Yes. I'd like to see other theaters, like Egypt and Gaul, or maybe Carthage, etc.

Does Ryse take place around 400 AD?

It is impossible to date. It is very ahistorical. Nero is the Emperor and he ruled in approximately 60 AD. Additionally, the armor worn by the Romans is also early period lorica segmentata, so again, 70 to 80 AD. However, Rome does get sacked by barbarians in the game, so this leads one to believe it takes place perhaps much later. Who knows?

And sacked by... elephants.

Irish elephants.

I haven't seen any elephants yet. In the game, you're actually fighting the Britons...

OK - I won't get too hung up on dates then.

For those interested, only 9.99

The final chapters take sort of a bizarre twist...and yes, there are elephants.

Jarhead,
I take it you finished the game. I played it non-stop until after the attack with the elephants and then took a break for awhile. I just came back to it and I'm at the part where I'm manning another ballista with my men and I'm fighting off more barbarians featuring some big badass with two big hammers! He's a pain to take down but eventually I'll get him! How much more of the game do I have to complete after this?
