"Cultures: 8th Wonder of the World" is part of the widely popular RTS game series "Cultures" and the successor of the well-known and successful "Cultures 2 - The Gates of Asgard" and "Cultures: Northland". This adventure and strategy game will see you assuming the role of a Viking hero charged with saving humanity from the forces of evil. 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD takes place some years after the end of "Northland". The renowned heroes around the Viking Bjarni retired after their last adventure and enjoyed their daily lives. But one day the powers of darkness and evil slowly began spreading all over the world. At the beginning, nobody noticed this or paid any attention, but people soon felt that suspicion, hate, war and harm were returning to humanity. More and more parts of the known world were attacked by the evil that nobody could grasp or fight against. When the end seemed close and the world stood on the brink of eternal chaos, the chiefs of all countries gathered in the Council of Nations. In long debates they tried to find a means to fight the evil. But nobody knew what could be done... The one of the wise men came across some old writings which mentioned a way to fight the evil. A long and dangerous way, because only if the Eight Wonders of the Would were built again could darkness be banished and the evil defeated. The greatest heroes of the past were summoned. The people addressed our friend Bjarni, who at once set out to save humanity from a fatal fortune again with his wife Cyra and their son Mani... Their destiny, and with it the destiny of all humanity, now lies in your hands. You must solve the mystery surrounding the Eight Wonder of the World with your heroes and banish darkness from the Earth!

The UI is impossible to navigate, most buttons are offscreen. The menu has not been adapted for mobile devices, so changing the resolution in game actually breaks the game and makes it unplayable, as it makes the game so tiny that you cannot read or see anything. The controls are clunky and poorly executed. This is an absolute joke. This game was one of my favourites as a child and I was excited to play it again, but I could not even start a game as there was no pause button or game speed controls anywhere, and I could not get the camera to remain where I wanted it, and moving it elsewhere was literally impossible. Not to mention how difficult it is to actually get your vikings to move. This is a scam and is absolute theft. I'm getting a refund. Do not buy, just get the game on PC instead. ### 1/5 — Häuser Bauen funktioniert immer noch nicht!!! *2024-12-08* Wieso wird die App immernoch zum Kauf angeboten, wenn sie nach wie vor nicht nutzbar ist??? ### 1/5 — Katastrophe…was anderes fällt mir nicht ein *2024-10-07* Ich spiele eigentlich ziemlich viele Aufbau- und Strategiespiele, aber das ist echt unterirdisch. Die Bedienung ist quasi unmöglich und reines Glück wenn die Figuren mal ein Kommando ausführen. Menüs sind viel zu klein und werden am Displayrand abgeschnitten. Ich kann nur sagen: spart das Geld und kauft was anderes… ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2022-01-20* Wish there was more like this, much more interesting and challenging than the tenacious ‘in app purchase’ versions that are everywhere. ### 1/5 — Geld rausgeschmissen *2020-09-18* Ich kann das Spiel nicht auf dem Tablet spielen, da ich nicht bauen kann...Support war erst nicht hilfreich und antwortete dann irgendwann nicht mehr...Ich hätte gern mein Geld zurück! ### 1/5 — Cultures:8th wonder of the world *2020-01-04* Terrible. I couldn’t get the game started. Directions were not good, completely not understandable. Tried to get characters to do things and they wouldn’t move. ### 1/5 — Bauen auf Ipad nicht möglich *2019-11-26* Man kann auf dem Ipad nichts bauen.... daher 1 ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Nett *2019-06-22* Sehr nett, ich spiele das Spiel immer und immer wieder in allen Varianten. Ich würde mir einen Editor oder die ersten Teile von Cultures. ### 5/5 — 8th wonder of the world *2019-03-13* The game is just like the PC game the controls are a little different after you get used to them it’s just like the original would love more contents and updates but the game is highly addictive can get lost in it for hours ### 1/5 — Keine Baufunktion mit dem IPad!!!! *2018-08-19* Nachdem beim Vorgänger „Cultures – Resie zum Nordland“ schon die Funktion Häuser bauen mit dem IPad nicht möglich war, dachte ich, es hätte sich hier etwas getan... Fehlanzeige!!! Trotz des extra anwerbens FÜR das IPad, geht das Häuser bauen hier wieder nicht! Ich bin absolut enttäuscht und möchte mein Geld zurück!!!!! Denn immerhin hab ich jetzt insgesamt 12€ für NICHTS rausgeballert! Das es so etwas überhaupt noch geben darf? Ich hoffe es wird SOFORT gehandelt von den Machern!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Cultures II ### What is the gameplay like in Cultures II?
