1849: Gold Edition

This game has its mechanics drawn from both Sim City series as well as the Caesar (Zeus; Pharaoh) series. Its graphics are a bit like the first Warcraft games. It is a cool and enjoyable game, but it stays well within the borders established by the genre. I think the price tag is a bit steep.

This game is remind me city building series from Impression Game, many things are quite similar such as graphic and industrial merchanic. But, this game is too expensive. It's lack of many things; i.e., challenge, civilian opinions, and cut scenes. Some of game mechanics are annoyed me, I can't move the screen freely when I want to build a road or new building. I recommended to buy it, but during discount week only.

Since when this is a "Good Old Game"? It's a piece of crap like so many said. I think GOG should stick to successful games and leave brand new ones to Steam to get stuck with. That way, they have more money to get the licenses of REAL games. Not some wannabes'...

I was starting to get frightened that I had wasted my money, since I started reading reviews after I already dropped $12 on this game. I played it for 5-6 hours and I honestly feel it offered a fun experience and some challenge. I hadn't played the phone version or other versions before, so it seemed new to me. If indeed you can get it cheaper on another platform, then do it, but $12 seemed, to me, like I wasn't wasting money, compared to other reviewers' views (having no prior knowledge of the game and wanting to waste a few hours). It's a fun game.

I bought indie bundle with this game for 1 dollar, when it was still beta. It's not worth 15 dollars. Buy it later with big discount.
