This is the best Steam Deck implementation I've ever seen for a city builder. Seriously, I wish more games like this took the time to develop such fluid and snappy controls, Citadelum clearly proves its possible. Also the game itself is good and strikes a great balance between complexity and ease of learning. I didn't even expect it to have a combat system. Also great and SORTABLE data displays... Jesus, a lot of games are DOA for me because it's impossible to figure out what's going on in your city. This is great. Thanks devs. PS: First time I've ever reviewed a game on Steam in god knows how many years of having this account.

This is a great successor to other Ancient Roman city building games (namely the Caesar series) Some thoughts on differences in gameplay from games past... - Be aware that your forum has to be placed before doing essentially anything else, and its placement is permanent. - There is much more of a grind to level up. Rome was not built in a day, it is work to build and run a city. - You do not earn a salary and have the option to donate savings to the current city to help with a financial bind. - There is room for improvement in combat mechanics. - In the field you can initially place units but it tends to devolve into a mob rush vs commanding your placed units. To be fair I'm still working commanding forces in play. -If your city is attacked your current local forces do not deploy to the map for defense, its all up to the guards - or lack thereof. All things considered this a solid game; especially if you are into the genre. I enjoyed the original scenarios and am working through the expansions, which are free downloads <- awesome!

Played this game on original release and very much enjoyed the original campaign...It was a nostalgic diversion that kept me engaged throughout...but now with the FREE releases of two more mini-campaigns and the massive Julius 2.0 release I am back into it...the Julius update adds a stunning amount of depth and variance to the game and I find myself replaying the original campaign once again and it is like doing it for the first time...more nuance, more to manage, more level advancement and production management...This is a great entry into the historic builder genre...a throwback to Caesar 4 and Grand Ages: Rome but modernized just enough to make it relevant to today's burst of city builder releases.

Let's go for the Cons first. This isn't one of those expansive City building games, where there are tons of variations for you to do things. It's primarily a Mission based game, where each stage asked you to do specific objectives to progress. There is a Sandbox Mode, but you can pretty much achieve everything available in a small space of the map. If you want to play a game with tons of choices to make, this isn't a game for you. ______ The Pros : It's a decently designed Game for what it's trying to achieve. => Clear the objective to progress to the next Stage. For that, Compared to other Games, Building and upgrading is instant and automatic as long as you've fulfilled the conditions. There are less annoying stuffs like having to do extremely specific sequences just to unlock a building. Which means there are less micro management to do. The UI is also well designed. It's easy to understand what I need to build to upgrade the buildings.
