Description
A Whole New World!

It is the year 1602 and you find yourself in command of a sailing vessel, navigating the waters of the uncharted island world of Anker. You have aboard your ship no more than an handful of trusty followers and a limited supply of food and building materials. You are here to begin a new life. As you select which island to settle, your future is already sealed, for each one has its own special characteristics.

Your goal is to create a whole new world. Explore, construct, settle, trade and defend - that is the challenge that lies before you!

ANNO 1602 A.D. takes you into the world of construction strategy games. Build a realistic, living world for yourself according to your own ideas; your chosen strategy will decide the development and destiny of your towns and villages. Prove your diplomatic skills in your dealings with natives, your comrades and pirates too. Start by building up farms, plantations and small workshops to produce, then use your business acumen and begin to generate trade with your fellow players.

But beware, for with riches and prosperity also comes envy and anger! Train soldiers and build defensive structures to protect your property and wealth, or perhaps it may be wise to put your negotiation skills to use outside of business?

So as you can see, there's plenty to do in the world of ANNO 1602 A.D. - exactly what is for you to decide.

ANNO 1602 A.D. includes Anno 1602: Creation of a New World and its expansion Anno 1602: New Islands, New Adventures.

as good as 27 years ago

i love this game and i think it is a good point to start with the series. a little bit cumbersome. but on the other hand, not that complex like later games.

Is this helpful to you?

Favourite ANNO

I played all parts of ANNO. I like the fact it has a balanced economy and good war tactics. Other titles are too simple in economy or war or just too complex. The graphics are old school, but i like the simple style. Just need someone to play on LAN. :D Didn't experience any bugs so far.

Wonderful Nostalgia

While I think the newer Anno titles are better games, this one still holds up on it's own surprisingly well, the gameplay, while simple in comparison to modern titles, is still really working well and engaging. The graphics also have a lot of charme to them and are really lovely and it has the best soundtrack of the entire series (which all have good soundtracks)

As close to the truth as it can be.

I've played this game for years and it's fun for the most part. That said there are some low points to the game. fore example, Uless you incroch on there land or do it your self your ai aponents will never diclare war on you even at the hardest difficalty, Parts of the game just has you sitting around waiting for your resorces and finace to build and housing to evolve just so you can do the fun stuff. Aside from that its a good game 8/10.
