Roads of Rome 3 App Reviews

They completely fixed it. I have absolutely no problems now. It is just as good as the other two games.

I really enjoy this franchise. I would say this is the weakest of the three. There are many technical glitches to deal with. Occasionally, if you switch to a different app or close the game temporarily, you will open it again and it will restart, even if you were in the middle of a game. When it restarts and you start another game, your touch is very uncalibrated for a minute or two. It eventually corrects itself, but its annoying tapping the screen and it reading your tap a quarter of an inch away. These couple of glitches make this game very unreliable, and disappointing. Other than that, it is another solid entry in the Roads of Rome series.

This game is severely lacking compared to the previous two iterations. The touch accuracy is off making it almost impossible to know where you tapping. The requirement to have a cobbler to make the shoes to increase workers speed is less than exciting, although not a deal breaker. Overall itll be a solid game when the touch bug is fixed.

On my iPhone 5 it reads the touches as way off from where I actually touched. The game is essentially unplayable.

I was hoping that I would be warned that this app would not work on the 3GS. I enjoyed the first two games but completely wasted my money on this one. The graphics are so large and missinked. I cant play it. My phone is upgraded.

Like other reviewers (as I realized too late), this is the only app of the franchise that does not work on the 3GS.

Bought this game because I enjoyed the previous two. Should have read the reviews first. On my iPhone 5 the touch is off by a good several fingertips, so you have no way to know what youre actually clicking on. Grr.

Loved the first 2. Played maybe 25 levels of this version just fine, all of a sudden touch tap registers way above my finger. Cant cure with restarting the app or restarting app and turning iPhone off and back on. Went into the options a couple times and tapped around, went back to game and that worked a few times. Great game but needs to be playable for 5 stars

I played the first two versions and were great, this one seems great as well. However, the tap is way off on iPhone 5, this makes the game unplayable. I hope they fix it.

Touch tap is way off on iPhone 5 so I cannot play this game. I imagine it would be great but since I cannot play the game, it gets a single star

Technical glitches aside (and if you try hitting anything--like a tree--low on the screen it will quickly recalibrate), its not as fun as the first two. With ROR3 you have to decide what you want to strategically ignore--you cant "afford" to fetch every bundle of wood/food/stone/water. And as someone else mentioned, the addition of the cobblers hut is unwelcome because it forces you to treat speed as a resource. On paper these sound like neat twists, in the game its simply not as fun.

Im sure this game will be entertaining but on the iPhone 5 there is a severe tap calibration issue during missions that cause you to waste potentially a lot of time from mis-touches. The last update was a while ago so I wont get my hopes up. Uninstalled. Ill check back later.

Plot twist for this release: Where you tap is not where your workers go. I guess if you wanted to make it challenging then that certainly make it harder.

What the crap happened??? Played this game A LOT today...and in the last couple hours sometime the touch got thrown WAY, way off....

Game is basically unplayable because the touch calibration is all off. When you tap something, it reads the tap as at least a quarter inch off.

The touch calibration makes it impossible to play this game. Do not download unless Realore decides to fix that problem.

I’m still having the problem with where I touch not lining up on the screen, mostly in the early levels. In addition, after beating the relaxed mode, now I try to play a relaxed level and the app crashes. App told me today that there was an update to version 1.03 but unless you keep the screen up and unlocked, the download will restart. After sitting by my phone for about an hour tapping the screen to make sure my phone wouldn’t lock, I gave up and haven’t been able to find any answers on the internets.

This game is similar to My Kingdom for the Princess on IPad/pc but actually works on iPhone. Worth $1.99 for hours of fun.

The screen sighting is off so you can not easily pick up anything, and I can not get the latest version that will probably fix it to upload. When it does work, the game is not as fun as the previous versions.

I enjoyed the first two games and so happily plunked down the $2 for the third. It appeared to download fine at first. When I opened the game, I got a message that an update was available. So I tried to update, but then the entire installation crashed. Now the app crashes every time I try to install it. $2 down the drain!
