Spur your settlers on to ever greater efforts, develop a flourishing economy, satisfy the needs of your citizens, and protect your people from danger!

Beautiful and relaxing

By Vyranthas posted 8th March

I found this game to be a competent city-builder that is both fun and relaxing to play - even as you advance and make your settlement grow. It's not very complicated, at least not if you're familiar with the genre, but I don't think that's a bad thing. If anything it's a nice change of pace - it enables you to enjoy the game without having to worry too much about all the little details. The graphics are very good and it's quite impressive to be able to see the seasons come and go... or to simply zoom the camera in and take a closer look at the world and the people that lives in it. I can definitely recommend this to anyone who wishes to build and maintain their own city while having a stress-free time doing so!

I bought this for my 9 year old son as a first step into strategy titles, having played the original Settlers back in the day. Nice gentle learning curve, but it could give you a bit more feedback sometimes about what needs to be done or why something isn't quite working in the way you were hoping.

If you like the Settlers genre then this is one to buy too! Great game. Is fun to go around searching for things then work your way to get them. Gets more difficult as you go on of course. Starts off kind of slow and easy in the beginning. There is a little room for improvement. Would still recommend this game to anyone that enjoys playing city sims or AoE type games.

The Settlers®: Rise Of An Empire review

Hi everyone,

I have some crucial points about the good and bad stuff about this game.

We'll start with the bad:

- For me, the campaign game started to get a little bit old after mission 8. It's basically the same trough whole the game. You build your city (base), promote your knights, complete the instructions you where given in the beginning of the mission and basically that's it. Maybe this feature is like in all others RTS. But me, I'm more a fan of the total war series concept. Where you have sort of an open-world game play.

That said, I have to admit... I liked the game very much. The good:

- Graphics are great. Buildings, people,... all is nicely detailed.

- The game is a nice variation for all the CONQUER-like games, because it has it's main focus on city building not so on army building/fighting (altough, armies are present and a very important feature in the game)

- I think the game is suited for all ages

- The knight promotion system is a nice feature and some of the knights actually give an important benefit.

This said, if I had to score this game... I would give it a 7 in total. Fans of RTS and city building games could even enjoy this title more then I did.
