If you are a fan of the Settlers series it is hard not to be drawn to this game. The Settlers games are known for having a heavy economic focus for an RTS and they have a slower pace than many other games. This online version however is beyond slow and can only be recommended as a distraction from work or other tasks. The only way to speed up the game is to pay and the prices aren't cheap. I can't understand how we can have top quality games being sold for a
dollar and then these freemium games that cost as much as a premium title to have any fast fun in. The game has already launched an in-store pack that comes with in game items and currency as well as a preloader for windows yet it still has a lot of incomplete content. There is no PvP currently, the easter pack will not launch until a week after easter and the game could use a lot of minor fixes here and there.
If follows your basic settlers gameplay, get your economy running, tweak it, build up an army, tweak your economy some more and send out your general to fight. There is nothing particularly unique about this version. If you are a fan of the series and want something to on a slow day at work or whilst your code compiles then you may want to check out this game, otherwise it is best avoided 5/10.
I should point out that the most popular amount bought on the game store is 25 euros to play this silly game, now you can buy The Settlers 7 Gold Edition for 20 dollars U.S. and Settlers 7 would get at least an 8 from me, possibly higher.
