The Settlers: New Allies

Oh how the mighty have fallen. A lackluster woke agenda with a shop. If you really need a Settler game in this age, wait for the 90-95% discount. Graphics look good enough and no real problem. There is 3 "factions" that .... don't differ much. The maps look nice. The gameworld is cenetred around hexagons, just like Panzer General in 1996...why ? who knows. Heavy build limitations. The "AI" is at best sub par. Campaign AI does not expand, it does not build, it never contests or attacks. It send 1 or 2 soldiers every 5 minutes and just waits for the player to come and put it out of it's misery... The story of the campaign is abysmal at best. 2 strong woman drag around the whiny and largely useless man in command while endlessly yapping. Every few minutes you have to click a building or ruin to see the camera circling around it while the woman is chewing your ear off. The maps have no progress. You do not unlock better tech, new units or anything throughout the campaing. It's literally a collection of lackluster skirmishes with 2 strong woman constantly chewing your ear off for no other reason then "woman needs to speak". Any of the yapping containing anything remotely interesting …

The game sometimes stop autosaving. I lost 2 hours of gameplay.

it is a fun game with casual difficulty. but it has one serious flaw, everything takes way too long. it is just too slow!!!

Disappointing - only 1 quest line to solo with only 1 level of difficulty Not into online teams or PvP

If your objective was to sell the game and determine users to uninstall it after less than 30 hours and forget it, you perfectly succed at it! The gameplay and time involved in evolve is ridicoulous! This was my second and last aquisition of a game in the franchise!

Look the campaign was fun but they used AI for the story vids and the storyline so not that great. Also you can only play 1v1 against AI and no other bigger maps w/o playing with others and no one plays the PVP or Group vs AI either so you can only play on a 1v1 map ever. Other Skirmish RTS games have it to where you can play on big maps for up to 8 people and you can still only have 1v1 on the map but not with this game. There is no customizing the vs in this game if you are playing alone and since no one plays the game online together you are stuck with only playing the campaign or a 1v1 against AI which is way to easy to beat. And if you try their Hardcore challenges, the 1v1 is simple and the 2v2 is easy enough if you set up defenses since you are actually doing a 1v2 at that point. But if you try to do the 4v4 (or since no one plays this it is now 1v4) hardcore challenge you get your face stomped by the AI who starts unfairly with double sized armies and somehow gains access to late game troops within the first 20mins of the match....... so yeah way unbalanced and they seriously should have thought of having AI as a player placement for your allies or at least made it actually…
