Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Can you become a legendary king or queen?

Start with a small settlement and build up flourishing towns filled with lovingly animated Settlers going about their daily business. Use diplomacy to expand your empire, but make sure you build walls to protect your citizens from enemy attacks. With an easy-to-follow in-game tutorial and a gentle learning curve to ensure long-lasting fun, this is the best Settlers game yet!

“The best game in the series because of some lovely visuals and good gameplay enhancements.” IGN

“Gorgeous to look at and charming to play.” Games Master UK

The best graphics seen in a strategy game to date.” TVG

Magazine Reviews:

The most fulfilling game in the series, adding easy-to-play charisma to the usual Middle Ages economics.(Gamespot)

Fun:   
With the newest Settlers being,rightly,trashed due to it'd draconian DRM I purchased this title,I mean it's five and a half quid what the downside? And I'm glad I did,you know a game's good when you lose five hours of your life and it seems like five minutes,it's style is exactly like the old city building Caesar and Pharaoh games although in comparison Settlers is on a smaller scale (you never really build more than a small town) the combat is also very simple and as with most of these games it's generally a case of building a bigger army than your opponent and piling in.This is probably one of the few games I have played that will have genuine universal appeal to all ages and sexes.Overall recommended.

Fun:   
Bought this game for my boyfriend as a gift and he loves it. He says it's challenging and that makes it enjoyable. So I consider this money well spent. It's a great game for yourself if you like strategy games or as he says games in which the main thing is "controlling and manipulating people". Is working well with his computer; he is still using XP so that feature is a plus.

The suppliers sent it pretty quickly considering how far they were from me.
Couldn't be happier with the service all around

Fun:   
Graphics are ok, not the best, but certainly not the worst either, but the general aspect is lacking compared to the previous game where settlers had something to say, the military aspect could be better too.

Overall, the game is good, just not as good as Settlers 5, it is quite challenging sometimes, but you soon get the idea of a basic tactic that ensures victory in the mission.

However, if anyone can help me on mission 15, would most appreciate it.

Settling in nicely.
This was a bit odd. I brought Settlers 7 and thought that this was an upgrade pack. This is actually a completely different game! Read more
