    Imho one of the best city-builders on the market...just perfect to relax after a long day of work...which is right now.

    There's nothing particularly innovative or exciting about this game. I'm a big fan of city-builders but this does nothing to improve on what's already out there, and in many ways is actually worse. At best, it feels like I

    The game's basic funda is city building as defined by the tag line. It covers all the part from the game CIV CITY ROME, with a touch of SIM CITY. Its value is in Graphics, AI system, and game mechanics or interface. Enjoyed Playing it.

    Great to relax with, lay out your city so it is functional and watch it grow. Challenge is not over the top, but just plain fun.

    The level of historical detail on offer will be enviable to even the more established franchises, and whilst Imperium doesn't do anything to reinvent the genre as a whole, it's certainly a well-refined product that's worth a look to veteran players; or particularly those of you jumping in for the first time. Solid, if unspectacular then.

    Imperium Romanum is fun, but it could have been so much better. There is no story to connect the varied missions -- that causes the game to feel lifeless and shallow. It's a shame, because it looks beautiful and is full of ideas, but fails in vital areas.

    If you can turn a blind eye to the ropey skirmishes, you'll be in for weeks of city building goodness. [Apr 2006, p.85]
