Unlike most games dealing with the Ancient Roman world, Roma Victor is set in Roman Britain in the second century. It features social interaction on a massive scale, freestyle and mission-led gameplay, one on one combat in the Coliseum, and tactical warfare on the battlefields of Europe.

Explore the towns, political system, and stake your own claim in Rome or venture out into the unoccupied wild with all its danger and freedom. Character advancement is through a skill tree that develops when trained, and the game allows for much freedom in shaping one's character and roleplay. There is no monthly fee, but in order to play the game, an account key must be purchased from the website. An item shop is available for extras.
