Compare Prices(4 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Pompeii: The Legacy
I appreciate what Siscia Games is doing here: a focused city-sim that doesn't try to be Crusader Kings or total-war in disguise. You rebuild from the 79 AD destruction, then steer Pompeii through expansion, diplomacy, and natural disasters across multiple centuries. The optional real-time battles keep combat optional rather than mandatory, which means spreadsheet players can ignore the action entirely and focus on law-crafting and trade routes. Adjustable difficulty and save-anytime mechanics mean you're not locked into ironman punishment-runs. The 82% Steam score suggests the core loop lands for small-strategy audiences. What's missing: whether the AI governors compete meaningfully, how deep the trade system runs, and if late-game has enough decision variance to justify a second playthrough. At 278 reviews, this is niche territory. If you want Tropico-lite with a Roman coat of paint and no time pressure, worth a shot. If you need a 200-hour commitment machine, wait for post-launch reports.
