VR Rome

This is as far as I know the first Rome VR where you can actually move free, I mean, the movement system is so far only teleport, but at least you really can move around. The area covered is also relatively large. I was astounded so see how large many of the structures actually were, but also how strange "walled in" the many areas of Rome felt, quite in contrast to modern cities. So it was a real eye opener. A few downsides, which I hope are worked on: not all buildings have notes, so some temples you don't know which was which. Also I hope there will be an Oculus-friendly way to turn with the stick. So far you have to turn physically. I free move mode would help and some improvements with performace and a bit more detail maybe. But other than that it is the best Rome VR so far, and I did not regret buying it. I recommend it to any Rome fan.

It's a great work accomplished by an indie developer. That's what I hoped from 'Rome Reborn' to be. You can move around in all locations, you get useful information at many places, you can see actual photographs for comparison (wish these would be in 3D), and you can access nice 3D overview models. It could have some more details and I would prefer smooth locomotion over teleportation, but this does not diminish the value of the experience.

Clever app design and can see lots of research involved. It doesn't look very polished but I understand the huge effort. Hope the creator keeps improving it and sending updates.

It has potential, but it's very basic. It needs higher end textures, NPCs that move around. Proper refined 3D trees not 2D ones like Duke Nukem 3D lol. It needs more life and would be nice to see the Roman roads and chariots. There are also no interiors or objects to pickup, nothing to really learn from. You also can't freely move around, it's teleportation around the map set teleportation at that :( If the developers keep working on this then it'll be great, but if they leave it as then it needs to basically be really dirt cheap.

plays incredibly choppy. please optimize better. inexcusable

Thank you so much! I already owned the Rome Reborn apps and separately they might have more accuracy. But I have been looking for a way to walk through Ancient Rome in VR. Those other apps don't let you do that, you're trapped in a few select spots and get to look around. You set me free. By means of teleporting a few meters at a time I get to move around large parts of the city. You can see and feel how large things were or how far they were apart. It became much more clear how most people lived in their apartments and what their surroundings were like. This is almost everything I wanted Rome Reborn to be. I saw a few people complain about the graphics... Sure this is not a big budget game with ray tracing, nor is it intended to be. But it accomplishes it goals. My biggest wish here would be to let me walk as well as teleport, and also to have the option to turn with my controller instead of only my head. I'm thrilled with this app! 9/10

VR Rome is a very interesting experience. I had a good time walking around and seeing the designs, city layout and structure size. A lot of work has gone into the models and the notes about different buildings iare interesting. This is a good simulator for people who like design and history. There are many details and it really shows that this is a passion project; I hope it grows into a very real back in time Rome experience. Thank you!

I find the lack rotation with joystick capability to be a mockery of the players. I'm bringing back vr-games like this. Though the game is interesting - refund.

Great experience! Developer did a great job in trying to bring the feel and vibe of Ancient Rome. No free walking and there aren't any life scenes but building ambiance is great. Worth it for any ancient Rome enthusiasts!

Sorry to say, but the quality of this game is really bad. I'm happy that they reconstructed classical Rome, but the graphics are pretty horrible, there's an annoying pigeon chirping the ENTIRE time, you can't turn around with the controller, it's just overall not good, which is too bad because I was excited to see Rome in VR. There are some information tablets about the buildings and you can view the 3D models of the buildings.
