Pax Romana: Romulus

#76 Pax Romana Let me start off by saying this: I tried really hard to like this one, i really did. I tried it sober, i tried it drunk, and i tried it stoned. It just didn't click with me. Generally, i love games like this, after all, it looked along the veins of early FF type games (pre 5). It seemed to have some level of customization, after all it says you can customize your farm. It implies resource management, gathering, and crafting. Sadly it not any of those things. But, why? You may ask. 1st: It is, in all reality, an RPG Maker game. I have nothing against them, but this one, is off. B. Customization; you build one of twenty different items, inside or out, and you place them somewhere around the farm. You can't move your house, or farm land. Your home has three rooms, one is furnished. 3st: Gathering is beyond simple. You don't cut a tree. You simply walk over to it and pick it up, the resources do not respawn/regrow. So i am assuming there is just enough of ea...

I know I've played very little for now and 1 hour of play might be a bit short to write a review nevertheless I feel I have to for a number of reasons but first let's get to the positives : - graphics if not great are functional for a 7 buck game this is quite acceptable - the farming system seems quite complete and compelling - the story seems interesting I'm sure there are much more good points to bring up but for that you'd have to read the other review because I didn't play enough and that is because a number of issues stopped me enjoying my experience so let's talk about it : - First off The framerate, I was hovering around 12 fps this is not normal and is not playable please fix this as soon as possible - the menus are quite bad to navigate, Not the most important thing but quite annoying - Energy and food go down too fast, 10 am and both meters are almost at 0 this is quite annoying , especially when the items give you almost nothing back Overall I won't be refunding this ga...

This is a throwback to the NES days. The mechanics for food and energy turn the game into a slog. Your need to eat and the terrible economy model makes farming useless for anything but feeding yourself. Other bad mechanics: No seeds dropped from farmed goods, Making wine requires alcohol?, making food takes half a day and then doesn't even fill you up! Overall, it comes off as bad knockoff of stardew valley.

- relaxing, peaceful game - controls are working fine (mouse & keyboard) - nice soundtrack (you can choose between different songs) - active developer (bugs getting fixed really fast) - in it's current state you can already play ~10 hours if you just follow the story and do some of the quests/build your farm In total i can really recommend the game. 8€ for 10 hours (and game is still in development, updates will come for sure) is really worth it. I played the game using family share. I just bought it to leave a review and to support this nice developer.

Nice and atmospheric little game with a mixture of adventure, survival, crafting and farming. The survival aspect is eating your homegrown tomatoes, lots of them actually. The game is still in Early Access and it could benefit from a better translation.

Hello All, after playing the game for a few hours (44.5hrs) I feel I can give PAX an honest review. The game is in Early Access so content is limited but the story looks promising with many possible directions. Starting off you will struggle managing Energy & Hunger needed to perform actions. I found farming, cooking items into meals, and then selling end product enabled me to build coin to buy animals and other raw materials. Farming isn't fast and takes time but I was able to grind through it. Early on you will want to focus on mining for Turquoise to then have turquoise crafted into rune stones. These then are used to activate the rune portals to traverse the map between the different towns. Harvest wood/stone in between your crops growing. There were some bugs with different features (crafting recipes/beehives) and the Devs responded fast to resolved them. Feedback on issues and ideas were warmly received. Many games I have played you read from other players how Devs don't care ab...

It is a great game with a lot of opportunities. The game nicely mixes mythology and history with simple but complicated farming adventure. Anyone who plays the game should know that the game is still in early access. It will be developed well. And the bugs will surely be fixed.

In this game, we are playing as Romulus. After his father's death, he is trying to fix his life. A new beginning, like the first quest said. I believe it's gonna be a strong story and besides story there is a freedom. You can roam around, live your life with farming, breed animals, do casual jobs, decorate your home and on the other side, you can follow your fate. Nice atmosphere and music! I admire the environments, decorations and stuff... Of course, you may find some bugs, but no worries devs doing their jobs. The game upgrading frequently. Hey, devs! Keep working on this! There is a lot of potential in this game. I give 9/10 to this game.

Pax Romana is a sweet game and I really enjoy playing it so far. The setup of this game is quiet easy to learn, it features an exciting story line and the atmospheric music also benefits to the overall lovely atmosphere of this game. I think it's biggest strength is that it perfeclty combines the crafting/farming and adventure/RPG aspect. As I love both - farming but also adventure games - and this game features both of it and since I'm a huge fan of the antiquity and of everything mystical and adventurous, I belive this game has the potential to really turn me into an addict.

Especially considering this is early access, but honestly even if it was released as is, this game is fantastic. There are quests to give you a focus, but you can complete them at your own pace if you would prefer to spend more time building up your farm and foraging. The one thing that can be tricky to manage is your energy. You have to be able to stay awake until noon. This is not hard if you are modest with farming and foraging goals initially until you are able to cook or have a nice stash of foraged fruit to keep you moving, but it can be frustrating if you want to do more and have to keep going to sleep in the afternoon. The one thing I wish they would put more effort into is the dialogue. There are lots of issues with grammar and phrasing. Initially, it was tough for me, but as I got more into the game I didn't care as much. I still have more quests to complete and I am looking forward to playing many more hours. I am excited to see what they add to the game as they continue to ...
