Played both demo tracks for a while on both static(normal turnbased mode) and dynamic (you gave orders during the race, feels faster and more ruthless) turns and its quite fun and career mode sounds great

BTW: centuion was fun , but i didnt really like chariot minigame
Although the scope might be small, Qvadriga really does an awesome job of being the best possible Roman chariot racing game it can be. It packs a surprising amount of gaming punch into its genre, and it’s tough to think of anyone that wouldn’t find fun here.
Qvadriga is a fine game and a strong proof of Turnopia’s approach. Built on easily understood mechanics, the game involves a dissection of a complex activity and then reconstruction as a process of distinct phases and actions. A few decisions and interlocked mechanics become a convincing recreation
You guys weren't kidding, the game is addictive indeed. And can be very frustrating too at times, one wrong move and you bite the dust (literally!). It's hard not to rage here, but it's also satisfying when you manage to pull it off.
