Citadelum

👍 Recommended Citadelum is probably the closest I've felt to playing the old Caesar games again. From the moment I started building my first settlement, the visuals, atmosphere, and overall design immediately reminded me of those classic Roman city-builders that many of us grew up with. The campaign is enjoyable and does a good job of introducing the game's mechanics while giving you clear goals to work toward. The soundtrack is pleasant and fits the setting well, although after many hours you will notice that it can become somewhat repetitive due to its limited variety. What Citadelum does exceptionally well is accessibility. It isn't overly complicated or difficult to learn, yet it still provides enough depth to keep you engaged for long play sessions. I've often found myself saying "just one more thing" and suddenly another couple of hours have passed. That said, the game isn't perfect. As your city grows, some of the management mechanics can start feeling a bit tedious. I would have liked larger service coverage areas for buildings such as firefighters and maintenance services, as managing these can become more micromanagement-heavy than necessary. The gameplay loop can also become repetitive after extended sessions, and some players looking for the challenge and complexity of Caesar III may find Citadelum a little too forgiving. Another good point, would be the gods who can help either punish you! Quite a neat innovation. Combat, well...Its fine really, but the maps one fights in it. Is...Well limited. Still, despite these shortcomings, Citadelum succeeds at what it sets out to do. It's a charming Roman city-builder with beautiful visuals, a relaxing pace, and enough content to keep city-building fans occupied for dozens of hours. If you're nostalgic for Caesar, Pharaoh, or similar classics, this is an easy recommendation. 8/10 – Not revolutionary, but a very enjoyable modern tribute to the classic Roman city-builder game! For those who wanna watch my playtrough, here is a link to the campaign: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBmF7y1jrUATiqSv6ng8gWd-WZqFnsHcz

游戏体验还是很不错的，战斗上也可以看到在两军是怎么交战的很不错，我觉得有几个可以改进的地方，能做出来应该有很多宙斯、龙崛、凯撒的玩家喜欢。 1、不同的建筑外表过于相似，比如一系列菜园，放一起的时候想要找到某一样菜是真的找不到，希望可以改进美术资源，让建筑更多样一点，这一点，居民房也适用，不同等级的居民房希望差异更大一点。同时也可以做一下交互优化，我可以通过点击上中央的资源图标快速找到对应的资源 2、战斗，防守的时候希望可以在定居点部署训练好的军队，而不是仅仅只靠守军作战 3、宙斯一大特色就是一步步建成的圣所，万神之城的神庙有点太单一也太小气了，沦为了学校这类单一的buff建筑，鼠标一点，一拍就结束了，希望可以分阶段提供资源建造，看到神庙建筑的过程，神庙样式也做宏伟一点。哪怕是真实历史，各大神庙也是非常宏伟的建筑。这样神殿建造完成的时候加上收获的强力buff真的就很有成就感。

Great game. for the people who still love the caesar series.

Like this game as its just feels like an updated Imperium Romanum game which loved to build and manage city. Wish it had battles like in that game, but the battle it does have is okay and its great visually. If you like Imperium Romanum, then you will love this.

This is my favourite of this genre so far - my whole life as stopped for this game. I love the quests, the animations, all of it.

Really nice flow, graphics and overall atmosphere. I would like some more research tree options but no big deal. The game is excellent as is

Lots of little annoying things get in the way of any kind of enjoyment from this game. Has a lot of potential, but just missed the mark. If I hear *bong!* one more time I'm going to flip a table.

Pretty sure everyone isn't having this issue but the audio glitches out, stuttering for me pretty bad. Restarting the game fixes it sometimes, but even after the game is closed sometimes my graphics card will crash later in the evening. I'm pretty sure its from this game and probably the same thing that is causing the audio issue. That said, the game is just alright. It doesn't break the mold on the genre or anything. It could use bit more development, but if it hasn't gotten that by now (2 years post-release) I doubt it will.

The veneer does rub off just a little bit if you play for too long, you start to notice the little things that are annoying. The combat is subpar at best (offensively) and yet another "paint your town in white squares" mechanic at worst. Don't let that detract from the fact that this is a competent little city builder with a fun balance for its missions. If you liked the Caesar series, you'll like this one

It's a cozy city builder game reminiscent of Caesar 3 with a sprinkle of Zeus:Master of Olympus
