7 of 7 people found the following review helpful Love it!!!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: East India Company Collection [Download] (Software Download) For [...], this is one helluva game. I do need to add a disclaimer, though -- this game is not for everyone.If you enjoy turn-based strategy, trading, tycoon-type, historical games, this one is probably gonna be pretty fun for you. It isn't actually a turn-based game, but I play it like one to micromanage everything, from upgrading ports, timing my departures and arrivals, etc. If you read some other reviews of this game, you'll find a lot of people complaining about how your home port's demand can't stand up to increasing supply. Read below to see why I think they just didn't spend enough time to figure out the game. ------------------------------------------- WARNING: TIP/SPOILER FOLLOWS The key is to take turns dumping a single trade item at a time.

The battles have a lot of detail and are entertaining. The games takes a little bit of thinking about the 1600's and how they were trading at the time. The game is not always completely intuitive and I had to do play with it to figure-out how some things worked. But if you don't mind a little trial and error as you play, you will enjoy the game. I have enjoyed playing it. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Repetative and easy, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: East India Company Collection [Download] (Software Download) I bought this because I enjoy sailing and resource management types of games. I have played a plethora of video games in my time so I have a substantial base to compare this to. I was able to breeze (pardon the sailing pun) through this game. It was entertaining at first but then became very repetitive and not challenging for me. Your experience may vary but I regret this purchase. |
