Anno 1503 A.D.

I love this Series but if you're expecting a fair fight you won't be getting that here. The ANNO series has given me hours of fun and I still play it every year or so. The graphics and sound of all the ANNO series has always exceeded the standards of the time. There is a lot of fun to be had with this game. Where this series falls short is cheating NPC's. I'd like to point out that this may not affect everyone the same so you may love this game regardless. However the people who enjoy strategy will find this very annoying. What I mean by this is there is almost no real chance of economically crushing your enemies. They must all be put to the sword. That is the only means of conquering them. You can control the entire board cutting off you're NPC opponents from the resources they need. Even destroying there ports so they are cut off from all external supplies. At this point you should be able to watch them slowly crumble from a once modern superpower back to a small insignificant village. Unfortunately for the player that never happens. The NPC's citizens and cities will riot and recover endlessly all the while some how maintaining their technology and military might. It will become obvious to the player that they must swoop in with overwhelming military might to face off against the NPC's never ending magical resources and military. It is a real shame and the only stain on what would be a pristine RTS experience that could leave you playing this series regularly for years to come. I do still play this series every now and then but I'm always left with a deep sadness over what this series could have and should have been.

I think it's a pretty good game in itself, if you like any Anno title, you'll probably like this one, however, a lot of mission include a lot of combat either on land or sea and I think that actually holds the game back.

This is the best version from Anno, still after years

I like that Game so much... I Played it for my first Time in the age of 17......and can still play now... thx GOG for your Work, good Job guys.... For Classic Anno lovers is it perfect......

I played this years ago on the PC and absolutely loved playing it! It is exactly as I remember and works well on my current laptop without an issue. It's one of those games you can have a relaxed play on but also up the difficulty for more of a challenge! One I always come back to time and time again. A fun classic.
