Too many steps in each level. Also don’t like timed version, should choice of timed or relaxed. Cradle of Egypt is much better. ### 3/5 — Just me *2023-09-06, version 1.7.1* Very slow to react during and after game play. Doesn’t make for a good score. Good fun. ### 5/5 — Gotta Love this Game! *2023-08-01* I have been playing this game for years and I never tire of it. The original Cradle of Rome probably expired for over -use and I was never able to find it and download it again. Will continue with Cradle of Rome 2. ### 5/5 — Soothing music love it. *2023-07-24, version 1.7.1* Brilliant game, not too challenging but makes you think a little. Kept playing the free trial over & over then decided “bugger it I’ll buy it” glad I did. One downfall is once you start playing you just can’t stop. Would recommend it. ### 5/5 — Calming challenges! *2023-07-18, version 1.7.1* Lovely to find a game that doesn’t get frustrating, but has quality do able challenges! Good mix of puzzles with it. ### 5/5 — Quite addictive *2023-04-26, version 1.7.1* I took to this game very quickly, it’s a gem. ### 5/5 — Love Cradle of Rome 2 *2023-04-06, version 1.7.1* Nice match 3 game. The levels are challenging and winnable. Cradle of Rome 2 is a solid game for passing time. ### 5/5 — Fay…Cradle of Rome *2023-03-31, version 1.7.1* Love this. The icons are big and varied. And the rest ot is great.Infact as good as The Cradle of Rome ### 5/5 — Cradle of Rome *2023-03-30, version 1.7.1* I love both 1 and 2 ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2023-02-20* This game is amazing and can be played with or without wifi. No fees or buying points and you can change players over and over for years of new challenges. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-01-12, version 1.7.1* This game is very relaxing and free. No ads, no buying more coins to play. ### 5/5 — Great Little Game:-) *2023-01-04* This is a very relaxing, enjoyable game…I did wonder why after I had paid $4.99 for the game, I noticed that for $.99 more I could unlock additional levels. But I paid up, as I really like this game. ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2022-11-28, version 1.7.1* Game gets more challenging as you play it. Needs to be an untimed version! ### 5/5 — Love! *2022-11-26, version 1.7.1* So much fun!! ### 5/5 — Great *2022-09-21, version 1.7.1* I have been playing this set of games for many years now and no matter how many times I play I still enjoy them. Please make more of these. ### 5/5 — Cradle of Rome 2 *2022-08-19, version 1.7.1* Brilliant game 100% playable worth the £4.99 . ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2022-08-14, version 1.7.1* Makes you think but relaxing too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great game *2025-08-22, version 1.7.1* I love how I can play for hours and not get bored! ### 1/5 — Limited *2022-02-12, version 1.7.1* Only 15 levels are free? The rest you pay for. Otherwise, game has potential! Nice graphics. But the ads forced on you go directly to chrome to try to get you to download! Needs and unlimited version! ### 1/5 — Cradle of Rome 2 *2021-12-03, version 1.7.1* I’ve played this game for years but, when I got a new iPad it only plays so far and it wants me to buy it. I wrote and explained but cannot jump through the hoops to get it back. Oh well, sad me. ### 1/5 — Need an untimed version *2021-04-24, version 1.7.1* I thought this game would be as exciting as some of the other cradle games, but there is only one version to play and that’s the timed version. It doesn’t work for me at all I really wish I could get my five dollars back. I had a stroke and I’m recovering. I like this type of game but it shuts me out before I can finish. And it shuts me out repeatedly and asks for more money. So if you’re slow at all, at any time, if you’re tired, whatever, you can’t play this game unless you want to spend a lot of money. ### 1/5 — ROSIENA *2017-01-01, version 1.7.0* I downloaded this game in 2012. IT WAS FREE!!!!!! Now it isn't!! Not only that but is asks you to rate the game prior to asking you to pay in order to continue playing. Tisk Tisk Tisk!!!!! ### 1/5 — Cradle of Rome 2 *2015-08-10, version 1.6.0* So I buy the bonus only 1:19 $ not bad ,then comes the kicker it what I've already played,so what's with that? ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2015-06-13, version 1.6.0* This game is rubbish, slow and boring steer clear. ### 1/5 — Cradle of Rome 11 *2013-12-04, version 1.3.5* The above app is stuck in my apps store and I cannot get it off. Please do something about it. ### 1/5 — Your fix didn't work. Rate the Game still there! *2013-10-07, version 1.3* I was so excited to see the update to fix the Rate This Game Issue. I have been waiting for it. Imagine my disappointment when I updated, then went to play the game and Nothing Had Changed! I still can't play this game I paid for because it still wants me to Rate The Game and will not let me rate it, no thanks, or later! How long do we have to wait to be able to play this game?? I powered off my device and that didn't help. ### 1/5 — Annoyed *2013-10-06, version 1.3* I've downloaded this app twice. The rating enquiry appears after finishing first part of game: I'm now a peasant. Can't get any further as the rating window DOESN'T WORK and won't disappear. So I've deleted the game. Very disappointed.
