The Settlers®: Rise Of An Empire review

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.
