I had high hopes for this game (being a Settlers/Cultures fan). I really liked the idea of the game and have a lot of respect for the team behind it. I played it a lot initially, as I wanted to give the devs proper feedback so that the game becomes worthy of its predecessors. That never happened, however. I wish I could recommend it, but I just can't. There are non-trivial unfixed bug (at least one of them even game breaking) and this game does not get updates anymore, since the devs went bankrupt. I'm also unhappy with how the publisher handled the situation and will stay away from games they publish. I made the mistake of buying this game (twice actually, since I bought it on Steam too). Don't make the same mistake; not even once.
