8 of 15While faithful to the PC version, there doesn't seem to have been any attempt at making the interface compatible to the touchscreen. There appears to be zero difference in the UI from the PC version and zero thought in adapting it for touch screens. Which is a real shame because the game would otherwise be really fun but as it stands now, is an exercise in frustration.
I love strategy games but this game is over priced. It starts out fun, but then you just do the same thing over and over again. There aren't very many upgrades (and they are very expensive so you won't be buying many or any at first) or moves for your rider and chariot so every race will start to feel the same. It would be a good game if it was 2$. Leave this one alone until the price drops.
We gonna get an update or what
Great game. A steal during the 50% off Christmas sale. I bought at the regular price a week before it went on sale and it's so good I ain't even mad.
I totally completely lovingly miss this simple little gem…
Although the game is a little clunky in terms of figuring out what icons mean and how to upgrade your teams, once you spend about 30 minutes playing you will understand everything in the game. After that point this game is awesome.
I love Avalon Hills Circus Maximus and this does a good job of emulating that feel. Well worth the $5. The game has too much randomness in it for a good campaign in my opinion. Even when not making mistakes horses and carts are damaged very easily so a good portion of your winnings go towards maintenance making it very difficult to progress. It may be a good simulation of the economics of chariot racing in Ancient Rome and if that's what you're looking for you are in luck. But as a game it's often a simple exercise in frustration. I do however wish there was a multiplayer option.
This game is awesome and reminds me of the old Circus Maximus board game. The problem is that it no longer works and needs to be updated! Developers please update this game and get it back to us!
