For the record, I am not a prudish person, nor am I ignorant of the kind of things that come up in these games or against the artistic expression of mature content, but after fifteen minutes I found that this was extreme and disgusting. I cannot recommend this game for that reason personally and I want to warn/dissuade others of the extreme content. Incidentally, you can skip the scenes and disable some of the content, but I refuse to own and support the game nevertheless because of its mere inclusion. I can’t actually comment on the gameplay at length, except that it is an RPG-maker style game with a focus on stealth and absence of combat. In this sense, you may find it quite novel. The plot itself, of what I saw of it, was ok in terms of writing.
Despite missing some small mechanics from the other historical city builders by this studio from around this time (Pharaoh, Zeus, Emperor) and having those specific Impressions Games perculiarities, this is a must-play for those who like historical city builders and an absolute gem of a game. Play with the Julius modification for bug-fixes and HD compatibility (in my opinion, a must-have). I have not tried the Augustus mod but that would alos be something to check out. Overall, BUY DIS GAME.
