Romopolis is a strategy game set in “Roman” times with the overall objective of making money by constructing towns for Caesar. In every level you have 3 objectives that must be fulfilled to complete the level. These objectives are usually pretty straight forward and don’t require an extensive amount of thought or strategy. Perhaps the most challenging portion is keeping all of your residence happy. Yes, happiness of your tenants is actually a concern and objective. If only all of us had such luck with our existing landlords!

Gameplay:
Romopolis’s game play is straight forward and intuitive. The tutorial was very clear and helped you easily master the game. Simple mouse clicks easily guide you through the game. Features like pause, and detailed pop up instructions help keep you focused. The only real issue with the gameplay is it borders on boring. If you like these “build-a-town” strategy games, you’ll be able to find Romopolis entertaining for a good 20 minutes.To be fair, I did give the game a good solid hour of play before turning it off.

Graphics:
They were simple and clean and are one of the games strongest points. Because of the layout and design it was very easy to understand the game and follow along with your objectives.

Sound/Music:
The background music while you were playing was not distracting and fit in with the theme of the game. The basic sounds assisted the graphics to help the player understand what was going on and what needed to be accomplished. The only annoying part was the sound of the horn’s “Badom-Badom” as you were given your next mission or words of congratulations from Caesar.

Lasting Appeal:
Like I said before, if you’re really into this kind of game, you might play it all the way through, but it’s not something you’ll be dying to come back to or replay over and over again.

Review summary

Pros:

excellent tutorial, good design/layout

Cons:

boring gameplay, low replayability

Rating:
65%
