Cradle of Rome ROM Description

Establish an Empire in Rome’s Cradle

In this captivating historical puzzler, match jewels to build famous monuments. In Cradle of Rome, your goal is to use clever tile-matching games to grow the fledgling Roman Empire. It combines light city construction with lighthearted enjoyment to create a pleasant, approachable game for the DS and Wii.

You exchange nearby gems to create groups of three or more as part of the main mechanism. When blue tiles match, they are removed from the board and make room for fresh pieces to fall in. To unlock locked tiles and get resources, create combinations and power-ups. In between, burn wood, grain, and other materials to build pubs, farms, and architectural marvels like the Colosseum.

Cradle of Rome is an easy read that is difficult to put down once you get into it. The variety of building kinds offers options for strategy. Which will you invest in: defensive barriers or economic structures? It’s important to balance short- and long-term objectives. Throughout all 100 levels, new gem kinds and obstacles make the match-3 formula interesting and difficult.

The gameplay and well-designed presentation stand out despite the little backstory. Rome, the Cradle of Empires, is not going to fall anytime soon, even if you are dying for “just one more round” of match-three. Put together marble columns instead of annoyances with this indispensable freebie.
