Entspanntes, rundenbasierendes Puzzlespiel. Die Level die ich bisher gespielt habe waren nicht zu schwer, aber hin und wieder musste ich doch ein wenig knobeln. Hin und wieder spielt auch der Zufall mit, wo welche Farbe auftaucht, was dazu führen kann, dass man keine perfekte Punktzahl erreichen kann. Nicht dramatisch, aber idealerweise würde das Spiel erkennnen und kein Punktabzüge geben, wenn es unvermeidbar ist. Allerdings ist es dennoch praktisch immer möglich das Level abzuschließen. Alles in allem ein entspannter Zeitvertreib. Interessant für Leute denen Mini Metro vllt. manchmal zu hektisch wird und Dorfromantik zu simpel ist.

This is an addictive little game which is worth its price.
The seemingly simple controls allow for fast-paced action and combos worthy of any Kung Fu movie.
Do not get put off by the simple graphics, they are actually rather benefitial to make it easy to see what is happening on screen. A huge selection of game modes and levels plus different difficulte settings and skills that can be unlocked add immensely to the replayability. Once you start playing it will be hard to walk away from the game as you will repeatedly play "just one more level".

This is a great game and it's hard to believe that this was made by just a single person.

It certainly is somewhat influenced by the Anno series in terms of the graphical style, but plays entirely different.
As many have said it is kind of a survival game with the player building a small settlement and trying to keep the people in it alive. If you have a good start it might look easy at first, but one small mistake can doom your entire village if you are not careful. It is a game that to some extend is about min-maxing, finding the best combination of buildings and assigned jobs for your settlers. However random events do require you to adjust to changing parameters. Winter might come a bit earlier and you have not brought in your whole harvest yet? This might result in a good chunk of your population starving if your warehouses are not well stocked. Also random events like merchants occassionally showing up in your harbor to sell you good that you otherwise would not be able to aquire further add to the dynamic of each playthrough and provide some replayability.

Overall this is a game for people who do not want to run a huge empire like in Anno, but want to micromanage a small population and help them survive in a hostile world with limited ressources. But I certainly can recommend this game to everyone who feels like taking up this challenge and maybe try a few times until you get that one successful settlement.

A short while ago - kind of in preparation for the new WG: Red Dragon - I started playing WG:EE again, and it still is a great game. Personally I never cared much for the single player campaign which is a weak spot of the series. However the multiplayer part is just great. It alllowas games from 1v1 up to 10v10. The amount of available units is huge and accomodates for lots of different strategies. The game could be considered semi-realistic with the units being based on real life versions though in some instances tweaked for gameplay reasons.

Worth mentioning is also that this game had received two free DLCs in the past adding additional units and maps. Something that gets pretty rare these days.

So anyone looking for a great RTS with a focus on multiplayer matches should take this game into consideration,
