The game is amazing with incredible detail and historical authenticity. It is a shame that a single developer can achieve this yet AAA companies keep releasing slop with little historical authenticity. The only issues I have in the game is really the optimization. Once your city grows to a modest size, the FPS drop like crazy and you basically can't zoom out to see your city in its entirety because the lag becomes unbearable. Also another issue I think is the size of the maps. They are quite small while some of the buildings you unlock later on are huge and easily occupy a huge chunk of the map. However, I think the optimization problems need to be addressed first before bigger maps are added. I still give it a positive review because the developer did an amazing work on this game and when he started developing the game in like 2018 he wasn't even experienced in creating games. I also know he is working on optimizing the game and reducing lag so it assuring knowing the game will only get better in the future, though it will probably take some time since he is a single developer working in the game. I've seeing some reviews talking about crashes but I haven't experienced any crashes to date, I've also seen some talking about not being able to save the game and having to restart every time which isn't the case either, you can save the game and resume from where you left. I don't know if that may have been an issue earlier but it isn't as of right now.

Honestly the UI is dreadful, and some game dynamics are basically never explained, but there are some things in this game I REALLY appreciate. The modular buildings offer so much variety to plan the city the way you want it. I hope they will keep up the great work and keep improving it

If you value your free time, be warned—this game is dangerously addictive. I’ve played nearly every Roman city-building title since the Caesar series, but this one… this one truly stands out. It captures everything: the depth of Roman society, the authenticity of the architecture, and the historical accuracy of urban planning. Everything feels spot-on. My only wish would be for more options to beautify the city—additional gardens and decorative elements would make it even better.

So, I love Roman games, and I mean stretching from the time of the Republic through the Principate and even into the Eastern Roman/Byzantine era. I've given it some time, and I've watched the videos which are listed as a tutorial by the lone developer. Overall, I think he's done a decent to good job, but the UI needs work. It's not organized well, and so it seems clunky to me. Additionally, a lack of tooltips when you mouse over icons makes it difficult to learn about the UI and makes learning the game unintuitive for me overall. Further, and this may be my inexperience speaking, but there's a lack of load/save options. I see the option to save, but if I make a mistake while learning it'd be nice to revert to an earlier save to not waste so much time. Now for the good things the game gets right. I think it does a great job of providing an atmosphere that seems true to the history surrounding the Roman Empire as it becomes an empire with Augustus taking the reins. The buildings are aptly and appropriately named as well. So, I can tell that Roger, the developer, cares about the game, and is knowledgeable about the era, which is a huge deal to me, and I think that's great. I'll recommend this game for now as I love games about this era, especially city builders that remind me of the Caesar series, and I acknowledge that it's a lone dev, so it gets a recommendation from me, but not just out of pity but because it's very close to being a great game. It just needs some UI work to make it more intuitive and that'd push it over that threshold for me. Even a proper tutorial may be helpful rather than the videos that serve as the tutorial currently. Again though, I get why he went this route as it's a single dev, so understandable. So, it's worth it, but just know that there's a learning curve, and hopefully Roger is able to flesh out the UI issues with time. Of course he may not think there are UI issues, and so perhaps it's a design decision rather than a UI issue, but that's just my take on it.

I love games like this! Made by one talented guy with so much love and care, it’s insane. I just want to say thank you for creating something so uplifting that I stopped being pessimistic about the gaming industry. You symbolize something I thought was lost in this sphere: genuine passion and commitment to making great games. I’ll share a few thoughts about the game but keep it short: it works great! There were some stutters, but they were fixed with the recent patch (props for that!), and I encountered one bug where the money counter reset to zero if the amount got too high. Other than that, I can finally fulfill my wish to become the almighty emperor of ROME*!!! The last game that felt similar to this was Grand Ages: Rome—I remember trying it back in the day and finding it neat. But Pax Augusta feels much better. It feels authentic, man. I don’t know, maybe I’m geeking out, but this game is an absolute joy to play! I hope the dev keeps their passion alive and continues this project, because it’s something truly special!
