Background Story
It is 128AD. Emperor Hadrian announces a major festival to celebrate his first ten years as Roman emperor. The main attraction is a chariot race spanning the entire empire from Rome to Helvetia.
Famous charioteers from across the vast Roman empire including Greece, Egypt, Judea, Carthage, Hispania, Gaul, Macedonia and Britannia have assembled in the Eternal City. Spectators in their thousands are streaming into the Eternal City for the inaugural race in the Circus Maximus.
The air is tense with excitement and anticipation.
The night before the first race, one of the charioteers from Judea is found murdered in his quarters. The charioteer had been tortured and crucified to the room’s window. An unknown woman’s body is also found on the floor.
The head of the emperor’s Praetorian guard, Quintus Octavian, suspects Rome’s constantly feuding noble families of masterminding the murders. Emperor Hadrian is deeply troubled by the murders. He fears a bloodbath in Rome and in restive Judea. It had only been a few decades since the Roman legions destroyed Jerusalem, the Judean capital and crushed the Hebrew rebellion. The emperor fears another uprising in Judea which could spread to the other conquered Roman colonies.
Emperor Hadrian asks Quintus Octavian to take the position of the murdered Judean charioteer and represent Judea in the upcoming chariot race.
As Quintus continues his investigation, he is drawn inexorably into the murky world of Roman politics. Quintus has to solve two problems at the same time. He has to keep winning each race to stay in the Championship. He also has to solve the twin murders without himself becoming the next victim……..

CHARIOT WARS reviews and comments

I have now thought for a long Time whether I should write a short review, at the short Playing Time I spent playing the Game, and now I finally thought to myself, "Yes, I have to warn you." The Game is the worst Game I've played in my Life, although "played" sounds kind of wrong, because it hardly went.
I have a QuadCore Calculator, with 20GB Ram and as a Graphics Card the Radeon R9270X is installed. So Be Able to play one game or another. However, not CHARIOT WARS. Even if I choose "Fast" as a Settings and in the Options exhibiting everything that Weighs graphics, it jerks in the Race so rough that it becomes unplayable. Only in the Time Trial can I drive without Rucklers, but that's almost worse, then you can see what the Game is like.
But Fun aside and let's get to the seriously able to tell the Story ... It is shown in Cartoon Pictures and what can I say? I almost made the Jack full with Laughter. One Woman is murdered, some and it was SPOILER, the Son of Ben Hur. Oh God...
I'll do it short: Don't Buy this Game, especially for over 20 EUROS!
Edit #1 I played it for a few more Minutes now, the Magic word is "predictable Driving," maybe one or the other from the Driving School knows. This Game is more about pressing the Buttons you need in a few Moments. I perfected this Technique so much in a few Minutes that I won the first Race JUHU. With that I have unlocked a new Horse, yes there is, Horses that run faster. The first Cattle only runs 100 kmh, the tomorrow # tste then already 110kmh and if you are a Masochist and you play through the Game you would get a Horse that runs 1200kmh, no Joke, that's really the case.
Due to the unlockable Upgrades, the Game has something of an RPG ... ... OK, I have to laugh myself, but hey, the Game is getting better indeed after the first Jerk Race. At least that was the Case with me, whether that's because I had the Game mailing and going to my Wife to crash around I don't know, in any Case I still wouldn't buy it.
But sometimes completely in serious, I have no Idea what a Hell machine you need to play the Game fluently, the Problem is that it still doesn't look like 20 EUR. To stay serious, I would find a Price of 5 EUROS still okay, maybe the Story is still getting Going, I can't judge that. But the next Sale is bound to come and then you can watch the Game.
Edit #2 To answer a few more Questions. I didn't buy the Game, I kindly got a Key for a Review from the Developer. Probably last Time, but I just can't really find good about the Game.
Edit #3 Of the 18.06.2015 Having just read that the Developer missed the Game an Update and there were Bug fixes I had to test it again. However, it is still ... I didn't notice any Difference from what I've noticed above. So continue: Fingers off.
But There are also Games that I like [mediennerd.de]
