About the Game
Set in 100 A.D., Pompeii: The Legacy invites players to rebuild the city after the devastation of Mount Vesuvius — and to rewrite its fate. Mixing traditional city-building mechanics with historical storytelling, the game blends management, exploration, and survival, while introducing a unique campaign structure tied to family legacy and Roman politics.
With its hand-crafted 3D environments and deep gameplay systems, Pompeii: The Legacy aims to appeal to fans of Caesar III, Anno, and Pharaoh, while bringing fresh ideas to the genre.
