I'm bothering the gods in Roman Empire city builder Nova Roma's new demo, and it might not be the best idea
Whether it's in Final Fantasy, Elden Ring, or Hades 2, clashing with the very gods themselves has long been a fundamental part of video games. However, the longer I ignore the ire of the Roman Pantheon in Nova Roma, the more I start to worry that it's not the best idea. This beautiful town-planning newcomer from Kingdoms and Castles dev Lion Shield and indie strategy publisher Hooded Horse has a demo out now on Steam, so you can try taking a more measured approach to your dealings with the deities - or, like me, see how long their tempers will last.
