Rise of the Roman Empire Reviews

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.

So in the last update they completely removed the ability to progress in the game organically.

I don’t know who designed this, but having production buildings get less proportionally efficient seems like an odd thought. Battle outcomes make no sense considering the stats given. I’m not even mentioning the obscenely long wait times. It’s clearly designed to extract money in exchange for even a little bit of game play....except the game play is frustrating and makes no sense half the time. Whoever wrote the copy for in game pop ups needs to take remedial English. (negotiations. Not negitations.) Awful, awful game. It actually makes me sad that this got published at all.

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.
Terrible Terrible Terrible

There are no longer any updates even though developer continues to cram money offers into our faces every time we log in or play. There is no balance between resources which screams simple laziness on part of developer and those who developed game. Every time you upgrade you get less resources rather than more which makes no sense. Do notdownload out of date game.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!!!I downloaded this a month ago and was totally addicted. However, I am now hitting a wall because it is so expensive in gold and food to progress that the game has now become frustrating. It’s ridiculous that the buildings cannot hold more than one hours gold. Then, one day I log on and my city is suddenly gone! I emailed customer service and have not heard back for three weeks. Suddenly they “close”my support request without resolving anything. This game and its developers are a pure scam.

So this game is pretty good but all of these improvements it means oh I just hate when it doesn’t have all these improvements you have to you literally have to spend 200 diamonds to conquer somewhere and it’s so hard to get power I mean, like really hard to build stuff it’s not like a game that I have for rise of kingdoms. It’s pretty easy to get loot. It’s really easy to get loot and run the kingdom this game. It’s so hard to get loot. I mean like it’s so horrible and it’s so hard to attack peopleand I mean like people this is like kids this is kids and I mean it’s just so stupid and the kids can’t pay money. Parents have to do it and all and you so so so so so so so hard to get money I mean I mean like it’s so dumb. Why would you download this game so do not download this game? OK do not

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, uninstalled

Too easy to get the “sell” button when attempting to place an order, and the money has to be collected all the time, it doesn’t accumulate while you are away from the game.
Painful having to have paths built to allow buildings to be placed, takes up space that could be used for buildings.

Some kind of bug were the game rebooted on me twice , wiping out all of my progress . The second time I sunk 20 into it for a fresh start . Enjoyable game otherwise , slow paced with a lot of planning & strategy.

I’ve been playing this game for 2 or 3 months now. I think it’s a fun little game. However I wish the land expansions were bigger or more frequent. There were times I couldn’t upgrade because I didn’t have enough people. I didn’t have land to build more houses. So I had to sell a building I needed to build a house to get more people.

I wish there were more info on the heroes. I don’t know what a AP is what to do with them. Yes the “heroes” need work. When they get surrounded they just stand there and get beat up or killed

I like this game. Just needs some more work

Instead of fighting Roman soldiers in the map mode it should be barbarians and every section should be a different tribe like the Gaul in one Britannia in another and others unless you are going for the Roman civil war

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.

... many moons ago called Cesar. I got my partner to download last night as well and we are both enjoying the strategy and time management aspects of the game. I also really like that I am not forced to join some kind of clan (so far, anyway). I am looking forward to where the game goes from here. Decent job on the conversion from a PC came of the EARLY 2000’s to one that fits our electronic devices of today. Thank you for your efforts in doing so.
I shall revisit my rating after playing for a bit - hope it goes up to a 5star and not down, lol.

I really like that this game can be played well, long-term, and without necessitating in-app purchases. Gems are fun and speed things up but not requited to keep playing. I am almost to Senate level 7, have been playing for a few months, and have only spent $1.99 in RiseoftheRomanEmpire . One feature I am desperate for is a way to store all buildings and roads/features so I can play with my city’s design. That is probably 70% of why I love city-builders and it’s essentially impossible to do in this game. PLEASE, game devs, let us store and re-place our buildings and things!

I have finished the last 12th era and started working on monuments. I have no chance to either buy or get any land extension to be able to expand my city which is so sad and frustrating . Do you think about adding more land extensions to players like myself?

I loveeeee new constructor feature! It’s fantastic. My city finally look like I want it to be and I am able to use every single spot to increase my power. I also like new battles with a participation of all clan members. It’s cool. I love graphics with cute little details and animations of all buildings but I really regret I can’t use all those beautiful decorations because by using the ones with a low power and low culture level decreases my power which I’m not willing to sacrifice and because of the land extensions shortage I’m no able to build them. I wouldn’t mind buying the land so please at least consider to offer the extensions at the store.
Do you have a date when a new era would be available?

I really enjoy this game, it reminds me times when I played Pharaoh and Caesar games on computer, I appreciate your effort to develop new features and uplift players experience and fun while playing it. Can’t wait to see what’s coming 😀

Flexible game- play as little or as much as you have time available. I’ve got through chemo with this game, it was a breeze. There is a few different directions you may choose, it is fun to figure it out and find your own way.

This is a great game but i feel like everything keep staying same.
1)When we update senate I want the castle to look different.
2)When we change era I want everything to look different or upgraded version.
3)I think developers should calculate how much dimond is needed instead of coin. Player will never have that type of dimond.
4)Make more ways to make diamonds.

Love the game but with above kind of changes more people would be tempting to play.

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 easier

It is an amazing game if you enjoy a excellent strategy game that requires you to prioritize and manage scarce resources... I am truly enjoying and not spending any money... perfect if you can only play 1 or 2 hours total a day...

Training units beyond their default health, when you auto battle and the unit takes more damage than the default health and have something like 2/10 heath left, they are counted as dead and not injured. Really annoying to spend time and money training units to be better only for them to die. Still a fun game
