You are an explorer who visits Rome and discovers all the secrets of the Roman Empire. Throughout the game, you are told the story behind the game by means of dialogues with the different characters that appear from time to time. The game is mainly composed of hidden object scenes in which you must find a list of items that are presented with their silhouettes. For very object you find, you get a money compensation that you can later use to buy stuff that help you become a member of the Roman Empire, such specific clothes and accessories. You can visit the market whenever you want, not necessarily when you finish a level. Also, the game actually has no order and you can visit the different sections of the map the way you want. There are some objects in the list that are marked in green, meaning that you can pick them up and place them in your inventory for future use. Some of them are necessary to find other objects in the list. For instance, you are first asked to find a hammer that you later use to break a pot and uncover a mask, which also appears in the list. If you click on the status button, which is at the top of the screen on your right, you can see your progress in the game, as well as the missing relics that you have to find. There, you can also see the available trophies that you get throughout the game.
The game is pretty challenging since the objects are very well hidden, but you can always use the hints which are unlimited and take some time to recharge. The game has only one mode, which is untimed, and there are penalties for continuous incorrect clicks.
The graphics are cartoonish, but very colorful and attractive, and sound effects are wonderful. The music is also very pleasant and changes accordingly to the different stages of the game.
All in all, Romance of Rome is an enchanting game that offers an attractive gameplay and cute theme that will certainly satisfy most hidden object fans.
