    This time management game is good to have a fun and relaxed play session, without getting to deep into learning how to play. There is however a little bit of thinking and clicking to do. You must make good use of your workers to gather necessary resources and also repair and gather things to beat the timed levels of the game. Your main "object" of the game is to repair the Roads of Rome of course. To do this you must balance the use of a number of workers (1-4) on each of the levels to gather…

    A near exact clone of the 12 Labours of Hercules series. I wouldn't mind reusing the concept but at least use different graphics and add some things. Additionally it lacks most of the gameplay, interface and graphics polish that LoH has. Most notably, there is no queue for actions. I'll admit the level design is decent.

    I really like this game, it's a good time management. If you don't know the genre, it's a kind of solo RTS, where you are only building (no fighting involved). Everything happens on the same screen, so you can focus on the best decision, such as using your ressources for the good building. If you know the genre, it's a resources consuming game: you have to put all your resources (stone and food) to build a big road across the screen. There is no multi click (something I didn't like at first),…

    Short version: 45% Sometimes you may want something harmless, yet unimpressive. You may also look for a cheap time manager that is guaranteed to maintain a steady modicum level of entertainment value. In that case, Roads of Rome can be your pick. Long version: Even though this is the first game of a long series, Roads of Rome feels a bit like a tired time manager that goes along its routine and never strives for more. We have a handful of workers, four resource types, standard production…

    Meaningless, a waste of money even for 50 cents. It's nothing different from other games of the same genre, but the visual is poor, no resolution selection and/or no real fullscreen, and there is no queing of actions. Quite useless, honestly.

    Fun game, not a big title and you can't compare it to other games but it does suck you in. Once u decide to play it get's you right into the game, No loading time at all and never experienced any bugs or crashes. It is one of those games to play when you feel bored and got nothingg to do, it'll take your time away. 5$ is perfect price, I would buy it even if it was for 10$

    This game is more fun than you might think. I wasn't expecting much, given that I only paid 3 dollars and change for it, but it provided me with quite a few hours of fun.

    I bought this game not thinking much of it, but I was immediately blown away by what I experienced in Roads of Rome. First of all, the graphic completely blew me away. But what really sold me on this game is the second half, when the story takes a sudden dark turn. I won't spoil it though; this is something you MUST experience for yourself. It's an absolute masterpiece in modern storytelling. Who knew Road Simulation could be this fun? update 25/nov/2017: the devs have resorted to…

    I really, really like this game, I played a free demo on a different site before...but this one seems to have an issue, or maybe it's just my download... There's no cursor. You literally can't see where you are clicking unless you actually manage to highlight something.

    A time management, clear the road type game. What I feel it is missing from it is the ability to schedule moves/tasks in advance and the ability to cancel them as well, but other than that it was ok.

    An interesting twist on the dudes-on-roads genre. Less polished than some others (and the end-of-area minigames need to go), but still very playable. I had no issues with the mouse cursor. Runs great on Steamplay.

    I have no visible cursor. I can still interact but I have to guess and slowly move the mouse until the button lights up. I'd love to play, but I can't without the damn cursor.

    I wonder whether it's exactly what you mean but I recently played the "casual" game Roads of Rome, which is a simple stage-based RTS-esque game where you endeavor to build roads within a time limit.

    It's a game of my childhood. for a quite old game it holds up decently for it's simplicity. Yeeeees. Major things like Task-Queue are missing, but who cares? It's a simple and neat game. Only issue is that it's graphically very buggy since it hasn't been updated in a long time.

    "A Tiny game for a Tiny price" Nostalgic, simplistic and fun. The game can get boring if you play it for extended periods of time, but it's just one of those casual games that you go back to every now and then. Plus, the concept of "My Valley" (a valley that showcases which buildings you've unlocked with the statues of four Roman gods) is pretty neat.

    A casual, yet fun and unique RTS, resource time management game. You play the part of a Roman general, who is sent away by Caesar as an attempt to keep you from marrying his daughter. You must collect food, wood, stone, and gold to build the "Roads to Rome" like the title suggests. Each level is unique with different objectives and gets more challenging as you progress through the game. Some chapters have seasonal changes which effect gameplay and I noticed on certain levels you can get "locked…

    Simple and relaxing time management and resource management game. You need a bit of thinking, some planning, but also quick enough clicking. Nothing too hard though. Nice graphics and sound. To me it was relaxing, casual mini-game. Definitely RECOMMENDED for dessert after more serious things.

    I liked this game, because workers are sometime able to round the obstacles instead of beeing sticked to the road as in most Time management games. Please not that it's not possible to play casual without timer.

    Seems to be an okay game, I like the concept but I can't use a mouse because it only flickers on screen. Since I have a touch screen I can actually play it but too tiring and too slow when your hand is always at the screen covering part of your vision. I RECOMMEND THE GAME ONLY TO TOUCHSCREENS.

    I came across this game on another site several years ago and was immediately hooked. It's got good graphics, nice music, if a bit repetitive, and a lovely story. There are also sequels (Steam, please bring them on here!) which are a little more sophisticated as they go along, and the story is still enjoyable. For the price, it's a wonderful way to while away a few hours.

    Very similar gameplay to the 12 Labours of Hercules series but not quite as polished. Gets slightly trickier towards the end and may need a couple of attempts on one or two of the later levels to get the expert score. Fairly short and fun enough for the price, but needs an option to adjust screen resolution, and you really miss the ability to queue actions in advance.
