Field of Glory II received generally favorable reviews upon its release. It holds an average of 84/100 on aggregate website Metacritic. Tim Stone of Rock Paper Shotgun wrote about the beta version: "Like its forerunners, FoGII produces gripping battle after gripping battle. Even the three tutorial skirmishes are absorbing. The beta leaves me questioning Byzantine's campaign thinking, but confident the PC is about to get something it's been without for a very long time – an ancient wargame with popular appeal and historical heft." Field of Glory: Empires Field of Glory Empires was developed by AGEod and released on July 11, 2019. It is set from 310 BC until the end of 2nd century AD in Ancient Rome. A DLC pack, Persia 550 – 330 BCE, was released on May 21, 2020. Reception Field of Glory Empires received generally favorable reviews upon its release. It holds an average of 76/100 on aggregate website Metacritic. The game was often compared to Imperator: Rome, another 2019 strategy game about the Roman Empire. Strategy Gamer said that "Empires lacks the breadth Imperator has striven for and is a few years behind what Total War is doing these days, but it's a smartly made game and gives a deeper military experience for those who prefer those aspects. It's definitely one to consider and an excellent new contender in the grand strategy space." Bill Gray of Wargamer gave the game a positive review and called it "one of the best ancient grand strategy games on the market". Jörg Luibl of 4Players said that "This is dreary, sometimes plain boring and frustrating. Even if you get into the mechanics thanks to YouTube-videos (!), there are way too many shortcomings." Tim Stone of Rock Paper Shotgun summarized: "I'd be surprised if Field of Glory: Empires didn't go down as one of 2019s best grand strategy offerings. At the very least it looks certain to be remembered as an essential add-on for the finest Ancients tactical wargame around." Gamepressure listed Empires
