About Rise of the Roman Empire and how it plays

You step in as a hero tasked with leading Rome to glory. It starts small: a modest town and a handful of citizens. Building houses brings in more people, and those houses generate coins over time, which you then spend on more housing to keep growing.

The emperor’s advisors guide you through the early stages, so newcomers are never lost. Next comes food: build a hunting lodge to keep your people supplied. Production takes time, but placing decorations around the city keeps citizens happy and speeds things up.

Quests, battles and city development

The emperor’s orders arrive as varied quests with unique rewards. Some grant diamonds, which unlock special buildings you can’t buy with regular coins and that multiply your output.

Development points let you unlock technologies at the science center, which acts as your skill tree. That is how you build a barracks, recruit warriors with coins, scout a target on the map and attack your neighbors. Combat is turn-based with deeper tactics revealed as you progress, and you will need to strengthen your city’s defenses too.

Historical characters, grand Roman monuments, colorful graphics full of architectural detail and missions that grow steadily more complex round out the experience.

Requirements and installing the XAPK file

The game needs Android 6.0 or newer, and the download is about 280 MB. The current version is 2.9.16, free to play with optional in-app purchases.
