Few things are as satisfying as watching something you built come to life.


6. Caesar IV

Caesar IV trailer

For anybody interested in history and the ancient Roman Empire, Tilted Mill Entertainment’s Caesar IV is a must-play. The game features stunning visuals, a deep and immersive economic system, expansive and rich maps, and a very long and challenging campaign. And it’s simply absorbing to just watch life unfold in your well-animated city.

Caesar IV puts you in the shoes of a Roman Governor employed by Caesar to develop several settlements across the vast Roman Empire. The campaign starts the player off at the very beginning of the budding Empire and then takes you through several periods of its history. You’ll go all the way from fighting to establish Rome’s dominance as a world power, to defending your colonies from later Barbarian attacks. As always, keeping the citizenry happy is of utmost importance, and they can be very demanding and vocal. The gods, too, will make you suffer horribly if you dare forget them.

The economy in-game is extensive. There are so many things to build, do and produce, and cities can become very large and very diverse. Making your residential areas upgrade themselves becomes increasingly difficult but remains very satisfying. Trade will be very important to the upkeep of your citizens’ happiness, as well, and Caesar will make demands for goods from you from time to time—which you must fulfill if you know what’s good for you! Luckily, there is a very useful council of advisors to help you run your city well.

Far from only having to worry about defending your city from outsiders, you must be on the watch for Rome itself. Fall too low down the political pecking order in the eyes of Caesar and the Imperial Army itself will come to remove you from power.

Caesar IV’s council of advisors do a good job of helping you keep track of the state of your city. Click on each one listen to a brief summary of the areas they oversee and read a detailed report.

Build expansive and beautiful cities in Caesar IV.
