Game is fun but almost unplayable. You fall through the map randomly, and constantly have to force close and reload the game. Can't recommend a game I can't play for more than 15 minutes at a time without a game breaking bug/frozen screen.

Let me start by saying this. Lot's of love for what the dev is trying to do here. But in 1.4 hours, I have had to restart 3 times. First, I slept and it glitched and broke Steam, the second, my first hired gladiator lost and disappeared, I went to the slums to hire another and all I got were "nameless gladiators" that didn't even show up at my ludus... On the 3rd restart, I was doing much better. But my bucket for collecting water disappeared. (Along with the left over wood that I had left from the quest to go gather wood from the merchant. I get it, the game is early access and actively being worked on, but what the ♥♥♥♥!? This is some pretty basic level ♥♥♥♥, that should have been addressed before deeming it worthy of a $15 pricetag. Still, I highly recommend. Solely because there isn't any other developer out there trying to make something as complex and outstanding as this. Now,m all B...itching aside. I'm gonna restart again, because I got a raging hard on for this.
