Our take on Roads of Rome
The focus on road construction and assigned tasks limits the range of strategic activities presented. It gives up broader Roman empire management in favor of a more directed journey tied to Victorius’s personal goal.
What is Roads of Rome?
Roads of Rome blends casual strategy, simulation, and time-management gameplay with a story about Victorius, a Roman general who wants to marry Caesar’s daughter.
