About this game

Citizen of Rome - Dynasty Ascendant is a multi-generational family/Dynasty life sim set in the Ancient Roman Republic.

You get to see how life was in the Ancient Republic, participate in their various customs, festivals and Ludi / sporting competitions, while raising a family and moving up in the social and economic hierarchy of Rome.

You can educate your children, marry them off, sponsor their elections and much more. You'll usually play as the eldest of your sons once your character dies.

The game is open-ended without a set endgame just like in real life, but a grand goal for any ambitious Roman family was to land a Consulship of the republic. This could be your goal in the game as well, climbing the Cursus Honorum and becoming a "New Man" - "Novus Homo"

WARNING: The game just like fate will beat you down from time to time and you might find all that you worked for being taken away from you in an instant, but the way things are set up you'll almost certainly end up growing wealthy and reach the Senatorial class at some point despite various setbacks. There is no game-over and life goes on no matter what

A core philosophy of the game is that just like in real life, there's no winning or losing, just experiencing life and having fun at it no matter where it takes you. The game should be fun in its own way at every level, no matter if you're a prole or a senator, but with things just playing differently and with different goals and challenges

We've been constantly adding new things to the game and hope to continue to do so going forward, especially based on player feedback; Please contribute any ideas, bugs and suggestions via our Discord or an email to [e-mail]

Ratings and reviews

Update: The issue is fixed!!! Glad that I can now play it, love that you can have female heirs now!!! Previously: really really do like the game but it's currently unplayable for me. For some reason my game is stuck on a certain date. If I exit the app it takes me back to that certain date so I can't actually progress. The bug also prevents anyone in the game the ability to get married. I've already reset my game once for this bug so I'm not really sure what to do.

Update: As of right now, the issue with the game crashing when a certain event pops up has been fixed!! Apparently the latest game update did fix it, but I did have to delete the app and reinstall it. And, when I reinstalled all was fixed and my previous game data was saved!! This is an awesome game, so glad the issue was taken care of!!

Great interesting game. I think as this current build, there is some balance issues on the progression of class. The total value of property is not proportional to the class, even if the kids graduate and contribute to the income. In one my game, I only had 8 low level farms yet I was on class 3 already. It really is hard to sustain with that amount given that for class 3, it is already expensive relative to amount of income. I think it will be more manageable if I am still on class 4.
