Caesar IV Review

‘What have the Romans ever done for us?’ Caesar IV may actually provide a definitive answer. In recent months a new genre has emerged in PC gaming – Roman city-builders. These SimCity-esque games have been popping up all over the place: Glory of the Roman Empire and CivCity Rome both receiving luke-warm receptions recently from critics world wide.

Caesar IV is far better than its competitors, producing an enjoyable, challenging and graphically superior game when compared to CivCity: Rome or Glory of the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, the boxed version of the game is struggling with lots of technical issues.

At the moment the small patch that has been released hasn’t solved many of the issues and as such I’d have to advise you wait to see a more comprehensive patch before parting with your hard earned cash. When those issues have been fixed though, I highly recommend this game. It has a strong internet community already and with an online element that will allow you to create and share scenarios with friends the game should have a lasting appeal.
