Neo ATLAS 1469

A Japanese gaming take on the Discovery age, you play as the boss of a Portuguese seafaring trading company, and your job is threefold: - Discover the world and fill the map - Reach (the game equivalent of) Japan - Trade with anyone & everyone you discover midway through The second is what's presented to you as the pressing objective to reach, but the first one is where the main gimmick resides, as the shape of the world is almost entirely decided by what your employed sailors perceive the world like as they navigate the waters, and certain specific actions you undertake deciding whether the world [spoiler] is round or flat [/spoiler]. The exploration is fun, but the RNG nature of it can become somewhat of a liability, like Japan suddenly becoming a landlocked country, with cities becoming innacessible due to their docks being smack-dab in the middle of an inacessible lake. The trading, while necessary to get funds to fuel the exploration, is sadly a bit too shallow & unengaging. Still, if you can get this for a decent price, it's a decent temporary timewaster, if only to see what screwy worldmap you end up with.

Remember reading encyclopedias as a kid and dreaming of exploring the world, learning how people imagined the world to be, and wondering if giant krakens existed? This game offers that, but also allows various preconceived notions about the world to be true, which makes exploring it even more enjoyable. Just chill out, discover new lands, build trade routes, and enjoy the wonderful soundtrack.

Remake of the Neo Atlas II, pretty interesting take on the world exploration genre since it is based on procedural generation for it's map creation. The game features light trading element, but is way more interested in finding plotlines and following them to their conclusion with a bunch of different admirals. I had a great time playing the game and the different potential events that can happen depending on the choices of plotlines you follow.

I played this on the Switch and loved it so I got it on my PC. As a history fan, this game is great!

Very fun game with exploration and trade. Every run is different. The music is great too! Highly reccomend.

This is recommended over the PSvita version. I like making it into a flat world.
