Cradle of Rome

It is addictive.

Ya después de 23 horas de juego se cierra solito y ya no puedes acceder mas.

One of the classic match 3 originals. This the sound track does something crazy to my brain, like the tracks are audio drugs in a good way. The UI is dated now with the low resolutions, but no matter, this is a classic either way and inspired many future match 3 games. Recommended YAS

Bonne dose de difficulté, belle progression vers la finale. J'y ai joué il y a longtemps et j'y rejoue de temps en temps.

Une honte. Trois heures de jeu et désinstallé, exaspération à son comble Dix euros pour un vieux truc injouable, et j'adore les match3. (les heures jouées affichées ne tiennent pas compte des heures jouées hors connexion)

This is an old game that's easy and mindless. There's enough time on the clock to really work towards matches . Nostalgic.

Very mind enhancing game. Puzzles to be solved and I enjoy playing the game.

Everyone and their mom (specially them) know this game. We all played it when it was available elsewhere and now it lies here, on Steam, as basic as it was back then, but just as charming. Its a simple match 3 game with the bonus of powerups and a story to follow where you build the city of Rome from the ground up. All the pieces have some meaning or usefulness at least past the first few levels, the two coin tiles give you gold while food and wood are stockpiled each time you match them too. Power ups vary though each level but it usually one or two of them at most, although stored ones can be used in later levels if you want to, but its best to save them if you feel you can complete the levels without. They are also obtained though matching 3 once you unlock the corresponding building. Speaking of buildings, while some are more useful than others, a good chunk of them give you bonuses and you can unlock peasants if you try hard enough which will usually give you bonus of the resource it produces (ex: 200 extra food per level completed). The game is finite, so there is in fact an ending, i never got there but i know it exists. It was just too hard for my child version to get there. After that, there isnt much replayability unless you want to relax a bit, but games like Suma are probably better suited for that. Still, not a bad game, not even one that has aged too poorly. Score 7/10
