How it feels

A grim, tactical dungeon crawl through ancient Rome that feels like a punishing old-school PC RPG with hand-drawn horror.

What players say

Players praise the roman setting and deep character customization, but are split on the grind: most agree the game requires grinding in static, repeatable dungeons to progress. Many also note clunky menus, poor early-game caster viability, and imbalanced classes.
