It never gets old and I like that I can play over and over to beat my times as it keeps the best scores to show you. I just wish their other versions weren’t so hard to play. I would like to see more of these. ### 5/5 — Great game. *2023-04-24, version 1.5.1* Used to play this game on my PC, until it disappeared.

I put the app on an iPad that I brought for mom. She love playing this game she plays it on her PC (no internet). So she can’t go thru the game without having to buy the whole game. Some games allow you to play and earn and/or purchase lives. Not this one. Thank you ### 1/5 — Cradle of Rome. *2018-07-08, version 1.5.1* Purchased years ago for PC. Hate fact that I can play for free but cannot progress past a certain point unless I purchase. DO NOT say it is free when it is not! ### 1/5 — Problem with game *2017-12-23, version 1.5.1* I bought this game ages ago and have played it many times. I love it! However, the last time I downloaded it, it wouldn't let me restore my purchase of the game. It wouldn't even let me buy it again. I am very disappointed and would love to know how this can be fixed. ### 1/5 — Boring *2015-06-13, version 1.4.0* This game gets very repetitive quickly. Not worth the effort. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cradle of ROME *2026-05-24, version 1.5.1* Love this game.
