![]() Ancient Rome, in contrast, is pretty dull. At least Gone Fishing had a fun and charming aquatic theme. It’s simply a new set of levels with a fresh coat of ancient Roman paint on top of it.Īnd that new paint isn’t even all that interesting. Yet here we are, with yet another spin-off that barely even pretends to offer anything new. ![]() ![]() That game showed that Alawar could make a fresh and interesting Farm Frenzy-style game, and that they could do it well. What makes this all the more frustrating is the existence of a game called Terrfarmers. Apparently cake-making technology hasn’t changed at all since the peak of the Roman Empire. Most of the animals, and even the machines, are reused from previous games. Worse still, the minor aesthetic changes show absolutely no creativity. There is nothing new in terms of actual gameplay.

And it’s not even an interesting setting.Īncient Rome attempts to tie its story to that of the previous release, Gone Fishing. Farm Frenzy: Ancient Rome rehashes the same formula as the half dozen releases before it except with a new set of levels and a new setting. And yet again, it’s simply more of the same.
