About VR Rome
VR Rome reconstructs Rome city of 320 AD. In a continuous 2km * 2km play zone, you can walk in the eternal city and find famous sites like Colosseum, Pantheon, Roman Forum etc, and even the Temple of Claudius, Theatre of Pompey that can not be seen today.
For each important building, there is a tip on the top with its name and complete year, and a information panel on the ground, describing the building, even with photos of its ruin today. The most exciting things is, you can enter a museum gallery, with its building model of 1:500 size on the table in front of you, so you can view the building from every perspective.
I am an indie game developer. When I travelled to Rome for the first time, I lost myself in Roman Forum. I could not identify these temple and bacilicas even with the map. Then I thought why not make a VR sandbox of ancient Rome, reconstructing buildings, showing their name on the top, and creating an information panel before each important building, with describing words and photos of now.
After I decided to make this project, I travelled to Rome 3 times, visiting museums. I also spent 2 year's time in researching archaeology and architecture of ancient Rome, finding all kinds of materials on buildings of ancient Rome.
Now it is completed. It covers most of the urban zone of Rome city in 320 AD, from Colosseum on the southeast to the Stadium of Domitian (Piazza Navona today) on the northwest, a 2km * 2km continuous VR zone for players to walk on.
Roman Forum
Arch of Constantine (315 AD)
Arch of Titus (82 AD)
Flavian Amphitheatre (Colosseum) (80AD)
The Temple of Mars Ultor (2 BC)
Basilica of Maxentius (312 AD)

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
It has potential, but it's very basic. It needs higher end textures, NPCs that move around. Proper refined 3D trees not 2D ones like Duke Nukem 3D lol. It needs more life and would be nice to see the Roman roads and chariots. There are also no interiors or objects to pickup, nothing to really learn from. You also can't freely move around, it's teleportation around the map set teleportation at that :( If the developers keep working on this then it'll be great, but if they leave it as then it needs to basically be really dirt cheap.2 found this helpful
plays incredibly choppy. please optimize better. inexcusable1 found this helpful
I wish this would get updated and improved upon but for what it is, I really enjoyed the experience. Get it on sale and take a walk around ancient Rome.
I find the lack rotation with joystick capability to be a mockery of the players. I'm bringing back vr-games like this. Though the game is interesting - refund.
Great experience! Developer did a great job in trying to bring the feel and vibe of Ancient Rome. No free walking and there aren't any life scenes but building ambiance is great. Worth it for any ancient Rome enthusiasts!
Sorry to say, but the quality of this game is really bad. I'm happy that they reconstructed classical Rome, but the graphics are pretty horrible, there's an annoying pigeon chirping the ENTIRE time, you can't turn around with the controller, it's just overall not good, which is too bad because I was excited to see Rome in VR. There are some information tablets about the buildings and you can view the 3D models of the buildings.
