Really fun little game, with a bit of mystery, bit of history, bit of detective work.
A very nice historical recreation, with a well-written, light detective story to move the player through the scene and deliver background facts. While the characters are fictional, the events and people they refer to are real, so players will absorb a great deal of good information in the game’s short run-time, including details such as how legions were granted land, the status of actors and the use of sound in the theatre. If nothing else, I hope that people who play this learn, once and for all, the function of a Roman vomitory. The English translation is quite rough, with many misspellings and odd grammar, so play in French if you are able.

quaint, peaceful, no-stakes game that is very educational and fulfils its goal very well. i'd love for there to be more games like this in the future!
Игра 'Arausio' приятно удивила! Изначально, привлекла необычная и минималистичная графика, которая, на деле, оказалась очень функциональной и атмосферной. Игровой процесс, основанный на построении торговой империи в Древнем Риме, захватывает с первых минут. Сложность возрастает постепенно, давая время освоиться с механиками, но при этом не даёт заскучать. Особенно понравилась система принятия решений, где каждое действие имеет последствия и влияет на развитие не только твоей собственной империи, но и на отношения с другими фракциями. Чувствуется, что разработчики уделили внимание историческим деталям и создали правдоподобный симулятор древнеримской экономики. Некоторые моменты могли бы быть более интуитивными, но это, скорее, придирки. В целом, 'Arausio' - это отличная стратегия, которая способна увлечь на долгие часы. Рекомендую всем любителям экономических стратегий и тем, кто интересуется историей Древнего Рима. Твердая 8/10!
Прикольная игрушка, можно походит поиграть.
Ein kleines Detektiv Spiel für zwischendurch. Hat mir sehr gefallen den Spuren nachzugehen und den Kriminellen zu fassen. Für ein free game 1A!!! LG. smokenate04
Arausio Positives: + Nicely made theater + Some of the facts and pictures + Small puzzles + Quiz and investigations + Tour mode + Its free Negatives: - No voiceover or voiceacting - Not very fun (more like a museum kind of "entertainment") - A lot of information (and half of it is not necessary or interesting) - No jump function - No movement or animations on the characters - Not a lot to explore If you like roman history and museums, play this game. If thats not your cup of tea, then just play something else. Its not a very entertaining game, but its well made regardless. Total Score: 5/10
I loved this so much!!!! Interesting mystery mixed with fact-checked history. The music was good and relaxing. The models of the characters and the art was so pleasant. Now if I can find an RPG game set in Ancient Rome, I would be so happy!
Would be nice if more games like this exist!!Really interesting to walk around the theatre and learn about its history!!!
Très beaux décors, une enquête ni trop simple ni trop compliquée, j'ai appris des choses sur le théâtre romain et passé un moment très sympa à jouer à Arausio.
