Overall this game doesn't have much depth. You create a bakery when your people are hungry, you create a fire station to put out fires; control is dumbed down but for that reason it's very easy to pick up and play. But with limited offerings as a city building game, and very little to master as a strategy game, it's highly likely that fans of similar games will find this to be too simple, too repetitive and "too Romany.

Imperium Romanum is a real time strategy game set in, you've guessed it, the era of the Roman Empire. It's the usual build your city affair with houses, military buildings, buildings for food, etc. Then you have to defend it against attacks, generate money and keep your people happy – pretty much the same as every other RTS then? Well, not really.
