PC - The Settlers VI - Rise of an Empire
Permalink Closed


 
In The Settlers VI: Rise Of An Empire, the player builds lively, bustling towns in a medieval world. Everything is visible, lovingly animated and realistic. Each settler has his or her own daily routine, with a range of different actions and behaviours that can be observed by the player at all times. This enables him to get the best out of his Settlers, build up a flourishing economy, tend to his settlers' needs, and protect his empire against danger from the outside. By expanding his empire, the player can aspire to becoming a legendary king or queen.

The most popular features of the predecessors in the series have been retained, and many of the fans desires and wishes were incorporated into the new game to create a very special Settlers atmosphere. The result is a realistic medieval world, captured in intricate detail. The game features an immersive, yet transparent economic system based on the resources, wares and goods produced by the settlers in their various trades and occupations.

The Settlers: Rise of an Empire combines the most successful elements of its predecessors to make it the best Settlers game of all time!

Special Features

  • Create a busy, bustling medieval town - Thanks to immediate visual feedback of production processes and the needs of the settlers, real-time strategy has never been more accessible than in The Settlers: Rise of an Empire.
  • A realistic and lovingly detailed atmosphere - Discover an incredibly detailed world, rich in animal and plant life, and full of fascinating details just waiting to be explored.
  • Four climatic zones - Four climatic zones and four seasons have a massive influence on resource management and gameplay.
  • Natural interaction of the settlers - All settlers lead individual lives and interact with one other in a completely natural way.
  • Protect your citizens and your empire - Raise armies, build machines and construct walls to protect your empire. Everything depends on the economy: Is your empire wealthy enough to maintain a powerful defensive force?
  • An exciting multiplayer gaming experience - Play cooperatively with a friend or against other teams: Is your division of labor and supply of goods efficient enough to be able to defeat your opponent?


I have been playing this for a while, and im currently upto mission 9. The game is quite indepth, and there has been one level that is extraordinarily hard, that if you chose to spread out in the wrong direction, you lose very quickly. I have always been a fan of the Settlers games, having finished 4 & 5 and all their expansion packs, 2 and 2 the 10th anniversary edition. Over time, the series seems to have taken on more of a Age Of Empires style, bit by bit.  The graphics on this game are phenominal, zooming right down til you are basically next to them, or zooming out to look over your villiage. I am not a big fan of the way to take over the different area's, it is very similar to Empire Earth II (which I wasn't a huge fan of). But overall this game is very enjoyable.

Graphics - 9 (graphically well made, crisp lines)
Sound - 8 (great ambient sounds)
Gameplay - 10 (What can i say, i love these games)

Overall - 9 
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good strategy game.
