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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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!

İyi.
Ottimo proseguo da Kingdoms and Castles, che già era un ottimo gioco. Ogni tanto c'è qualche piccolo bug e manca ancora qualcosina al gioco ma è normale visto che è uscito da poco.
我不懂 明明細節沒要修改 為何還有人推薦?????? 我光是水資源運送就搞得很煩..

Love it
This game has solid bones at this state in development. Definitely needs some polish and balancing in early access, but the mechanics are there and solid. I've done a single island and multiple island, both with invasions on and off. Once you get a city stable, it'll pretty much run itself with little fanfare. Nothing overly critical at this point - developers definitely have a love for classic city builders and it shows. Beautiful game.
City builders seem to be a dime a dozen these days, and although I think that's a very good thing for management/sim lovers such as myself, it can be hard to bring yourself to buy/play yet another one, when everyone already has "their favorite," the game they keep going back to when all else fails (for me it's still Banished even to this day, that game just does something for me.) So looking at Nova Roma, you may wonder, "why this one?" Well, for me it's the Roman setting and simple yet pleasant graphics that made me finally decide to pick it up. The thoughtful city-building and logistics mechanics are what convinced me to stay. I find the game really pleasantly addictive to play. It's challenging without being absurd and deep without being overwhelming. I haven't played very much but I can see myself getting sucked in for a long time to come.
PEAK
Super fun its a city management game with roman aspects similar to diplomacy is not an option but functionally much different game play. If you like management and some combat (needs improvement but the system still has interesting mechanics) this game is perfect. + devs seem to keep working on it so thats kewl :3
game has a good foundation but due to nature of early access its have some problems may biggest problem with game is gods they dont do much anything (i only find vulcan useful and little neptun) and they demand lot of things constructing big temples on small islands is a hassle and take so much space my second problem is terraforming around rocks/deposits i am sure they will implement some kind of removal tool for this moving to my nitpicks lack of stairs bridges not connecting with roads not a way to deal with early deaths lack of big quarries and mines
