"Good game. Too short."

Romanius II is a game wherein you play the role of Romanius. You must avenge the death of many and defeat the ogres.
Graphics -
The graphics well, aren't bad. They are good but could use some more improvement. The landscapes, units and objects are well drawn yet lack detail. Though I personally like the art style. My suggestion? Add detail.
7/10
Sound -
I find the sound to be better than graphics. I like the music in general. The in-game music has still "feeling" to it, even though it is a mere repetition of several seconds of music. The sound effects are quite nice. The soldiers' screams are good. I also find the narration of the prologue and epilogue to be another good point. There isn't much need for improvement. Though the sound effects can be refined.
8/10
Gameplay -
Basically, you are something like Achilles. You are a one man army, sent out to defeat on of the remaining ogre brothers. You have a spear and a shield to help you. You have three attacks and one defense maneuver to use in battle. Honestly, I want to see more moves and weapons. It would be cool. Now for your enemies, there are four different types. The rank and file troops, the spearmen and crossbowmen, menacing titans and annoying ballistas. They are very easy to kill, to say the truth. The game is divided into two modes story mode and battle mode. The game is also well equipped with help, as the game tutorial describes all you need to know.
The game indeed is enjoyable yet I found it's lack of difficulty and short duration to be major killjoys. It would help to expand a possible sequel of this game, make it bigger and add some difficulty.
7/10
Relay Value -
The game's lack of challenge, short duration and lack of content makes it less replayable. Battle mode isn't much fun to be honest. Though I'll have to give the makers credit for adding a custom battle option.
5/10
Pros -
Fun
Cons -
Short
Easy
Lack of content
In closing this game is fun but short. It can only be enjoyed for a while, but after that there is little to be enjoyed in this game.
