Rome in a Day

A simple yet well-made game. Submitted as a game jam submission, the Chudsoft team tuned this title up and enhanced it's balance and UX features for this full release. It can be quite challenging, but I've seen some crazy leaderboard records so I'll take that as a skill issue on my part. The concept of a short-burst RTS is a very cool one and I hope to see a sequel, spiritual or otherwise, in the near future.

Honestly pretty great. It reminds me of the stylized look of Age of Empires 2 Classic and the resource management is fast and intuitive; nothing overcomplicated. The progression is nice, with the point of creating your army and surviving the harsh day and night. I would recommend this game exactly to those people that grew up with RTS of civilization development yet dont want to have the headache of learning an extremely complex and memory taxing progression tree. Overall pretty fun for any fan of RTS civilization game that just wants to relax and have a quick good time.

So I've been hearing about games like this and this game specifically is a throwback to early 2000s real time strategy games. However, I personally don't have much experience in playing them as they differ from what I usually go for. This was actually my first time trying one out and it gave me some insight into the essence of this subgenre and what keeps its fans so hooked. In this game, you are placing structures to generate resources, and then manage those resources into generating armies, placing defensive walls and setting mines ensuring the defense of your territory. All within the time limit. Despite the game focusing on strategic planning, resource management and combat; paired with green fields, ancient Roman architecture and banger soundtrack, it offers quite a relaxing and chill atmospheric gameplay, which is personally my favourite aspect of this game.
