Have you ever found yourself holding your iPad and thinking, "Gee, I wish I could play a tactical game of chariot racing in ancient Roman circuses"? Well, if your answer to that question is, "Hey, that's me!" then you're in luck. A game of that exact description has just been released on the App Store in the form of Qvadriga.
In Qvadriga, you take the reins of a four-horse chariot team in hopes of emerging triumphant at Rome's Circus Maximus. You get to go against a variable number of rivals, with up to sixteen opponents powered by an expert AI. You can play in either paused turn-based (static) mode or continuous real-time action (dynamic) mode.
Qvadriga is played on historically modeled circuses with variable sizes, lengths, and shapes, ranging from the standard Roman circus to the classic Greek oval hippodrome.
