For those of you that are on the fence about buying this game let me start by saying it is simple. There is not a lot to it. You build and manage resources making sure everyone has charcoal, food, tools, and then you defend what you built with massive walls that you stack and connect to farther strengthen your walls and then if you build the towers to a certain height your ballistas get the maximum efficiency and can fire at the farthest ranges. By the end of the game I had no need for archers and footmen because I surrounded my island entirely with walls and ballistas and managed to 100% the game in terms of achievements and called it done. I don't think there is much replayability here if that is what you are looking for and likely you will end up coming to the same conclusion as me or get bored before hitting the final population number for the achievement.

I recommend the game if you can get it for 5 bucks because it is a nice little distraction, but ultimately not a long lasting one.
