Is SPQR free and offline?

Yes. The full campaign plays offline. There are no ads and core difficulty is not locked behind paywalls. Optional anonymous analytics never affect gameplay.

What is the setting of SPQR?

Ancient Gaul during the Roman conquest. One free village still resists while Rome holds most of Gaul. Regions include Armorica, Belgica, Lugdunensis, Aquitania, and Narbonensis.

As Gaul, reconquer provinces and break Rome's hold. If the last free village falls to Rome, you lose. Isolation, region bonuses, and ingredient provinces shape the war of attrition.

Who should play SPQR?

Players who enjoy turn-based strategy, Risk-like territory control, historical Roman-era settings, offline mobile games, and hard AI without microtransactions.

SPQR: Turn-Based Strategy Game — Conquer Ancient Gaul on iOS

Q: What kind of game is SPQR?

SPQR is a free turn-based conquest strategy game for iOS. You fight province by province across a 31-territory map of ancient Gaul in a Risk-like reinforce, attack, and move loop against Roman AI.

Command the War for Ancient Gaul

SPQR is a turn-based conquest strategy game for iOS. Wage a campaign across 31 provinces of ancient Gaul — reinforce, attack, and move like a lightweight Risk, with a fixed historical map and an empire that actually fights back.

One free village still holds out. Rome owns the rest. Whether you defend the Gauls or crush resistance as the legions, every turn is a choice: press the attack, secure a region bonus, or funnel troops before Caesar answers.

Built for mobile strategy fans who want offline play, sharp AI, and a comic-book presentation — parchment, ink, gold UI, and a hand-painted map of Armorica, Belgica, Lugdunensis, Aquitania, and Narbonensis.

Choose Your Side

GAULS Indomitable. Outnumbered. Unbroken. Hold the village, brew reinforcements, take Gaul back province by province.

ROME Disciplined. Relentless. Everywhere. March the legions, isolate enemies, and end the last free pocket of resistance.

How a Turn Works

Learn in minutes. Master on Hard.

Reinforce — spend cauldrons to place warriors in connected provinces. Isolated pockets cannot be restocked until you reconnect them.
Attack — invade adjacent Roman camps. Your attack budget depends on difficulty (up to 4 on Easy, 2 on Hard).
Move — redeploy troops along friendly borders to prepare the next push or shore up a threatened front.
End turn — Rome reinforces, attacks, and moves. Survive the reply, then push again until Gaul is free — or the village falls.
