good game. I really like this game. I am also using Godot to make games. As far as I can see, this game you are handling collisions quite well. The activities of the warriors are also quite realistic. I've played the Total War genre before and you're doing a great job at it. More than that, it's made from the Godot engine. It fuels my belief that Godot can compete with Unity. However, the sound is not very lively. Although the screaming is quite good, it needs to be louder and louder for real.Those are some of my personal opinions. When you have free time, you can also comment on my game. Glad to receive your suggestions and guidance. Anyway I'm new in Godot engine.Thanks for your game.https://crynuswo.itch.io/dead-highway-trial-version
