Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of Roads of Rome 2 from Realore Studios. The game combines elements of strategy and time management titles, challenging players to build roads to the kingom of the Gods in an effort to find a potion capable of saving the poisoned Caesar's life.

Here's an excerpt:

As is generally the case in these casual games, the game teaches you to play as you go, whether you need it to or not. This is helpful as many levels add new elements and these are pointed out to you as you play so you don’t miss anything. In Roads of Rome 2 you start by collecting just two resources, food and trees, to keep yourself fed and build roads. As you’d expect, this quickly escalates to building sawmills and farms, quarries for stone, mines for gold, storehouses, smithies, and so on. Each level starts with a screen telling you what you have to accomplish to move on, with each level including building a road. You’ll quickly get the hang of the basics, and as you level up, and have access to more workers, you’ll start having to strategize more on what to build and collect first, what upgrades you’re going to need early, and the best way to accomplish the goals in the time provided. As you would expect there is a certain similarity to the levels, but enough changes and variety to keep things from getting boring.
