I like this series of games very much but the amount of clicking you have to do can start to make it a bit tedious. The graphics, characters and music is great but the clicking starts to wear you down after a while. I will probably finish the game but I can only take it in small doses
I recommend this game!

I just could not get to like this one. It does seem to be a bit of Hercules and Royal Envoy so nothing new but there is no likeability at all. The music is horrible and the voice over grates on you.
Nothing new to see here. I will not be buying this one

I read the reviews of others and decided to have a go at this one. It is great. Bought it after I finished the demo. The puzzles and HO scenes are just that bit different and so it is not same old same old. It is not boring. The visuals are really good and it is easy to follow. I always like finding extra things like the dominoes in this one and morphing objects. I highly recommend this game to anyone
I recommend this game!
Come back to the ancient Roman empire and help defend it against new threats in this latest edition to this revered time management series.

One really big thing for me in this game is the fact that you cannot line up tasks. If all workers are doing something you can't queue anything else and that drives me crazy.
I just exited the level I was on today cos I could not stand it any longer. I might get back to it one day but not in the short term. Just not good enough

I have all of the other Moai games. They have become more and more difficult as each new game came out but this one is unbelievable. Level 1 only just got gold before the time ran out. Level 2, have not been able to get gold yet and played it 4 times. Missed out by about 3 secs on the last try.
Because it is so incredibly challenging that can take the enjoyment out of it so I will leave it for a while and then go back to it.
The goals are the same as the last one so no change there. I am in 2 minds about it but if you are a Beginner don't bother.
If only it had some new features that made you feel you wanted to keep going but there aren't.
I might get back to it when I have absolutely nothing else!

It is really nice to play a game that is not full of nasty things. This is a fantasy game full of challenges and finding things and I really like it.
The graphics are beautiful and detailed. It is lovely to look at and the music is easy on the ear.
I am loving it!

This cannot call itself a follow on to the Adelantado Trilogy games. They were unique and I play them over and over again. This game is just Roads of Rome with the name Adelantado. So incredibly disappointing.
I wish the original developers of the Adelantado Trilogy would do another series in the same style.
This one is rubbish

The synopsis of the game peaked my interest but the reviews made me wonder what was this game about. I downloaded the demo and tried to play it. I had absolutely no idea what the objectives were or what all of the screens coming up showing collections, anomalies and how to fix them, things to buy, what I was earning in each scene were about. I could not help myself and bought the game because I needed to see if I could work it out. I still haven't but I am going to continue to try and find out. It is as if the developers had a jumble of ideas and just poured them out on this game with no logic to it at all. You never really know where you are up to or what you should do next. It is a conundrum!!!!
I don't recommend this game.

The story line kind of does not matter in TM games but this one is good. The developers have included good flow by allowing you to click on tasks that will be done next and line them up so you can have a plan. It does not take forever to chop through obstacles and finding the puzzle pieces is good as it was in Hercules. I am enjoying this game
I recommend this game!

Words cannot describe the frustration trying to play this game. Nothing is intuitive so you can work out what to do next for example the hammer and nails. Stan keeps saying you need nails and a hammer. You try to use both but there is no indication which is first and exactly where you need to put them. You try to put them where the gears are turning but nothing happens. I am giving up on this one it is just not worth the energy
I don't recommend this game.
