About Praetorians - HD Remaster

Praetorians - HD Remaster poster

Praetorians - HD Remaster revives a celebrated real-time strategy classic, re-imagining Praetorians in high definition for a new audience. The game unfolds amid the political machinations of an emerging Roman Empire, sending you across a campaign that moves from the battlefields of Egypt to the combat theaters of Gaul and finally to the heart of the Empire itself in Italy. The overarching goal is a crusade to become Emperor, and the road there is anything but easy.

Standing in your way is an Empire heavily defended by thousands of different troop types and war machines, each with special skills and individual strengths. Victory depends on learning to combine your units effectively and exploit the weaknesses of your enemies rather than relying on brute force alone. The challenge only intensifies the closer you draw to the Emperor, because that path leads you toward the Praetorian Guard, described as the most powerful and deadly fighting force in the entire Empire. For strategy fans on PC, this remaster offers a chance to relive a tactically demanding conquest with its visuals brought up to modern standards.
