Anno 117: Pax Romana is far from the first of its kind. A top-down city builder that puts you in the calceus of one of Rome's trusted Governors, you play to expand your empire by harvesting supplies, building things with those supplies, and amassing armies to defend your ever-growing city. Stop me if you've played this one before.
So it speaks volumes that, despite a formula we've seen time and again, Anno 117: Pax Romana kept pulling me back in for more.
