Everything We Know About Nova Roma

Nova Roma Story Plot

Nova Roma, a city-builder inspired by one of history’s greatest empires, lets players forge their own narrative rather than following a preset storyline. As they shape their city’s destiny, players can inscribe their own legacy into the annals of history through masterful leadership, visionary city-planning, and the ability to create a thriving civilization that stands the test of time.

Nova Roma Gameplay

Nova Roma takes the charm of a classic grid-based city-builder and brings it to life with an engaging mix of resource management and strategic gathering. Developed by Lion Shield, the creators behind Kingdoms & Castles, Nova Roma builds on its predecessor’s style while pushing for new heights in grid-based city design.

Though specifics remain under wraps, the game’s first trailer has teased some exciting features: forest clearing, dam-building, intricate city-grid management, aqueduct construction, and the delicate balance of meeting citizen needs. With its blend of familiar mechanics and fresh twists, Nova Roma is set to offer a vibrant new take on city-building, and with the banner of the senate and people of Rome waving from its walls, no less.
