### 3/5 — Nettes Spiel - aber …

*2025-01-26*

Das Spiel macht eigentlich Spaß. Jedoch stürzt es immer wieder mal ab. Bei den Gebäuden, bei denen man eine Auswahl hat, entsteht in ca. 30% das falsche Gebäude, obwohl das richtige ausgewählt wurde. Und, wie auch andere schon beschrieben haben, in einem Level kann das erforderliche Bootshaus nicht erstellt und somit der Level nicht abgeschlossen werden. Schade!

### 2/5 — Glitch in level 5

*2024-09-24*

I am glad that it happened before I bought the game. It would not let me capture the third flag located on the lower right section of the screen.

### 2/5 — Barely useable

*2023-01-16*

If you exit the app and come back, it's frozen. You have to force-quit and restart. 

The app will crash randomly while playing. 

Mostly fun game otherwise.

### 2/5 — Bug niveau 22

*2022-01-28*

Je suis bloqué au niveau 22 ! Et le plus désolant c’est que quelqu’un en avait déjà parlé il y a 2 ans !
Pas très pro comme attitude… voire lamentable. D’autant plus que je l’ai acheté !!
Allez les développeurs, on se réveille !!

### 4/5 — Great game - please make more - and fix the glitches

*2021-09-30, version 1.0.32*

This is one of the best road-building time-management games I have found. I love all of the Hercules and My Kingdom games and this one is the same style of thing. Some levels are very challenging and require several attempts. I can play it a few times through as different players before getting too familiar with it, so it is good value. I hope there are many more to come in this series. There are a few glitches that need to be fixed - sometimes the wrong building gets built, e.g. there is a site that has a banner indicating that only a farm can be built there, but when I tap on it a sawmill appears. Or vice versa. It doesn’t seem to happen with the other building types, mainly the farm and sawmill. The game also crashes occasionally, but fortunately not too often.

### 4/5 — Inzwischen schönes Spiel

*2021-08-19*

Schönes Spiel aus der Roads Of Rome Reihe in derselben Machart. Wem die ersten Teile gefallen, liegt auch hier richtig.

Früher hatte ich ziemliche Probleme mit diesem Spiel. Es lief nur sehr ruckelig, das konnte aber auch an meinem alten iPad2 liegen. Mit ios11 läuft das Spiel problemlos und macht viel Spaß. Vor allem die Suche nach den versteckten Schätzen macht die Sache extra spannend.

Allerdings werden immer noch ab und zu falsche Gebäude gebaut, zum Teil sogar solche, die gar nicht (mehr) zur Verfügung stehen. Außerdem stürzt das Spiel immer wieder mal plötzlich ab. Das alles ist nervig und sollte unbedingt gefixt werden. Zudem ist das Spiel mit 7 Euro zu teuer. Es gibt allerdings die Möglichkeit, neue Levels durch das Ansehen von Werbung freizuschalten. Braucht halt Geduld.

Ein Tipp noch: wenn das Lagerhaus gebaut wird, erhöhen sich die Maximalwerte für die Ressourcen für jede gebaute Stufe.

Alles in allem empfehlenswert. Wenn die Bugs gefixt werden, gibt es auch den fünften Stern.

Update 08/21: bereits vor zwei Jahren hieß es, die Fehler würden gefixt werden. Momentan spiele ich das Spiel nochmal durch und es ist nichts passiert. Es werden immer noch falsche Gebäude gebaut. Beispiel: in einem Level muss ich irgendwann meine Fischerhütte einreißen und ein Bootshaus bauen. Obwohl ich immer Bootshaus anklickte, wurde fünf (!) Mal wieder die Fischerhütte gebaut, die ich dann wieder einreißen musste. Auch passiert es immer noch, das das Bootshaus im Bau steckenbleibt und dann geht gar nichts mehr, außer abbrechen, neu anfangen und darauf hoffen, dass es im nächsten Durchgang funktioniert. Wirklich eine schwache Leistung von Qumaron!

**Developer response:** Thank you for feedback

### 1/5 — Do not buy!  Shuts down after level 12!!!!

*2021-08-08*

I loved the previous versions of this game, but do not buy this one!!!  On level 13, it either doesn’t allow you to build the boathouse, finish the road, or the app shuts down completely.  Ridiculous waste of money!!!!!

### 1/5 — Wow

*2021-07-01*

Just gonna say that after looking through all the reviews I figured by now they’d have fixed all the glitches. I’ve played all the Roads of Rome games from way back when we all had desk top computers. I loved the challenge of them. I decided to give this new generation a try and purchased the full version for $6. Not a bad price for some fun entertainment. However when I purchase a game for ANY amt, I expect it to work properly. This game starts out ok…although it seems to have some lag in the actions of the little Romans, I was still able to finish the first 16 levels on time. When I got to level 17, I started playing and half way through it booted me off and I lost all of my progress. I decided to give it another try and started over again and the same thing happened. This is unacceptable!!! Again if I’m paying hard earned cash for a product, I expect it to meet my needs, if it doesn’t, I expect a full refund! People…don’t waste your hard earned money on this game unless you enjoy purchasing defective junk.

### 1/5 — 22 уровень так и не исправили!

*2021-06-22, version 1.0.32*

За два года так и не выпустили версии обновления с исправленным 22 уровнем. 
И такие косяки почти в каждой игре от этого разработчика. Странный подход

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2021-05-25, version 1.0.32*

I enjoy this game when it lets me play, but more often than not the ads freeze and the only option is to quit the game and try again. Then the ad freezes again...

