VR Rome

plays incredibly choppy. please optimize better. inexcusable

VR Rome is a very interesting experience. I had a good time walking around and seeing the designs, city layout and structure size. A lot of work has gone into the models and the notes about different buildings iare interesting. This is a good simulator for people who like design and history. There are many details and it really shows that this is a passion project; I hope it grows into a very real back in time Rome experience. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I already owned the Rome Reborn apps and separately they might have more accuracy. But I have been looking for a way to walk through Ancient Rome in VR. Those other apps don't let you do that, you're trapped in a few select spots and get to look around. You set me free. By means of teleporting a few meters at a time I get to move around large parts of the city. You can see and feel how large things were or how far they were apart. It became much more clear how most people lived in their apartments and what their surroundings were like. This is almost everything I wanted Rome Reborn to be. I saw a few people complain about the graphics... Sure this is not a big budget game with ray tracing, nor is it intended to be. But it accomplishes it goals. My biggest wish here would be to let me walk as well as teleport, and also to have the option to turn with my controller instead of only my head. I'm thrilled with this app! 9/10

I find the lack rotation with joystick capability to be a mockery of the players. I'm bringing back vr-games like this. Though the game is interesting - refund.

A must for all fans of roman antiquity, like myself. I've read countless books on roman history, and also on the history of the city of Rome itself. The simulation is set in Rome of the year 320 AD, when Rome had reached its zenith with regard to buildings. At that time, it was basically become complete, and had all the buildings we know today. Maxentius and Constantine added the last buildings during that time. Not long afterwards, 100 years later, the decline began, and all those wonderful monuments were lost. But fortunately we can now experience them in VR! Ok, the simulation has some technical issues, I'd say that it is quite hardware intensive for one. Everything runs smoothly on my rig, except for this game on highest settings. And the graphics could be better. But honestly, I don't care so much, because walking around, exploring, reading about the history of the different buildings, marvelling at the sheer size of them, is just an impressive experience, so that I forget the technical issues. I can absolutely recommend this game to any fan of Rome or roman history.

Great experience! Developer did a great job in trying to bring the feel and vibe of Ancient Rome. No free walking and there aren't any life scenes but building ambiance is great. Worth it for any ancient Rome enthusiasts!

Una mierda

A nice program if you're interested in Rome and all things Roman. However, I feel that its' not optimized very well resulting in low frame rates for most of the time on my system (i7-2600, GTX 1070 6Gb ram - on the HTC Vive). When I upgrade my processor maybe the frame rates will get higher than 15fps in the majority of areas. I'm still going to recommend this program though as I think the author needs encouragement to come back and polish it a bit more. Edit: After two years in 2021 I upgraded by PC for an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and an RTX3070 and yes, surprise, surprise the frame rates are up and running smoothly.

I was excited to find an app to show some detail of Rome in the past, with all of its buildings and glory. Well... this app really needs more work. The graphics are very poorly optimized and run poorly on my system, causing jitter and loss of controller tracking within about 15 seconds. What very little I could see looks promising. This is definitely a labor of love. It just needs much much more work. Not worth the price even if it were half what I paid.

Sorry to say, but the quality of this game is really bad. I'm happy that they reconstructed classical Rome, but the graphics are pretty horrible, there's an annoying pigeon chirping the ENTIRE time, you can't turn around with the controller, it's just overall not good, which is too bad because I was excited to see Rome in VR. There are some information tablets about the buildings and you can view the 3D models of the buildings.
