Not bad for an old game.
I first played Settlers 1 on the Amiga. It was a great game. And I have played every Settlers up to 4 except Settlers 2. So when I came across it on GOG I was delighted. For an old dos based game it is not too bad. I see all the elements of later Settlers games in this. I am not a fan of DOS in any way. DOS is clunky and has always had issues regarding games. But having said that this is a piece of Settlers/Blue Byte history that I must have missed. It plays as well as a dos game can in a DOSBox environment I suppose. It is a tad slow compared to the Amiga Settlers 1 and later Settlers Windows versions. And the graphics are basic. But still, I am having fun with this game. Nostalgia? Maybe. Easy to please? Sure. I appreciate it on it's merits as an old DOS game. This is not a fast action packed game, but for me it is charming none the less.
Is this helpful to you?
