Qvadriga

Hardcore but fun nonetheless lol

Qvadriga offers an uncommon take on the racing genre by combining turn-based strategy, team management, and historical simulation into a game centered on the dangerous spectacle of Roman chariot racing. Rather than emphasizing fast reflexes, the game rewards thoughtful planning and tactical execution, placing players in charge of a racing stable that must rise from obscurity to compete in the grand arenas of Ancient Rome. This distinctive approach gives the game a unique identity, making it stand apart from both traditional racing titles and conventional strategy games. The heart of the experience lies in managing every aspect of your team. Success depends not only on winning races but also on recruiting talented drivers, acquiring stronger horses, purchasing better chariots, and making wise financial decisions throughout the campaign. Every investment directly influences future performance, creating a satisfying progression system where victories provide opportunities for meaningful improvements.

Is it a fun game to spend half an hour or even 3 hours? Yes Is it super in depth and will you be super challenged on strategy? No Is this a game that will end up with thousands and thousands of hours in your library? No Will you replay the campaign in this 1000000 times? No, probably like 5-10 times, after finishing my first one recently (so you can do that in about 8 hours, maybe even a bit quicker, on the normal difficulty) Is it worth the full price? No, but I recommend it when it is on sale!

Alt-F4 got me out of it, but the Slitherine cashgrab-screen, kept the appearance of still running. Had to exit Steam to force a closedown. On restarting Steam, and re-running the game, the cashgrab-screen was ok, but all the 'game' itself gives me is a blank, black, fullscreen window. > REFUNDED (Thanks Steam, the time was close).

We’re men, we like simple things: ancient Rome and Mad Max. Either one would be enough to make us happy. So what would happen if we were given both at the same time? Find out by playing Qvadriga: chariot races in circuses scattered across the Roman Empire, with a simple yet effective simultaneous turn-based system that keeps the suspense high throughout. It’s a simple game, without too many pretensions. But who are we, if not simple men without too many pretensions?

Perhaps back then it was good. Not recommended, wait for better game with chariots.
