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: 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!!

It is a very good idea, but the execution isnt that good. There is barely anything to do besides buy property and the occasional random event(i personely got the same events over and over.). It would really benefit the game if you could do more outside of random events. And some of the job names are in Latin and theres no translation or even a description of any job, a job description for the jobs with latin names would be really helpful.

It isn't a bad game by any stretch, but it definitely does need some work. For instance, I have noticed a spelling error here and there, among some very minor bugs. The main issue, however, is the lack of content/things to do. I very regularly find myself simply smashing the time progression button just so I can get to events like Saturnalia and whatnot. Needs more activities for sure, and maybe even a compendium of all the Roman lore the game offers you to make it more educational.
