8.0Citadelum is a great city builder, and it absolutely sings on Switch 2 thanks to the console’s mouse controls. After this, console city builders will never be the same again.

Critic reviews
- CGMagazine8.0Citadelum brings city building to the next level, and although some ideas feel a bit like busywork, at the base of it all is an exceptional sim experience.
- TheGamer6.0This is the kind of indie game that I would love to see succeed, and the next steps post-launch, both in terms of ongoing development and community support, will be crucial in determining whether it’s remembered as a Justinian or an Honorius.
- GameStar.de6.7Citadelum erinnert anfangs an die große Caesar-Reihe, baut aber mangels Spieltiefe schnell ab.
- Ginx tv7.0Citadelum is a game that hits its core objective admirably but struggles to land with several of its more ambitious systems.
- GLHF on Sports Illustrated7.0Citadelum successfully channels the spirit and charm of classic genre entries like Pharaoh and Zeus, bringing this iconic style of city-builder to the modern era, but lacks the variety and content to remain engaging for long. Abylight’s take on this style of game is excellent for those seeking a rush of nostalgia, but merely solid for everyone else.
