  • Deep and complex gameplay systems appealing to fans of history and grand strategy, with strong potential for growth and content expansion.
  • Current UI is confusing, overly complex, and lacks helpful tutorials, making the learning curve steep and gameplay sometimes overwhelming.

  • optimization
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Optimization reviews are mixed, with several users initially experiencing severe performance issues and stuttering, especially at higher speeds, alongside crashes and laggy UI. However, many note that recent updates have significantly improved stability and performance, making the game more playable, though some UI elements still feel awkward or underpolished. Overall, optimization has improved but could benefit from further refinement.

    • “After reading some other reviews I was a little skeptical of the performance and bugs, but really sinking my teeth into this game was one of the best decisions I've recently made!”
    • “Looks like performance issues got fixed.”
    • “I've had no performance issues playing on laptop with Ryzen 8845HS.”
    • “The performance is terrible, and the UI, most of which doesn’t seem to work, is laggy and convoluted.”
    • “Performance at higher speeds drops off a little bit and the game starts stuttering.”
    • “The game also needs to improve its performance since it crashed 3-4 times for me.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a compelling and challenging experience centered on managing a declining empire, with well-balanced mechanics that punish overly aggressive strategies and capture the feeling of a fall. It features interesting and diverse ideas that provide a fresh change from similar grand strategy games, though some quality of life improvements could enhance the experience. Overall, the core gameplay is engaging but can feel overwhelming initially due to its complexity.

    • “The general gameplay loop and concept of managing an empire in decline against stacking odds is a lot of fun and keeps you on your toes.”
    • “Core gameplay is very good, with a lot of interesting ideas in the game, providing a nice change of pace after playing Paradox games for years.”
    • “Too aggressive gameplay is punished well, and the feeling of a falling empire is well reflected in the gameplay experience.”
    • “Not much quality of life mechanics implemented.”
    • “Gameplay feels like something between EU5 and Imperator from Paradox.”
    • “Too aggressive gameplay is being punished well, and the feeling of a falling empire is well reflected in what you get through the gameplay.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is considered tedious due to the need to manage many cities individually, especially when dealing with religious differences and numerous upgrades. While the event system adds variety and reduces monotony, the fast game speed and lack of filtering options make repetitive tasks like finding governors of the same religion and building upgrades feel cumbersome.

    • “6 cities hate it when the governor is of a different religion, but there is no way to filter by religion, making it a tedious process to find one of the same religion if you have one.”
    • “I do think that the game speed is too fast, even on one speed, and building stuff is really tedious because of how many cities there are. I would prefer more general upgrades, maybe something like town specializations or districts, instead of dozens of upgrades for each town.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is praised for its complexity, which effectively enhances immersion into the setting of a declining empire.

    • “A lot of complexity that favors immersion into the atmosphere of a falling empire.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story effectively sets up the premise of controlling a non-Roman empire and striving to keep it alive. The tutorial serves as a helpful introduction, making it recommended to play to avoid confusion.

  • graphics
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users mention potential performance issues related to graphics, though some with high-end GPUs like the 7900 XTX do not experience problems. It is recommended to run the game’s grand campaign for a few minutes to test if the graphics performance is stable on your PC.

  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game shows promise but currently suffers from bugs and stuttering issues. Users appreciate the developer's efforts and are hopeful for future updates to improve stability.
