Cheap mobile-like aesthetics and co-op focus 
Then again, after the original team split and many of the devs lost their minds with the daft NFT craze, there wasn't much hope left for the franchise anyway. It was good until it lasted, with Viking being my personal favourite.

Rome was great, very addictive combat system. I'll have to remember giving Vikings another go. I believe I quit when at the start of the second part, you're forced to use your secondary team which I had completely neglected, effectively softlocking me in the first fight  |
Rome has higher production values (better visuals, fully voiced dialogues, more polished combat system), though when I finished the game last year it did outstay its welcome a bit in the last area and the extra-mundane legionary battles lost their appeal pretty quickly. Viking sadly suffers from Unity-ian jank, but it's more cRPG-y so to speak, also in terms of depth and impactful C&C systems in place. Still, they're both greatly enjoyable and very much worth playing. Conquistador is interesting too, albeit that one feels a tad primitive compared to the sequels.
@Immunity: their new studio (Dynasty Studios) shows as permanently closed, so it looks like everything went exactly as expected |

Damn, I was just about to write that Rome was very good, and now this crap...? Only to learn by reading above that the original team is now gone. RIP franchise.
