1. [R4] ROME 2/5 · US Please read: It’s so hard to get the controls down and it is so complicated to start a war. Also when u do start a war u can barely walk. Have to tap were u want to go and as e z as that sounds its not cause the way the u look around is so weird u have to like pinch ur fingers in a weird way. Any ways i DONT recommend this game.
2. [R10] ROME 1/5 · US Original awesome, this one not so much: This game is not manageable in a fun way: on a mobile sized screen, nor within the spans of attention that I as a mobile player can invest in a round of play. The original game was amazing, this was a relatively expensive disappointment.
3. [R16] ROME 2/5 · US Keeps crashing: Love the game . Had it on pc back in the day with all the disks and what not . However I’m in the middle of a campaign on my iPhone and each time I hit the same part the game crashes on me it’s happened 4 days in a row I can’t get past it . Could really used a solution, other then that’s its 5 stars
4. [R63] Supremacy 3/5 · US Unfair gameplay: Nothing ruins a good game like an unbalanced fight. Why am I seeing 48 stack of troops??? How is that even allowed. Nothing can kill it. Day 8 dealing with that. Not even fair. Add a stack limit or something
5. [R22] ROME 1/5 · US Unplayable and Deeply Frustrating UI: I fundamentally don’t understand how the developers thought this was ready to publish. They managed to simultaneously add meaningless features that overcomplicate the campaign view while removing QoL improvements found on the original game. Battles are fought less against the AI and more against the unpredictable and devious machinations of the UI. Sometimes c
6. [R55] ROME 2/5 · US Frustrating: Much more frustrating than PC version. Difficult to control units on battlefield. AI started universal and incessant uprisings in cities when I had conquered most of the Mediterranean…much much more so than in PC version. Unenjoyable experience.
7. [R67] Supremacy 1/5 · US Disappointed: It seems like every day or 2 the game logs me out, this time though it logged me out and seems to have DELETED MY ACCOUNT. This is extremely upsetting as I’ve put money into it and plenty of my time just to have everything deleted and erased.
8. [R19] ROME 1/5 · US Terrible: When I'm in a battle and I close the game, when I log back in, my troops are fleeing with heavy losses or some have disappeared. This sometimes makes me lose battles. Terrible game.
9. [R34] ROME 1/5 · US Annoyed with crashes: I don’t know what it is with this game but the further you get the more likely it is to crash. I’ll be selecting building upgrades on my forty towns and staffing the cities with peasants to stem uprisings and next the next thing I know the app crashes. I go back and re do everything I did (in a different order) that turn.. the app crashes again. Do i dare try a third time wit
10. [R43] ROME 1/5 · US Nonfunctional: Recent update would crash and now I can open app but can’t load a game at all on iPad
11. [R61] Supremacy 1/5 · US Horrible experience: Both me and my brother live in the same household and play this game we were in and next thing I know my account is banned and I get an email saying I accounting which I was not, and this happened directly after I spend 300$ on an ingame purchase In my eyes in a way that is fraud, they make it virtually impossible to appeal or contact customer support
12. [R11] ROME 5/5 · US Best game hands down: Hesitated before but 100% the best thing I ever bought. Well worth the money
13. [R17] ROME 5/5 · US Naval battles could be a great thing in this great game: This is a great game, and if you’re thinking of buying it, it’s worth the price, and there’s a reason why it’s still alive after 20 years. Now, for the reason that I wrote this review: naval battles. Actual naval battles where you can control the ships would make this game even greater. Because naval ships are a very important part of this
14. [R69] Supremacy 3/5 · US Fun but pay to win: It’s a fun game for a couple days and if u play it constantly and perfect there’s ways to win free to play. But it’s glaringly ptw. Your enemy will have 10 units maxed size and damage on day 2
15. [R82] Supremacy 1/5 · US PAY TO WIN: I love this game. I have been playing it straight for a week. But I rly don’t see the point in the game with the gold. The fact you can buy so much gold for 5$. And it gives you such an advantage over the rest of the players. I love this game but I don’t see the point in playing it when some 6 year old kid can win the game just because he is putting money into it. You don’t need skill