### 3/5 — Fehler Level 25

*2021-05-25*

Ich habe auch die Vollversion und ebenfalls das Problem mit dem Fischerboot in Level 25. Es lässt sich nicht bauen und hängt, man kommt also nicht zum Diamantenfelsen. Also keine Möglichkeit das Spiel weiterzuspielen. Wenn das behoben, gibt’s 5 Sterne. Das Spiel ist sonst eigentlich klasse! Nur so ist es frustrierend und schade ums Geld.

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2021-04-29, version 1.0.32*

Very annoying so won’t be playing this anymore

### 1/5 — No way of finishing level 25.

*2021-04-17, version 1.0.32*

I reached level 25 and the boathouse that takes me to the island cannot be built. I removed the game and started the whole lot again to no avail. Please help

### 1/5 — Trop de pub

*2021-04-17*

Une pub entre chaque niveau

### 3/5 — Fehler in Level 29

*2021-04-11*

Eigentlich schönes Spiel. Leider stürzt das Spiel immer mal wieder ab und in Level 29 kann der Wagen nicht befüllt werden, da  Maximalwert Holz 600 und Beladung des Wagens 700. Dadurch kann man leider nicht weiterspielen bzw. das Level überhaupt schaffen.

### 1/5 — Stürzt ständig ab

*2026-01-18*

Stürzt ständig ab. Häuser werden falsch gebaut. Was machen die Entwickler des Games den ganzen Tag ?ßß

### 1/5 — Terrible letdown for the series

*2025-11-14*

I have played all the Roads to Rome games in the past and thoroughly enjoyed them so when I saw this one I was excited. The first few levels, the free ones, played fine. The game does take a while to load but other than that I was happy.  Then I bought the game. Starting around level 14 things begin to go haywire. I click to build a sawmill and get a quarry. I click to build a boathouse and get a fisher hut with the food in the middle of the stream - so therefore unattainable.  I put a soldier in a boat to go collect whatever item is across a stream then, the next thing I know, he is boating all around the screen on dry land and doesn’t get out of the boat, so I’m down a guy to help. This game has been out for YEARS. Why are they still selling it if it doesn’t work correctly?  Most of the levels take several minutes to complete so it if VERY FRUSTRATING to invest time playing then have a bug pop up at the end which prevents you from finishing.

### 1/5 — ボーナスステージがクリアできない

*2025-03-14, version 1.0.32*

アプリでは建物を解体することができないためボーナスステージがクリアできない仕様

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-03-19*

Compared to the older versions this one is not good.
Having to choose between two different buildings is ridiculous. Then if you make the wrong one you have to waste time demolishing it and trying to build the correct one. 
Please make a new version that has the elements of the older games and NOT this garbage. Thank you.

### 1/5 — แอพชอบเด้งออกและค้างบ่อย

*2023-02-17, version 1.0.32*

เล่นเกมส์ได้10นาที แอพเด้งออก และค้าง

### 1/5 — Crashes and game isn’t saved

*2023-01-05*

I like the game, but several times lately, when I’m well over half done, the game crashes and it’s saved. No mechanism for recovery, saving game to return later.
I’m done!

### 1/5 — 落ちる

*2022-08-29, version 1.0.32*

広告を閉じると勝手にアプリが落ちる。 再度開かなくてはならないのが面倒。 そしてまた広告を見ないとプレイできない。 未建設の石小屋をタップするも、何故かコインの小屋が建つ。 バナーに描かれた物と別の建物が建つのが謎。

### 1/5 — Do not buy!!!!!!!

*2022-05-31, version 1.0.32*

A great game, but no longer supported by the developers. It is buggy, it will constantly freeze or shut down. I have repeatedly reported the matter as have others and as you can see it has been two years since it was last updated.

### 1/5 — Wish I had listened

*2022-04-17, version 1.0.32*

Where there smoke there’s fire. I ignored the glitches, restarted the game, excused the nonsense until I literally couldn’t advance the game due to glitches. What a lazy wasteful end to a fun franchise. DO NOT BUY.

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2022-04-15*

For a game that costs $6, it is absolutely awful on that it crashes at least once per level. I enjoy it so much for its complexity and the levels, bit the crashing is too much. Can I have my six bucks back?

### 5/5 — How to play the bonus level?

*2024-01-24*

There’s not enough gold to finish the missions on bonus level. Anyone knows how to play? Il n’y a pas assez d’or pour terminer les missions au niveau bonus. Quelqu’un sait jouer ?

### 5/5 — Problem

*2020-04-10, version 1.0.32*

Absolutely love love this game! Can’t wait for 3. Hopefully there is a 3 coming!

### 5/5 — Excellent Time Management Game!

*2019-12-31*

I have no idea why anyone is complaining about glitches. I have played the game through three times and I’m starting on my fourth now. I have not experienced any glitches or problems with the game. It is an excellent installment in the series and I have loved each of them. This one did not disappoint, excellent graphics, play, sound and challenge. I didn't expect anything less. Love them and keep them coming please. Great game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!

### 5/5 — Глючит на 11 уровне

*2019-10-09, version 1.0.31*

На 11 уровне не строится здание лодочника, исправьте пож-та, невозможно пройти уровень
