One can of course argue dei Sieler series wanted something new ausprobieren- nonsense, the game should only sell well. With a settler this game does not have much in common. It looks more like a real-time strategy game - and at very low levels. The story, however, for it well done and is supported by the main game quests - deserves a bonus (not necessarily typical for a settler). 3D graphics engine is eternally old, but it fits well in the events. Well for starters. Intermediate start after no more than 4 lvln to yawn. So, prefer to look around and consider whether to settle or a real-time strategy game elsewhere. The USK age rating from 6 would also be meeting in respect of claim. Limit would be then a nine year old brain, if you will meet the demands of the game justice, without the player is challenged. ;)
