How it feels
A slow, deliberate grand strategy game where you carefully manage clan relationships and resources while surviving the harsh environment of a crumbling empire.

What players say
Players call the game abandoned and unfinished, with placeholder tags and broken mechanics still in place years after release. The concept of a nomadic 4X set in the collapsing Roman Empire is praised, but the lack of AI, diplomacy, optimization, and developer updates leaves it unplayable for most.
