Blocks!: Julius Caesar

Please don't waste your money, the game is incomplete and abandoned by the developers and publishers. Check out the discussions

Just bought this unfortunately without reading many of the reviews, intention was to play against my friend online, but the bugs in the combat phase cause the game to crash and happen frequently enough to make it difficult to commit to trying to play PvP. Also as has been previously pointed out the AI is particularly weak and does not provide much of a challenge. I hope patches will be forthcoming as I would really like to play and enjoy this game, but in it's present state it is very disapointing

There are bugs to this game and they don't seem to be fixing them. I stopped buying "Blocks" games because of this game.

Developer appears to have given up on the block games (or at least gone silent for far too long). Was waiting for fixes that will apparently never happen.

I wrote a review for the others, so not much more to say as its the same engine. Same poor ai, same issues and bugs. Games have been abandoned for months with no new word from devs. Its rare I am this negative about a game. But DO NOT BUY THIS. Stick with the boardgame. I'd also caution about buying other Avalon Digital titles. My experience of their kickstarters, early access and essentially lack of development really shows they need to get their act together. A lot of wasted potential here.

Based on actual PvP "game play" and review of forum responses by the developers, I do not recommend this game. It has some value as a solitaire version of a great board game, it is not worth $25. I, personally, will not buy or recommend any of Avalon Digital's versions of great Columbia games until this one works PvP online as represented

Can you believe the AI is so poor that it vacates Rome allowing it to be captured? Sheesh! This game's AI is just as bad as Richard III. I wish I could get back my nine dollars and change.

Unfinished and abandoned.

The game is not ready for prime time.

You have to understand, this is a serious wargame. You put your hand on a piece, you move it -- like chess. You have to think through your moves. Now there's a slight glitch in the way the game plays, so this is a fair warning. When you move a group into a territory to attack, all the units coming down one road have to be selected together, otherwise, if you send them in one at a time, one will attack in round one and the rest will arrive as reserves. For those who know this game, that's not right. You just have to remember to group your units to avoid the glitch. I know they're all coming down the same road, but the program cannot tell unless you move them together, as a group. Okay. Do that and everything works great. Perfect. Just like the game. It's a class game, by the way. You gotta love it.
