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.
This is one of the first games I played completely on my own and I loved every single minute of it. A milestone and the start of one of my favourite franchises in gaming (2205 did kind of suck though).
It's relaxing but difficult at the same time, such a great experience.
Oh, Anno 1602 so many hours are flowed into your endless mode, so often i heard through the playlist.
I was really into playing Anno 1602, I stared to set up an virtual Win 98 to play it - FAILED Second time, I tested some cracks and fixes - FAILED. Was very frustrating, but in the end I decided to take a look to GoG, and finally I found it.
I have to give a big thanks to GoG to make this possible.
Good that I have discovered this launcher witch my Witcher 3 purchase !
THANK YOU !!!
Wish you nice time playing this gem.
This is one of my first video games of all time. So, I'm a little biased when I say it's one of the best games. While I haven't played the GOG version, I have many fond memories of playing this game. I still play it, actually, using my physical disk. I'm sure I will purchase the digital version in the future.
This game is easy to learn, but hard to master. It won't hold your hand. It can be brutal. Enemies can be unrelenting, pirates merciless, and natural disasters, well, disastrous. While it is possible, self sufficiency is incredibly unrealistic in 1602. You'll need to rely on your enemies, and if they are available the free traders, for goods, as you will quickly learn that resources are incredibly scarce.
This is an amazing game, not only in its genre, but overall. The money you spend on this game will be money well spent.
This good ol' game runs excellent underneath Wine on a Linux machine.
Play On Linux got hung during the install, but simply running "wine installer.exe" worked just fine.
