Nova Roma is in a good place, and Lion Shield has clearly learned a lot from developing Kingdoms and Castles over the years. The blend of Roman architecture, appeasing the Roman gods, and mechanics makes for an excellent experience. It may lack the insane depth of games such as Farthest Frontier and Heart of the Machine, but there is a great foundation so far. [Early Access Score = 80]

Nova Roma is an interesting city builder that’s in a pretty solid state for an Early Access game. It has some work to be done, with both minor and major bugs needing to be polished, and some key content, such as more gods, currently missing from the game, but I would definitely suggest checking it out if it’s caught your interest. I’ll personally be keeping my eye on the full release to see what the final product has to offer. [Early Access Review]
