Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.29/day in the week to Aug 23 → 4.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
As the once-great Roman Empire falls into decadence and decay, you lead a small band of citizens in search of new lands hoping to build Nova Roma – a bastion for all that was once good in the Empire. Starting from a humble village, you must appease the gods with grand temples, sate your citizens’ many needs, and build a society that will be the envy of the world for millennia to come.
A wise city planner knows how to harness the world around them. Erect massive dams and aqueducts to control the flow of water as you reshape the land into artificial watersheds and reservoirs, paying close attention to how your actions impact soil fertility, or how a particularly rainy season might flood your city. Seek distant resource deposits and build infrastructure to transport raw materials and processed goods across massive stretches of untamed territory. Will you strike a delicate balance between the growing urban sprawl of your city and the risks of rapid expansion? Or will your hubris risk the wrath of the gods and nature itself?
Contend with a growing list of needs and desires as more people flock to your city – from pottery and wine to bread and games, it is your responsibility to keep the people happy and safe. Watch them grow into artisans, gladiators and thespians, and guide them through life as they spend their days toiling, and their nights enjoying the fruits of their labor.
As you consider matters of taxation and technological advancement, do not forget the powers that stand above you - build grand temples to the gods, avoiding their wrath and seeking their blessings to bolster your capabilities and ensure the continued prosperity of Nova Roma.
Featuring intricate water and weather simulations and the ever-present threat of divine intervention, Nova Roma explores the cultural, and social trials of the era. Take charge of your small Roman town and grow it into a bustling metropolis that will stand the test of time!

This is a fun, chilled out city builder in a ‘roman empire’ skin. It captures a lot of the 4X fun in a distilled way with: * a light threat of war * culture/production challenges with the Gods * an economic aspect I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Civ or Factorio, but does not want to waste a month of their life vs. a few hours of an evening. Not a lot of depth or particularly unfair/hard to lose; which is kinda nice.
Can confirm: was not built in a day.

He is a producer I already admire greatly and I have met him in person I wish him continued success
I loved kingdoms and castles and love this one
its fun, it burns time but in a good way.
游戏很不错，属实让我当了一回精神罗马人，但是能不能把房屋建造时的倾斜角关了，至少让有强迫症的玩家能选择是否能关闭，看起来真心难受 The game is pretty good, it made me feel like a mental Roman for a while, but can you turn off the tilt angle when building houses? At least let players with OCD choose whether to disable it, because it really looks uncomfortable.
the first time i open the game i just spend over 10 hours straight non stop. i could not feel the time passing. i loved it. the game design is super cool and the sound effects are perfect. the gameplay the creative ideas inside this game is really fun. the multi-layer system. whether you want to chill. or you want intense focus mode both are available in this game. i would love this game to have continuous creative updates and content. i need more. highly recommend it.
夯
Nice game. Loved the water management system. Only criticism would be that resources like iron are sometimes scarce or too far spread out in the map. But that also adds to the natural flow of expansion. Looking forward to the future updates!
this is a great game i would recommend this to literally anyone even if u don't like this genre BUT in MY option kingdoms and castles is still better but either way imma put many more hours into this game and you should too
