Do you love Rome? Good. Do you love dying in hilarious ways? Even better.
Do you remember dying of dysentery in Oregon Trail?
We do — and we thought Rome deserved the same treatment.
At Praetorian Studios, we’re obsessed with turning history into hilariously brutal survival stories. Roman Trail is our first big march: a roguelike, card-driven parody where your legionaries suffer ambushes, famine, and questionable water supplies — all wrapped in a retro pixel-art aesthetic.
We don’t shy away from dark humor or brutal events. In fact, we lean into it. Every coin flip, every bad card draw, every dead mule tells a story. Victory is rare, but always earned. Defeat is often ridiculous — and that’s the fun.
Our legion is small but battle-tested. We’ve already showcased Roman Trail at conventions, survived our own playtests, and are building toward a Kickstarter campaign that lets players join the march from day one. Beyond Roman Trail, we’re committed to making games that mix satire, nostalgia, and meaningful decision-making — all with the charm (and cruelty) of retro classics.
Conquest awaits. The only question is whether you’ll survive it.
