Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 24 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (62 of 65 positive).
Players say Roads of Rome 2 is a solid time-management game that builds on the first game with new buildings and level designs. [1][2][3] Some find it fun and relaxing, while others note it lacks major innovations and can be frustrating. [4][5][6] A few reviewers report technical issues like freezing or missing features such as achievements. [7][8]

This game freezes up all the time & has to be closed and restarted. Very annoying.

This might look kinda cheap, but this game is surprisingly fun and introduces you to the mechanics very well. It's similar to Farm Frenzy in a few ways, and the sound reminds me a bit of Populous 3. Overall cute, relaxing, satisfying, and worth the few quid I spent on it. If there is a downside it's mainly the aspect ratio, and I don't think the maps get any bigger as you go along. 3.5/5

Short version: 63% Roads of Rome 2 has average mechanics for a time/resource manager, but the level design is enjoyable, and it has no real disadvantages beyond not having any strengths. It is a harmlessly recommendable title for genre fans. Long version: Time manager sequels often fall into a “nothing more than a level expansion pack” category, and Roads of Rome 2 will hardly defy this statement. If you played the …

Roads of Rome 2 is a polished and engaging time-management strategy game that builds confidently on the foundations of its predecessor, offering a more refined and content-rich journey through a stylized vision of the ancient Roman world. Developed and published by Qumaron, the game places players once again in charge of guiding Roman workers across dangerous lands, constructing vital infrastructure, and managing …

While I don't know that this deserves it's high user score, this game doesn't have much in the way of flaws. The difficulty setting is a bit high. Your micro better be on point in order for you to have any hope of getting the "expert" time on most, let alone all, of the levels. Also, there's no achievements. There's sort of in-game achievements. Sort of. There's a camp where, as you encounter new buildings in …

92% of the 24 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Roads of Rome 2. The complaint that keeps coming up: very similar to the first game with few new mechanics. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

23 of 23 · most liked firstRoads of Rome 2 carries on from where Roads of Rome hit a dead end at the end of the game. A few new buildings to build and strategical items have been added to a set of new level maps. Outside of that the game is basically the same as ROR 1. With gameplay being nearly the same, I am adding gameplay info from my review of ROR 1 Gameplay 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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Far easier than the first game with less intricate level design. And still a ripoff of 12 Labours of Hercules, right on down to the fonts. https://store.steampowered.com/app/342580/12_Labours_of_Hercules/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game offers some nice additions compared to the previous instalment in the series. I suppose you are reading this review after playing Roads of Rome 1. If not, you can start by the first game, as every one of them has completely different sets of levels. Level Design Stairs and ropes are used to better exploit the relief of the map. Just look at the screenshots to get an idea: levels generally gives the feel that they are more complex, with far away areas harder to reach (so more rewarding…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A time management, clear the road type game. What I feel 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.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having playing this online. I thought I would buy the full version and its a simple game to play. You have to build a roman path within a time limite to open up the next level. But also you have to do tasks such as feed your workers, gather wood to build the path and bridges as well as fulfil side tasks to fulfil the requirements of the level. The game is easy at first that is intentional to get you settled into playing the game. Then it becomes more challenging as you unlock harder levels in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More Rome-y road-building goodness. Mostly more-of-the-same, but without the silly match-3 mini-games. Does add a few new buildings. Works great on both multiple monitors and Steamplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Build the road to rome another time for the gods to save caesar. Interesting and fun gameplay. Definitely Recommended!!!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun casual game, a bit older graphics but it's cohesive and the gameplay is great. Wish the developer would go back to these early games and make more like them.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved this game as a kid, my brother and I used to play it together. Sadly, with Adobe flash player getting taken offline, the online game became unplayable. Don't regret getting this version at all, though! It's so fun to play it again, and I've been grinding for a perfect score at every level :) Really recommend if you want a calm but focus ish game !

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the greatest game of all time
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →an expansion on the first one, not many new mechanics but it really doesn't need them
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Improvement over Roads of Rome 1 - includes using the storehouse as a second camp and doesn't have the annoying mini games. Introduces "wild animals" that scare off the workers. Some repeat maps from RoR1 but with different obstacles and game play. Fun time management/strategy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A wonderful successor to the first game! You play as the same Roman general as the first Roads of Rome. After finding out that your new father-in-law (Caesar) gets poisoned, you go on a quest to build roads to the Gods and get their blessing for a cure. You must collect food, wood, stone, and gold to build the "Roads of Rome" 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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I challenge myself to get a expert rating on each level and that is very enjoyable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it was fun and challenging
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game because workers aren't stuck on the road as in most similar games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite a fun casual game. Took me 10 hours to complete on expert. It can be a bit frustrating, but it's the fun kind of frustrating.
