"The Punic Wars is a game that you have to buy at any cost. With enormous campaigns, and not a too difficult resource micromanagement, it is on its way to obsess you."

"The strength of this game is the gameplay and there is some satisfaction to be had from amassing an army and successfully vanquishing an enemy."

"On the whole, Nemesis of the Roman Empire certainly looks like it’s going to be a stellar sequel to Celtic Kings and I can honestly say that I’m looking forward to getting fully involved. The demo was like a light lunch and I’m getting hungry for dinner!"

"Lacking base-building, deep resource control, and combat micromanagement, Nemesis of the Roman Empire seems to be rather sparsely featured."

"Overall, this is an excellent effort, the game is fun, challenging, and difficult to beat."

"Nemesis is a good diversion for those looking for a little different take on the real-time strategy formula."

"Nemesis is by no means a perfect game, but it’s definitely a breath of fresh air within the RTS scene"

"Nemesis of the Roman Empire is a good and solid strategy experience."

"Nemesis of the Roman Empire is a no-brainer if you never played the original Celtic Kings. It's a great game that shouldn't be missed."

"Overall, Nemesis of the Roman Empire is a fine follow-up to Celtic Kings, and a great real-time strategy game on its own merits. The new campaigns offer varied and interesting gameplay just like the original game, and the added races offer a new dimension for existing fans."

"The gameplay is interesting and deep."
