Oct 15, 2024Citadelum successfully channels the spirit and charm of classic genre entries like Pharaoh and Zeus, bringing this iconic style of city-builder to the modern era, but lacks the variety and content to remain engaging for long. Abylight’s take on this style of game is excellent for those seeking a rush of nostalgia, but merely solid for everyone else.

Oct 17, 2024This is the kind of indie game that I would love to see succeed, and the next steps post-launch, both in terms of ongoing development and community support, will be crucial in determining whether it’s remembered as a Justinian or an Honorius.

Oct 21, 2024If you're extremely hungry for "Caesar-like" city-building strategies, Citadelum will certainly entertain you for a few hours. However, don't expect more than a brief distraction—it's too shallow and underdeveloped for anything beyond that.

Oct 21, 2024Made in Spain, Citadelum is quite conservative and classic, but not without good ideas to create the perfect Roman city. [Recommended]
