    A huge disappointment for every fans of the series

    The good: Nice graphics. Some well working concepts like resource collection or economy system from the other Settlers-games. The bad: Extremely slow pace. The story isn't interesting nor original nor well told. Mess... Read Full Review

    This game seriously needs some speed! If you can find it please contact need_speed_cause_I'm_boring@nospeed.com.

    The settlers, if it would be aplied as a TBS (turn based strategy) Game it would be better, but a RTS game must have some SPEED. The Graphics aren't too bad, even the music is fine but the gameplay is not simple at all, ... Read Full Review

    Quite a nice game. But on the long run tends to be quite repetitive. Good thing that there are the sub-missions.

    Nice game. Good graphics. At the first few stages new technologies are available. But by the middle of the game all technologies would all be unlocked which at the end you will feel the game turning quite repetitive. ... Read Full Review
