Antiquitas Reviews

City builder game that is still being added to, from the designers of My Colony.

It's a great idea to put this game on steam. 7/10 needs achievements.

For 3 dollars, you can get a ton more time and entertainment out of it than the cost of the game. As someone who is a fan of their other game on steam (My Colony) I did get the hang of it pretty quick as the mechanics are a bit similar but still different. Unlike My Colony, currently there is no multiplayer/online feature and not sure if there will be one. I feel this game would be amazing if that was ever to become a thing. It is very rare for there to be multiplayer/social features (which are optional in My Colony) in a city builder. One thing to keep in mind is growing is a lot slower than My Colony (which is actually pretty fast). The longest part is getting resources to do things. However (at least as Rome) there is a lot of buildings to unlock and researches. It can also be confusing to some because there isn't too much a tutorial. But its pretty easy to learn at least for me. The creator(s) do update the game a lot, even though Antiquitas isn't as popular as My Colony (which also gets a lot of updates). Just recently a new update is in process of coming out as of this review (5-14-19) and the game is as stated, constantly updated. For a game this price for so many updates is definitely worth it. One thing compared to My Colony, I find its easier to make a beautiful city with more organization in Antiquitas than the former stated game. I have a very beautiful (but smallish) village that looks really pretty. You can see it here: https://i.imgur.com/4SLv53n.jpg One last thing. Antiquitas does have mobile background, same with My Colony. However they do not feel like a typical mobile game at all. There is no waiting to do things (besides gathering resources), no paying to unlock stuff, no microtransactions and is more like an actual game. For a semi-casual city builder, this and My Colony are both by far worth the money. The constant updates are amazing, and the updates are often quite substantial. Some of the best city builders I've played, which is surprising given its mobile origins.

The game is good but far from being great. The game has many bugs mostly small ones but is quite enjoyable. I would say the biggest thing you probably will like about the game is modding. There is an editor included which allows you create your own custom maps. I think the other issue is there needs to be more countries then just 3. You should be able to upgrade the buildings as well.

For how simple it looks, it is quite complicated. Very well thought out. Very enjoyable to play. Great city builder

Really difficult to understand the mechanics of the game, tried for half an hour, could not make me happy. but as of now, I felt it boring and lacking in tutorial/ information/guide. I wish to have 25 hours of happiness considering the amount. but, got tired and bored in half an hour. Considering the game can still be modified for ease of use, I will revisit next month for sure. then might change my review.

Basic builder game with 3 unique cultures and different landscapes to build upon. Overall great value for game type. Since it is in the early stages I am going to list difficulties I have and hope the developers take note. -Grain fields to don't appear with an artic environment-can't build things that require grain if I have none -Needs a separate, specific, cleared area for servants to appear after purchase they are difficult to find since the slavery is one of the first buildings purchased and is usually in the middle of a city. -Need a separate builder servant, that is all they do, I have had issues of the game refusing to build items, example having 31 storehouses and only ten being built (no reason, plenty of resources, etc. ) -There are difference between the cultures and should be a tutorial or section explaining them. I will be adding/subtracting from my list as I play. I recommend the game and hope to see others play it. A feature to screen shot your finished community and share it with other players would be a good idea as a later add. Happy Building folks,

Probably the best value game on steam for less than 5 bucks. Fully fleshed out city builder that is very relaxing to play. Makes me feel like an ancient king.

Unplayable. The houses of scribes that I have built have idle workers. My progress has stalled from the start. I wish you had put My Colony on steam. You really need to focus on bug fixes before anything. I turned of rendering colonists. Still it doesn't work. I put simulation on Perfect mode. The workers need to be more automatic. Colonists need to be fixed overall. I would really recommend this game after the bug fixes, but both in My Colony and this game, it just doesn't happen. The developer told me the bugs are incredibly hard to fix because this game is assembled with a bunch of scripts or something. Well, there you have the problem; this game needs to be recoded entirely. I'm waiting.... [Edit] I downvoted this game before, because I was frustrated by the bugs which need fixing. I restarted the game and built more scribes. Once the research started I got to enjoy the game more. The graphics are pretty cool and the gameplay is similar to My Colony, which is one of my favourite games. The developer is actively working, and I hope he can solve issues in the near futute!

For 2 bucks it's a nice game. But it is just a city builder. Thats all. This game really miss some chalenges. You can build wall, but why when there are any raider or enemies at all. You refuse to pay tax, well there are no consequences. There is only one real challenge - you have to build hundreds of Toolshops because this workshop is extremelly slow and you need thousands of tools. This game is missing proper tutorial. Some thing are unlogical - for example you unlock some new building in tech tree - but you can not build them... you even don't see these building in build windows. Well, you have to buy slave first to unlock new building. Great. And I played for as egyptian, unlocked theatre tech tree and there are no theatre buildings at all. Actually whole tech tree is quite strange, you never know what tech will you unlock next. Also working with slaves is pain in the a.. You can select one slave or all of them. Developer probably never played ago of empire :) And your own people are super lazy, they work only 8 hours at day. Most of the time, they are not at work. Common, this is just a game, they don't need relax (especially when slaves works 24h/day) There are some buttons - to fire someone from work, or to execute him, but actually these buttons are useless. New employee will be the same lazy a.. And the worst, graphic is really fugly. Oh my eyes. Actually is not that bad when you start the game, but once you scroll out, it is impossible to scroll back to "original zoom" You can press "Return to centre" button to get the original sharp look, but once you use scroll again, graphic is blured. But it's not a bad game, I enjoyed it. It just need some polishing.
