Pax Romana: Romulus

ENG - I'm enjoying the game. I've been spending a few hours having fun with it, even though it's repetitive. But the fact that it is repetitive is precisely what causes immersion, as the game reproduces the routine of a farmer, collector, fisherman, woodcutter, bricklayer, blacksmith and dealer, along with a plot that involves politics and mysticism. It is a mixture of Harvest Moon and classic RPG's. I loved it! PT-BR - Estou gostando do jogo. Tenho gastado algumas horas me divertindo com ele, ainda que seja repetitivo. Mas o fato de ser repetitivo é justamente o que causa a imersão, pois o jogo reproduz a rotina de um fazendeiro, coletor, pescador, lenhador, pedreiro, ferreiro e negociante, juntamente com uma trama que envolve política e misticismo. É uma mistura de Harvest Moon com RPG's clássicos. Eu amei isso!

RPG Maker strikes again! Pax Romana: Romulus is abandoned Early Access... it's one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. The game was abandoned roughly one year after launch and hasn't been updated in about 2 years. It blew past the developers commitment to complete the game without any notification or admission of failure from the developer. Notably the developer here couldn't work out how to use RPG Maker to make an RPG... and that's the only thing RPG Maker can do properly... except it's not even very good for making RPGs. Instead, we have an ultra dumbed down "farming sim" where you "harvest" things and use them to construct things to decorate your farm... that's really about all there is to it. Perhaps the developers were trying to use RPG Maker to make a ripoff of Stardew Valley... who knows? It failed. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. Gamers who want a good retro JRPG farming experience would be better off just playing Stardew Valley. Unethically, the developer sold keys to this abandoned Early Access game into cheap, nasty game bundles, where they knew it would be advertised and sold as a complete game. This seems to have been done in an attempt to mislead gamers into buying a knowingly faulty, defective and incomplete product. When a developer does this for a game they have zero practical intention of completing, this is essentially a scam, an intention to get paid for a broken/unfinished product. Often this is done as an exit strategy, as the developer takes the money and runs. No refunds have been given, the developer kept all the money they took from gamers. Pax Romana: Romulus has the greedy, cash grab price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the abandoned state of the game and the questionable behaviour of the developer in not finishing the game or offering refunds.

Didn't think I was going to actually like this. It honestly is like Harvest Moon but with less features. I'm sure they are working on getting more implemented into the game but for now it feels like all you do is just gather quests. Of course you can grow crops and feed animals but other than that farm isn't too much, it is mostly gather this item for this quest continue to next area.

I really like the concept of this game and I think it can grow to become great. But the risk/reward aspect is broken. More importantly, the effort/reward aspect is broken. The game has a lot of potential. There are a lot of unnecessary actions/clicks forced on the player due to the limitations of gamemaker. This game does not reward ANY of the standard gamer types - Highly impatient, Impatient, Easy going, Lazy, Lazy as Fk. These types of games will succeed only if the game rewards all the gamer types in some way. It is possible to pull off but requires a lot of thought. What's up with the farm animals coming in the way while you farm? That's just sadistic by the developers. At least give the option to shoot them. I will post a more detailed thread under discussions.

Türk yapımı diye aldık. Türkçe dil desteğini kaldırdılar. 1 yıl geçti hala da tekrar koymadılar.

a good start hope it gets even better.

Çok tatlı bir oyun özellikle müzikleri çok hoşuma gidiyor. Hikayesi ilgimi çekti kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

oyun gayet hoş, şirin bir havası ve güzel bir senaryosu mevcut fakat erken erişimde olduğu için olsa olacak bazı ufak tefek can sıkıcı şeyler olabiliyor. örneğin portus cale'da girmiş olduğum bir demircide dolanırken zannediyorum kodların arasında hapis kaldım :D ve ne yaptımsa sıkıştığım yerden çıkamadım oyundan çıktım artık ne yapayım. bunun gibi ufak tefek şeyler haricinde her şey yolunda gözüküyor, oynamaya devam edeceğimi umuyorum. müzikleri de gayet güzel daha çeşitlenirse daha da güzel olacaktır. benim eyyorlamam bu kadar.

You can't change the size of the screen or zoom the map and I feel like I'm seeing ants. Also, the game is very laggy and even though my computer is very basic, It can run games with much better graphics than this, like Graveyard Keeper, Stardew Valley, Moonlighter, etc. It's a 2D game and considering the visual of it, I never expected to be facing problems with fps. I played for 15 minutes and it was frustrating.

It's a fun game, can't say it's one of those that will get you hooked for hours and hours long during the week, because it's not. It's one of those games that you play when you have nothing much to do and not willing to think much. Graphics: it's an RPG Maker game, doesn't expect much for graphics, but if you like pixel style (like I do) you'll enjoy it and think it's pretty enough. Gameplay: once again, it's an RPG Maker game, so for real, it's playable, but doesn't expect much, most of the time it barely has animations or nearly complex animations for actions and stuff. The building system is extremely simple and the farming and crafting systems are complete enough to be playable and enjoyable, it's not a GOTY-like game, but sure has its own charm. Story: I'll be blatantly honest here, I've been playing for 12h now and I couldn't care less for the story, it might be somehow fun, but I didn't feel it catching my eyes so far, so I really didn't went much deep into it. Maybe in the future I update that review with a more solid opinion. General Considerations: it's a fun past-time game, not so expensive and not so effortful to either understand or play, but it's indeed slow.
