Good game, but the graphic are too large.
Wed Mar 04 2020 A Master Debater

The cards that make up the dialogue in the game are far too big and make playing the game quite cumbersome. I don't think the text needs to be that large and it would be better if I could read and see all the options without having to scroll. Some other UI features to make the game more easy to play is splitting up the properties into their respective categories (eg, animals, farms, etc) to eliminate even more scrolling. You could create a separate tab for education and marriage as I often find myself forgetting to do those options when I put them aside for later like when I lack the money to fund them right at that moment and I wanna do it later. Some filtering options for the main screen would also be epic, so that we can quickly see which person has the best or worst of whatever characteristic or trait you wanna see. But again, the size of cards is just annoying but the gameplay and art is otherwise fantastic.

Game Gets Stuck
Sun Jul 25 2021 xxxxJuliexxxx

I LOVE this game and have been playing for months now. It’s borderline addicting. However, recently the game’s been getting stuck at certain points, and any progress i make won’t be saved after i exit out. The only way to fix it is to reset everything. Like i said, i’ve been playing for months, and i never had this problem before, so i think it may just be a bug with the latest update. Everything else is golden!

The lost sister lives!
Mon Dec 27 2021 Babblingbandu

My very first character had a son and a daughter. Even though the son was my heir, I favored his sister. I even educated her instead of her brother. Unfortunately when my first character died in battle, the heir took over and the sister disappeared from my family view, I couldn’t find her and got very sad. She had just started her apprenticeship! I considered quitting the game but I was having fun so I didn’t. Two generations later, I finally played around and checked my first character’s family tree and there she was! She was long dead but in her long life she managed to get married, find a good job and had living two sons with their own families. I was really happy because I thought she had just disappeared into the void. If you enjoy character building you’ll like this game but be careful because if you’re anything like me you might get really attached.

Fun game!! Some suggestions for the developer

So, to get ahead in this game you have to be kinda the worst human on the planet. 1) The market is where you’ll make all your money. Never miss a chance to go. 2) Don’t bother educating your girls. (This is where the worst human starts...) it’s a waste of money because you’re just going to marry them off. 3) The fact that there’s no family planning means a lot of this game is RNG. You’re gonna find yourself hoping you don’t have boys, and if you get too many you’ll be hoping they die. Because when you die, your assets are split evenly against the heirs. (When the other family line dies out, you do get an inheritance which can help!) 4) I still haven’t managed to get to the last level of education. It’s just far too expensive for anyone to really get to by play style. You have to have luck and RNG into a bunch of good market opportunities and have few heirs. I think it would be more fun if you could either kill your kids or give them up for adoption, or the RNG on the market made it a little easier to get to the senator part of the game. It’s just too expensive to do any other way. I’ve wasted about 20 hours on this game and haven’t gotten bored which is cool. And my Latin is coming back 😂

Fun and Time Consuming!

I absolutely love this game. I have it on my phone and I liked it so much I bought it for the iPad as well. It's super fun to get into and educational in its own regard. I've learned a lot about Roman culture and festivals. It's so fun to see my family grow and see them climb the social ladder. With no end game, it makes it something you can just keep playing at for ages. It is a little hard (I ended up ruining my family) in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it, it's challenging enough to not be impossible but not easy enough to be boring. I dig this so much! The only note I would have is maybe having some way to access your extended family tree? But that's just extra fluff! I love it and recommend it highly! Graphics are cute and lovely, it's easy to use, and just so fun! Price is so worth it!

Meh. Mediocre at best.

For whatever reason, the game doesn’t fit on a mobile screen. Icons are too large, text boxes don’t stretch nicely…. It’s very ugly. And as for gameplay, I maybe had some fun with my first family but that’s it. There’s literally nothing to do in the game but buy property, attend festivals, and hopefully not go broke. I’d save $10, it’s just not worth that kind of price. Maybe if they added literally anything else to the game, but it’s just pressing buttons and hope you don’t go into debt and die.

Fun and interesting concept, few bugs
Sat Jun 12 2021 Roth110202

I love the concept behind this app (classics nerd). The diversity of traits one can develop in the game is great too! My only complaint is that my game now won’t save whatever progress I make now, I’m stuck on the same person and year. The family trees could be a little bit more clear and the assignment of traits and new events need to be even across all possibilities. Despite this I still thoroughly enjoy the game, I just wish these issues were solved. I’ll change my star rating after it’s been fixed.

Horribly Unbalanced Pricy Garbage

Wow what a fun and cool thing to be stuck in perpetual debt because it takes over 4 years to apprentice at the cheapest job with 20 adaptability/insight. What a fun and cool thing that none of the people you marry start with jobs, but cost twice as much as you do each month. What a fun and cool thing that you pay 10 real life dollars for an inescapable debt spiral because you have to pay hundreds in game just to do unskilled labor despite clearly being able to perform it just fine as a debt slave. The devs should wake up every day feeling horrible for who they are, honestly.
