Roman city building game
Citadelum is a premium simulation game for PC developed by Abylight Barcelona. It is a city-building simulator that is set during ancient Roman times. In it, players are tasked with establishing a civilization from the ground up as they deal with the various obstacles and challenges that come with the endeavor.
Much like Memoriapolis or Pompeii: The Legacy, Citadelum draws inspiration from the long, legendary, and often tumultuous Roman history for its setting, theme, and story. Thrilling missions, fresh challenges, and mythical encounters await as players strategize and adapt to overcome unpredictable events and complex scenarios.
Building Roman civilization
Citadelum is set in ancient Rome, and you are tasked with establishing a settlement and slowly developing and expanding it to become a full-fledged city with a healthy population and thriving economy. The core gameplay is very reminiscent of classic titles in the genre and has you start with a small population, gather resources for constructing buildings, and work your way from there.
There is a vast map for you to explore in the game, offering new resources and treasures as you expand your territory. You will also need to train and build an army to defend against all kinds of threats. Send out scouts to survey unknown parts of the land and engage in tactical real-time battles with those who wish to harm the innocent.
What sets the game apart from its contemporaries is its honour system. Build a temple to give praise to a god and receive their blessing in return. Be wary of favoring one over the other, though, as it can incur the wrath of their jealousy. Do note, though, that these sophisticated graphics demand advanced device specifications. Ensure that your device meets the requirements.
The Last Conqueror of Britannia adds tougher challenges
Citadelum Campaign II: The Last Conqueror of Britannia is a free DLC expansion that centers on the military campaigns of Cnaeus Julius Agricola. This update adds four intense new missions where players must face off against the Caledonia tribes in a challenging snow biome. The tougher conditions in this area bring additional difficulty, pushing players to adapt their strategies.
The DLC is designed to challenge seasoned players with more intricate resource management and smarter, more cunning enemies. Longtime fans of the game will appreciate the depth it adds. While the content is brief, it brings meaningful improvements, including better performance and various bug fixes. For a free expansion, The Last Conqueror of Britannia adds substantial value and a fresh layer of complexity to the game.
Rise and give praise
All in all, Citadelum offers a solid city-building experience that draws on rich Roman history for its setting and gameplay mechanics. There are plenty to see and explore across the land, and battles to be fought in the name of your kingdom. Dive right in and experience all that the game has to offer, as it provides hours of strategic gameplay and immersive challenges.
