This Is Sparta! - Total War: Arena BombLive

There were TotalWar-like free to play games before, or at least one with a fantasy setting but just can't remember its name. There is a reason why they are not popular: because they are simply boring. If there is no option for speed manipulation the whole battle become slow and boring. It takes too much time to move the units into position: if the combat is quick, the games loses balance, and it will only be a 15 min run for a quick manslaughter but if they lower the damage output to make the fights longer the whole will be ridiculously boring.
It would certainly be entertaining for people, who like simulator games, but I don't think this game will be appreciated by a wide audience.
