Defy the Gods of the Pantheon or follow their will. Become the master of oh so many lives and destiny of so few in this twist to the genre face to face with the old deities.
Build your settlement. Gather and refine resources from forests and quarries, breed animals, grow vegetables, fish and make wine, so you can keep your population healthy and fed. Improve your buildings and ensure water supply with aqueducts. Welcome citizens to your village as artisans, farmers, carpenters... or train them to join your legions in different units. Towers and walls will protect your village from barbarian attacks, while it grows into a magnificent city.
Expand. Explore the world map, free villages under siege and experience the power of the most advanced armies of the era: the legion, engaging in tactical auto-battle combat. Once the territory is secured, you can set trade routes, import exotic resources and scale up your economy. Send out your explorers to find a collection of mythological objects that will help you in your expansion and complete missions for the Senate.
Honour. Rise to the pantheon and gain the favor of the gods. Build temples, make offerings so they will grant you gifts. But beware, because gods behave in a capricious and ruthless manner; worship one of them and you may suffer the wrath of another. Interaction with deities allows a non linear, replayable narrative, full of mythical encounters. Prepare to be amazed when they come down to earth and help you, or tremble with fear if they punish your people.
City Building, evolved. Citadelum presents a unique three layered gameplay, based in city building core mechanics, strategic expansion and commerce, and the role of the gods. You will find different missions, artifacts and challenges in every playthrough.

Caesar III at its best
Caesar III copy, albeit a bit improved. Exactly what I was looking for! + Easy navigation + easy and clear production - Gods' ever-inceasing demands

Great nostalgia trip
If you liked Caesar 3 or similar game this is a good hit of that same stuff, some fun new interfaces with gods that could be further developed and points to some interesting ideas that aren't yet fully developed. It's a bug free game, with a great nostalgia feel in a modern packaging

Introductory, unbalance builder
I enjoyed the premise and nostalgia of this title a lot. It did not have complicated mechanics, and it didn't need them or claim to - it is (was) built around simple city management, a good intro to the genre. The graphics and music are lovely, though the mission design (read: objectives) feel performative as each mission plays out the same. The gods mechanics is interesting, but unbalance - unlike Pharoah, you need to satisfy them all quickly or a vicious cycle of setbacks starts hampering your gameplay. I initially would have given it 4/5 stars for its generally quite good satisfaction, but the most recent DLC/update broke the economy. It feels too difficult, if not impossible, to satisfy the base needs of your city, especially the gods; money is the problem. You don't start with enough to build the basic supply chains needed to satisfy piety and defence without running out. The income from "patricians" (taxpayers) is too slow to meet the demand. Gave up on the expansions, but the base game is still recommended.

Back to childhood with "Ceasar"
As many have noted, this game feels like a modernized version of Caesar III, and I couldn't agree more! I absolutely love the battle maps, which were missing in Caesar III. While there are a few glitches or maybe some unfinished elements, don’t worry—it’s still a solid five-star experience! I’m just two missions away from finishing the game. I wish it were a bit more challenging but I guess that's just me. This game took me back to my childhood when I was experimenting with Caesar III and fell in love with it. All the memories and good feelings came back, and I enjoyed several sleepless nights playing it no regrets at all! If there’s ever an extension, I’m definitely buying it.

Nice, relaxing builder
Nice builder, especially if you love the theme. It's an original game, with lots to manage. The battle part is very simple but serves a purpose.
