While the football World Cup opened yesterday in Brazil, over two thousand years ago it was Chariot Racing that was attracting thousands of fans worldwide. Qvadriga is able to capture this unique feeling from the Roman circuses. Today our champion is starting an brand new international career with a release on iPad and Android tablets, and on Steam as well!
Only months after its release on PC, developer Turnopia has been able to perfectly adapt the controls to the mobile devices. All of the elements that made the base game successful have been implemented for a unique chariot racing experience in the mobile world. Huge campaign, historic factions, 43 historically modeled circuses, sneaky AI, upgrade and customization systems will combine for an intense and passionate sporting moment!

“It’s refreshingly different, fun, and is a challenge to play well”.
“Qvadriga is an excellent game that is very easy to get into, with much more depth than initially meets the eye”.
“Qvadriga brings all the danger and adrenalin of the Roman Circus to life as you guide your tired horses and fragile chariot to victory by a length!”.

“So overall I’d say that Qvadriga is a success. OK, the graphics are not that good, but they do the job, but the game play is really quite addictive and I keep going back for just one more race to develop my team, or even just jump in for a single race in a quiet moment in the office. That for me indicates a game worth getting hold of”.
Last week we announced that Qvadriga, the game about ancient Roman chariot racing, is coming to iPad and Android tablet devices. Now we ask your help to test Qvadriga on mobile platforms before release.
Qvadriga is a tactical game of chariot racing in ancient Roman circuses, where you take control of a four horse chariot team. Choose your preferred upgrade combinations and prove your skills at the arena. Select the most cunning actions which your team could perform against the best drivers of the old world: shake reins, whip horses, choose lanes, hold tight while negotiating curves, avoid incoming attacks, block enemies path, lacerate and whip them until achieving victory.
By signing up for the Qvadriga beta you will have a chance to try out the game and give us your feedback, so we can polish the game before release. Please note that applying does not guarantee you a spot, it simply puts you in the line. The sooner you apply, the more chances you get to join the program.

Trumpets resonate once again in the circus. If Qvadriga has already captured the hearts of the crowd and of the PC journalists – “I’m a little bit in love with Qvadriga” (Rock Paper Shotgun), “a game worth playing for its well-developed mechanics” (Softpedia) – it will now try to seduce a brand new audience:
Das24680 has started uploading a video series taking a look into the Qvadriga campaign. He has released two videos now:
