Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The core city mechanics are solid. It plays like a modernized version of Caesar or equalivant. If this is what you are looking for, this is a recommend. The introduction of the map, trade, and gods are improvements in theory but are poorly…”
“Fun but very rinse and repeat regardless of the mission you are playing or region you are playing in. It would be nice to have some variety in at least the look of the buildings depending on region, but not even that subtle nuance exists.”
People who play it also play: Anno 117: Pax Romana, Nova Roma, Settlements Rising
