A well designed trading sim, good for all those empire builders out there!

User Rating: 8.6 | Port Royale 2 PC
By NapalmEddie | Review Date:
Port Royal 2 is a nicely balanced economic sim. The economy of the game is dynamic so you can't simply find one good run and do it all game. Like real life, the demand for items ebb and flow. There is a nice mixture of random events included to make it more realistic.

The battles are, sadly, uninteresting. They have a simple appeal for those who don't care to spend your time fighting it out all over the ocean. Depending on what you bought the game for you may be pleased by this. If you want more combat get Pirates! If you want challenging economic game play (sounds exciting, I know) then get PR2.

The key to building wealth is learned not to buy up all of a commodity that a town has. Once you learn this you will be well on your way to an economic empire!
