About

Twenty years after the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii rises from the ashes. As the head of a Roman family, you will guide the city's rebirth, shaping its future through politics, trade, and the challenges of life in the Empire.

The city may have been destroyed, but its spirit endures. Rebuild Pompeii from the ground up, balancing the needs of patricians, plebeians, and slaves, each with their own ambitions and grudges. Every street, forum, market, and aqueduct shapes not just the city, but the fortunes of your family for centuries to come.

Lead across decades, navigating the shifting tides of Roman politics. Shape laws, negotiate trade rights, and form alliances through marriage or contract. Secure favor with emperors, outwit rivals, and expand your family's influence far beyond Pompeii's walls.

Construct housing, temples, arenas, and more to meet your citizens' needs. Establish trade routes across the Empire, monitor shifting markets, and keep your economy strong. Every decision, good or bad, can echo for generations.

The game incorporates active and passive bonuses through Family Bonuses, Research and Development, and Imperial Privileges. There are two main research branches: Technology and Philosophy.

The greatest threats are not always on the battlefield. Earthquakes, fires, famine, plagues, and political sabotage can strike without warning. Some enemies will wear armor, others will smile as they shake your hand, all will test your leadership.

C'est assez plaisant d'y jouer. Les graphismes sont corrects. Cependant, quelques heures suffiront pour mener une campagne. Le jeu doit donc s(étoffer s'il veut devenir une référence.
The game is not very stable in terms of systems and production. your flush with goods, the population doesnt demand enough what is the point of military?? very unbalanced, needs a lot of love and attention..
Pretty solid - appealing historical city builder. The campagin may be a bit "cheesy". But well done to the devolper!
あまり複雑ではない街づくりが楽しめるが、各建物は時間と共に劣化し、修理をする必要がある。それがとても面倒。なんでこんな仕様にしたのか疑問。 ↑コメント欄で対応策を教えてもらえました。普通に楽しいゲームになりました。

Basically and idle clicker: 1. research 2. place building 3. research 4. place new building infinite loop. If you like clickers - fine, if you want strategic city builder - look elsewhere.
Pompeii: The Legacy, developed and published by Siscia Games, takes a unique approach to the city-building genre by focusing on the rebirth of one of history’s most iconic cities. Instead of placing players in the middle of the catastrophic eruption that destroyed Pompeii, the game explores the years that follow, challenging them to restore the city to prominence within the Roman Empire. This premise gives the experience a refreshing identity and allows it to blend historical themes with deep management mechanics. At its heart, the game is a detailed city-building simulation where every district, road, public structure, and residential area contributes to the growth of the settlement. Players must carefully balance expansion with efficiency, ensuring that citizens have access to housing, services, food, and employment. The Roman setting is more than a visual backdrop, as social classes such as patricians, plebeians, and slaves each influence how the city develops. Their differing needs create a constant challenge, forcing players to think strategically about both prosperity and social order. A standout feature is the family legacy system, which introduces a personal dimension to city management. Rather than acting as a faceless administrator, players guide a Roman household through multiple generations. Political alliances, marriages, influence, and prestige become just as important as constructing buildings. This system gives long-term decisions greater significance and creates a sense of continuity that many traditional city builders lack. Watching a family rise from modest beginnings to a position of power provides a rewarding layer of progression beyond simple economic success. The economic mechanics are equally substantial. Trade plays a central role in the city’s development, with players establishing commercial routes and managing resources across a wider Roman network. Market conditions can shift, requiring careful planning and adaptation. Maintaining a stable economy while expanding infrastructure becomes an engaging balancing act, and the trade system helps keep the gameplay dynamic throughout extended campaigns. There is a satisfying feeling of growth as small production chains evolve into thriving commercial enterprises that support an increasingly complex city. Technology and cultural advancement further enrich the experience. Players can invest in different forms of research that unlock new opportunities and bonuses. These progression systems encourage experimentation and allow cities to develop according to different priorities. Some players may focus on economic optimization, while others may pursue political influence or civic improvements. This flexibility adds replay value and ensures that each playthrough can unfold differently. Visually, Pompeii: The Legacy captures the atmosphere of ancient Rome with impressive attention to detail. The city gradually transforms from a struggling settlement into a bustling urban center filled with recognizable Roman architecture and activity. Buildings, public spaces, and infrastructure all contribute to a convincing sense of place. While the graphics are not designed to compete with the largest modern strategy titles, they effectively support the historical setting and provide a satisfying sense of progression as the city expands. The political elements add another layer of depth. Players are not only responsible for construction and trade but must also navigate relationships, secure privileges, and manage influence within the broader structure of the empire. These mechanics help the game feel like more than a standard city builder, creating a stronger connection between local development and larger regional ambitions. Success often depends on making smart political decisions as much as efficient economic ones. The game’s ambition can occasionally work against it. New players may find the number of interconnected systems intimidating during the opening hours, and the learning curve can be steeper than expected. Some interface elements require patience to master, particularly when dealing with the more advanced political and economic mechanics. However, players willing to invest time in understanding these systems will discover a rewarding and layered strategy experience. Pompeii: The Legacy succeeds because it combines historical authenticity, city planning, family management, politics, and commerce into a cohesive package. The concept of rebuilding a legendary city gives the game a strong sense of purpose, while the variety of interconnected mechanics ensures there is always another challenge to tackle. It is a thoughtful and engaging strategy title that offers far more depth than its historical premise might initially suggest. For fans of city-building and historical management games, Pompeii: The Legacy delivers a rich and immersive experience that successfully transforms the reconstruction of an ancient city into a compelling long-term strategy adventure. Rating: 8/10
米多了加水,水多了加米,游戏内容过于枯燥无味。
Firstly, I’d like to give kudos to the solo developer who put this out. I think city building is my favorite genre, yet I’ve been jumping from game to game without sticking to any of them. I’ve been hooked up on Pompeii The Legacy since I bought it. It’s pretty chill, the gameplay loop has kept me engaged. I don’t have much time for games nowadays and that’s pretty much what I would expect from a good catch. Plus the whole Rome setting (although corny) is pretty entertaining. To mention a small grip I have with the game, I feel like the Research Tree system is a bit underused and maybe pointless? At one point I am simply randomly upgrading stuff because they go by so quick that It doesn’t really matter what I prioritize.
