Leave a Review Rise of the Roman Empire. Rome
Needs improvements
I liked playing this game, I love building games that I can do at my own pace, but, everything is so jam packed together, it’s a pain to move or rearrange anything, and when you try touching something to move it, you get the road that’s behind it, or when you try to collect your goods produced, you get whatever is behind that building, got really frustrating, should have like a temporary storage spot to put stuff so rearranging is easier, and balancing the population needs work, I mean by the time you get enough to do anything, you have like 30 low lvl housing and just to add better ones and sell low level, you need population, so ya needs work, uninstalledShow lessWhiteWolf🐺

Thanks for playing our game! We will take into account your comments on the future development of the game.Poor game
Terrible Terrible Terrible game if you go into raids and step away during negotiations and game resets and is always stuck in that mode and you can never get your city back to what you had! You delete game to try reset and it loses everything have to start all over. Has happened multiple time and I’m done messing with this poor company.

It takes far too long to level up. Not sure what the point is, but seems very well made. A lot of waiting around.Leif80
Ok game
The game is fun but moves very slow but I’m early in the game presently. There needs to be more to do and make things cheaper to speed the game up.Westfoot11
Cute Game that is fun and relaxing.
I am a long time player of Forge of Empires and this seems to be a simplified version. I have a wish list future upgrades.
1. I would like to cancel an order for goods or supplies after it is made. I have hit the wrong button more than once.
2. I upgraded a building beyond the level a quest calls for. Do I rally have to sell the building and start over?
3. There are quests appearing that are way beyond my capabilities.Show lessbarmarch

Thank you for the feedback! If you made a random purchase, you need to contact Apple support for a refund. To demolish a residential building, you need to have a population greater than this house brings. For example, to demolish a Hut, the required population is more than 28. You can learn more about this in our FAQ in the game settings.Don't Bother - Too Much Money Grabbing
This game was kind of fun, but you very soon get to the point that you would need to spend ridiculous amounts of money just to progress at a low/moderate level. I expect to pay for some in-app purchases with any game to support the developers of the game but this one expects way too much.DudeinPortland
Don’t waste time with this nonsense. Delete right now.
This could have been such a fantastic game. But almost everything in this game is done wrong.
1. Food and Gold - the 2 big currencies are in such short supply that you can barely play for 15 minutes cumulatively in the entire day.
2. You expand your city through expansions. These are so small that you can barely place one 3 by 3 building on each one. So you save gold for 3 days , unlock the expansion technology in the research tree (you have to unlock it each time you want to get an expansion) and then all you get is this minuscule place to grow your city into.
3. The ships that can take your goods so you can get more gold - if this worked it would be so much easier and fun to play. You fight pirates and the route is now safe. You send your ships on a safe route. They randomly still get attacked by the pirates and you lose your goods and the ship which again costs tons of money and food to build.
4. Decorations- good news is that they don’t require a road to connect and so can be placed anywhere. Bad news - as you upgrade your research on these, you need to delete the old ones coz they don’t give you that much culture. Never mind that you liked the look of that fountain more than the school. So once you get the school, you basically delete fountains and put schools. Then you get temple, you delete schools and put temples. It destroys the look of your city. And soon you will realise it’s best to clump all the decorations into as small a place as possible because of the limited space. Your city has no aesthetic appeal left. You have to basically juggle your buildings and decorations to fit in these tight places with acres and acres of map waiting to be unlocked.
Perhaps the longest review I have ever written - I did want to give this game a chance but at every turn this game simply didn’t feel fun or playable. This is perhaps the most perfect example of how not to make a game.
I am glad I didn’t s-end any money on this game - simple math will tell you that you might have to spend in hundreds of dollars simply to actually play the game.
These kind of devs should be banned form the App Store. Don’t download. Don’t buy anything. If you did make the mistake of downloading this . Delete.Show lessKhurshed
Seriously bad
I don’t understand all the five star reviews. This game has horrible UI that constantly tries to get you to slip and click on an ad. It’s also terribly slow progress. It feels like a money trap immediately.MikeD1198
Don’t bother downloading
Nostalgia aside from the old PC games we long for, this is a horrible concept for a game. Most Empire Building games I have played, you always have an abundance of food, and little to no currency to use to upgrade items in game...but this game is the complete opposite. Everything in game requires an inordinate amount of food to build, INCLUDING flowers, but the production of food is worse than watching grass grow...literally. Food does not automatically get collected...you have to click to gather it...so be prepared to be glued to your screen for every minute, out of the day, if you want to progress...UNLESS you crack open your wallet. You have to “research” expansions to place buildings, yet each DP (development point) takes an hour to be available...and every research requires 2 or 3 DP. Buildings have to be connected by road (just like the PC game of old) but your expansion clearing is so small, that it makes development impossible beyond playing for a day or 2...UNLESS you crack that wallet. So disappointing...coulda been a good game minus developer greed. This game is a case study on how NOT to make a playable app.Show lesswoodzmn

So far it’s been interesting building and developing my city. Any wait to see what’s next, developers need to concentrate on an inventory bag where we can place buildings not used or decor in order for us to move buildings around fast and easierDanielsings1234
